In the Philippines, the penalty for attempted murder is usually imprisonment, which ranges from 6 years and 1 day to 12 years.

Under the Revised Penal Code, if a person commits an act that would constitute murder but does not result in death (for example, the victim survives), it may be classified as attempted murder if there is clear intent to kill and qualifying circumstances like treachery, cruelty, or premeditation.

The penalty for attempted murder is one degree lower than that of murder, which is reclusion temporal (12 to 20 years), so attempted murder generally gets 6 to 12 years of imprisonment, depending on the court’s ruling and the circumstances involved.
