| With respect to the civil liability of appellant, we affirm the RTC decision in awarding civil indemnity in the amount of P75,000.00 which is mandatory upon a conviction for rape.[42] We however, modify the award of moral damages to P75,000.00,[43] in light of the prevailing jurisprudence that the victim is assumed to have suffered such damages.[44] The presence of the qualifying circumstance of minority necessitates the award of P25,000.00 as exemplary damages.[45] | |||||
