Under Article 70 of the Revised Penal Code, when the culprit has to serve two or more penalties, he shall serve them simultaneously if the nature of the penalties will so permit. Thus:

1. The principal penalty shall be served simultaneously with its corresponding accessory penalty;

2. Reclusion perpetua, reclusion temporal, prision mayor, prision correccional, aresto mayor, aresto menor, destierro, disqualification, or suspension may be served simultaneously with fine.
