This English term can be transliterated into Tagalog as péloní.
mabigat na krimen
“heavy crime”
felony
A felony is a serious crime, like robbery or murder, that usually comes with heavy penalties, such as a long prison sentence. On the other hand, a misdemeanor is a less serious crime, like petty theft or vandalism, which typically results in lighter penalties, such as a shorter jail time or a fine.
So, in simple terms: felonies are big crimes with big consequences, while misdemeanors are smaller crimes with smaller consequences.
