LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J.
In conclusion, Sabangan is found guilty beyond reasonable doubt of murdering Felonia, the killing being qualified by treachery. With the prohibition against the imposition of the death penalty by Republic Act No. 9346, the only imposable penalty for the crime of murder is reclusion perpetua. The Court adds that accused-appellant shall not be eligible for parole. Again, pursuant to Section 3 of Republic Act No. 9346, "[p]ersons convicted of offenses punished with reclusion perpetua, or whose sentences will be reduced to reclusion perpetua, by reason of this Act, shall not be eligible for parole under Act No. 4180, otherwise known as the Indeterminate Sentence Law, as amended."[53]

The Court, however, adds that accused-appellants shall not be eligible for parole.

In Criminal Case No. C-369, where accused-appellants are convicted of the crime of Kidnapping for Ransom and Serious Illegal Detention, the Court of Appeals correctly reduced their sentence from death to reclusion perpetua considering the passage of Republic Act No. 9346, prohibiting the imposition of the death penalty.  The Court likewise emphasizes that accused-appellants shall not be eligible for parole.  Under Section 3 of Republic Act No. 9346, "[p]ersons convicted of offenses punished with reclusion perpetua, or whose sentences will be reduced to reclusion perpetua, by reason of this Act, shall not be eligible for parole under Act No. 4180, otherwise known as the Indeterminate Sentence Law, as amended."[41]
