A Filipino who has had 12 convictions, eight of them involving dishonesty, was sentenced to a month in jail today after he pleaded guilty at Eastern Court to stealing $524 worth of chocolates at a 7-Eleven store.
Roel Galanza, 41 years old, failed to appear at his last hearing and was ordered arrested by Principal Magistrate Don So, and his bail of $500 confiscated.
So also ordered the defendant to pay compensation to DFI Retail Group Holdings, which owns the North Point store where he stole the four boxes of chocolate on Dec. 19 last year.

His duty lawyer said, however, that Galanza was unable to add to the bail that he had put up, to fully pay for what he stole.
In response, So set the compensation at $500, to be offset from the bail.
The defense lawyer said Galanza was forced to commit the
offense because he was jobless and had no money.
