| The sum of Fifty Thousand (P50,000.00) Pesos awarded by the court a quo as civil indemnity ex delicto, without further need of proof of damage, is proper as it follows prevailing jurisprudence and is in line with the policy of the Court.[86] With regard to actual damages, the trial court found that the wife of the victim spent Twenty Five Thousand (P25,000.00) Pesos for food and drinks during the deceased's ten-day wake; Ten Thousand (P10,000.00) Pesos for funeral services and transportation expenses of Five Thousand (P5,000.00) Pesos.[87] Since accused-appellant does not question this finding of the trial court, he is liable to private complainants in the said amount as actual damages.[88] | |||||
