Continuous Crime – A single crime consisting of a series

of acts arising from a single criminal resolution or intent,

not susceptible of division, with each act in that series
being merely the partial execution of a single delict.

Complex Crimes – When a single act constitutes two or

more grave or less grave felonies, or when an offense is a
necessary means for committing the other, the penalty
for the most serious crime shall be imposed, the same to
be applied in its maximum period (Art. 48, RPC).
Special Complex Crimes – like Robbery with Homicide,
where the law effectively treats the offense as an
undivided felony in itself and then prescribes a specific
penalty therefor. Article 294 is explicit in this:
Art. 294: Any person guilty of robbery with the use f
violence against or intimidation of any person shall
suffer:
1. The penalty of reclusion perpetual to death, when y
reason or on occasion of the robbery, the crime of
homicide shall have been committed, or when the
robbery shall have been accompanied by rape or
intentional mutilation or arson.
