| Moral damages in the amount of P50,000.00[42] was also correctly awarded by the CA. As borne out by human nature and experience, a violent death invariably and necessarily brings about emotional pain and anguish on the part of the victim's family.[43] Meanwhile, exemplary damages in the amount of P30,000.00 was also properly awarded.[44] | |||||

PEREZ, J. |

| At the outset, it bears repeating that factual findings of the trial court, when affirmed by the Court of Appeals, are generally binding and conclusive upon the Supreme Court.[21] Except for compelling or exceptional reasons, such as when they were sufficiently shown to be contrary to the evidence on record, the findings of fact of the Regional Trial Court will not be disturbed by this Court.[22] Thus, once a guilty verdict has been rendered, the appellant has the burden of clearly proving on appeal that the lower court committed errors in the appreciation of the evidence presented.[23] Here, there is no showing that the trial court or the Court of Appeals overlooked some material facts or committed any reversible error in their factual findings. | |||||
