I am worried that I might go to jail if I lose a small claims court case in the Philippines. I want to know if there is any possibility of imprisonment for such cases.

In the given scenario, the defendant's absence permits the court to continue with the proceedings without any further notification.

In cases such as small claims, which are civil in nature, the absence of the defendant does not warrant the issuance of an arrest warrant.

This is because civil cases are not criminal proceedings, and the consequences are not as severe.
