	GR Nos. 177105-06 2010-08-12	JOSE REYES Y VACIO v. PEOPLE BERSAMIN, J.
Evident bad faith connotes a manifest deliberate intent on the part of the accused to do wrong or to cause damage.[31] It contemplates a breach of sworn duty through some perverse motive or ill will.[32]
	GR NO. 131397 2006-01-31	REPUBLIC v. ANIANO DESIERTO SANDOVAL-GUTIERREZ, J.
Likewise, evident bad faith cannot be imputed to the private respondents. Bad faith "does not simply connote bad judgment or negligence; it imputes a dishonest purpose or some moral obliquity and conscious doing of a wrong; a breach of sworn duty through some motive or intent or ill will; it partakes of the nature of a fraud."[7] In short, it is a manifest deliberate intent on the part of the accused to do wrong or to cause damage. There is nothing on record to show that private respondent DBP officials were spurred by any corrupt motive or that they received any material benefit from the sale of the DBP shareholdings to STC.
