RECIDIVISM:
When the offender has been convicted by two felonies that has
been embraced in the same title of the Revised Penal Code. The
penalty shall be raised in the maximum because the nature of
recidivism is a generic aggravating circumstance.
However, if there is a mitigating circumstance to offset the same
then it will not raise the penalty to its maximum period.
