| "Exemplary damages are designed by our civil law to permit the courts to reshape behaviour that is socially deleterious in its consequence by creating negative incentives or deterrents against such behaviour."[40] As such, they may be awarded even when not pleaded or prayed for.[41] In order to prevent the commission of a similar act in the future, AMA shall pay New World exemplary damages in the amount of P100,000. | |||||
