	GR No. 148586 2004-05-25	PEOPLE v. LI KA KIM VITUG, J.
The requisites of newly discovered evidence in order to justify a new trial are that - (a) the evidence is discovered after trial; (b) such evidence could not have been discovered and produced at the trial even with the exercise of reasonable diligence; and (c) the evidence is material, not merely cumulative, corroborative, or impeaching, and of such weight that, if admitted, would likely change the judgment.[8]
	GR No. 136848 2001-11-29	PEOPLE v. RENATO RAMIREZ Y TEJADA BELLOSILLO, J.
Finally, we observe that while the trial court awarded moral damages, it did not grant civil indemnity ex delicto provided for in Art. 345 of the Revised Penal Code. Pursuant thereto and in accordance with prevailing jurisprudence, Michelle should be awarded P50,000.00 as civil indemnity[19] in addition to the award by the court a quo of P50,000.00 as moral damages for the immeasurable havoc wrought upon Michelle's youthful feminine psyche, which we affirm. In view of the peculiar relationship of the parties, accused-appellant should likewise be made to pay P25,000.00 as exemplary damages.
