Short answer. Yes. The article covering robbery in an uninhabited place or private building carries a built-in enhancement for large cattle: when the property taken is mail matter or large cattle, the offender shall suffer the penalties next higher in degree than what the article otherwise imposes for ordinary property.

Revised Penal Code, Article 302 — Robbery In Uninhabited Or Private Building. Read the full provision →
The base penalty for this kind of robbery
The article deals with robbery committed in an uninhabited place or in a building other than an inhabited house, and sets its penalty according to the value of the property taken and whether the entry involved forced or unauthorized means — through an opening not meant for entrance, by breaking a wall, door, or window, through false keys or picklocks, or by breaking a locked receptacle. That baseline penalty is what an ordinary theft of property under this article would carry, and it binds regardless of whether the offender acted alone or with others in committing the robbery.
Large cattle gets a specific enhancement
On top of that baseline, the same article carries a separate rule that singles out two categories for harsher treatment: mail matter and large cattle. Where the property taken falls into either category, the penalty is not the ordinary one described above — the offender instead suffers the penalty next higher in degree than what would otherwise apply. Large cattle is treated as deserving more severe punishment than an equivalent robbery of otherwise ordinary property.
Why large cattle is singled out
The enhancement reflects that large cattle has long carried particular economic and practical importance, distinct from ordinary movable property, which is why the law raises the penalty a full degree specifically for it rather than leaving it to be judged purely by peso value like other stolen goods. The same heavier treatment applies to mail matter alongside large cattle under this same provision — the article does not extend that enhancement to other categories of property, however valuable they might be.
The peso figures in this article were revised by later law
The values referenced in this article were amended by Republic Act No. 10951 (2017), which revised the property thresholds and fines across the Revised Penal Code. If you are working from an older printed source, confirm whether the figures it quotes reflect that 2017 revision before relying on them, since older reproductions can still show the amounts exactly as originally enacted decades earlier, before the revision.
