Reservation of Separate Civil Action in BP 22

Nothing in Section 1(b) of Rule 11 prohibits the reservation of a separate civil action against the juridical person on whose behalf the check was issued. What the rules prohibit is the reservation of a separate civil action against the natural person charged with violating B.P. Blg. 22, including such corporate officer who had signed the bounced check. (Gosiaco v. Ching, G.R. No. 173807, April 16, 2009)
