| In Engineering Construct ion Inc. v. National Power Corporation,[38] we expanded the RCPI doctrine to likewise exclude consequential damages and attorney's fees from execution pending appeal.[39] The doctrine has since been reiterated in Heirs of Santiago C. Divinagracia v. Ruiz,[40] International School, Inc. (Manila) v. Court of Appeals,[41] Echauz v. Court of Appeals,[42] and Valencia v. Court of Appeals.[43] Clearly, the RTC committed legal error when it ordered the premature execution of the awards of moral damages, exemplary damages, and attorney's fees. Nonetheless, we recognize that the RTC had the power to order the execution pending appeal of actual or compensatory damages in accordance with the cited authorities. | |||||
