This case has been cited 3 times or more.

	GR No. 180511 2008-07-28	PEOPLE v. MARILYN NAQUITA Y CIBULO CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
Under Section 5, Article II of Republic Act No. 9165, the sale of any dangerous drug, regardless of its quantity and purity, is punishable by life imprisonment to death and a fine of P500,000.00 to P10,000,000.00.[66] The statute, in prescribing the range of penalties imposable, does not concern itself with the amount of dangerous drug sold by an accused.[67] With the effectivity, however, of Republic Act No. 9346, otherwise known as "An Act Prohibiting the Imposition of Death Penalty in the Philippines," the imposition of the supreme penalty of death has been proscribed. Thus, the penalty to be imposed on appellant shall only be life imprisonment and fine. Finding that the penalty imposed on appellant for selling shabu is in accordance with law, this Court upholds the same.
	GR No. 178876 2008-06-27	PEOPLE v. ALFREDO CONCEPCION Y CLEMENTE CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
Under Section 5, Article II of Republic Act No. 9165, the sale of any dangerous drug, regardless of its quantity and purity, is punishable by life imprisonment to death and a fine of P500,000.00 to P10,000,000.00.[55] The statute, in prescribing the range of penalties imposable, does not concern itself with the amount of dangerous drug sold by an accused.[56] With the effectivity, however, of Republic Act No. 9346, otherwise known as "An Act Prohibiting the Imposition of Death Penalty in the Philippines," the imposition of the supreme penalty of death has been proscribed. As a consequence, the penalty to be meted to appellants shall only be life imprisonment and fine. The penalty imposed by the court a quo being in accordance with law, and which the appellate court upheld, this Court similarly sustains the same.
