MIGUEL ARGEL v. JUDGE HERMINIA M. PASCUA
BELLOSILLO, J.
In criminal cases, a judgment of acquittal is immediately final upon its promulgation.[12] It cannot be recalled for correction or amendment[13] except in the cases already mentioned nor withdrawn by another order reconsidering the dismissal of the case since the inherent power of a court to modify its order or decision does not extend to a judgment of acquittal in a criminal case.[14]
