	GR No. 180919 2013-01-09	PEOPLE v. MELBA L. ESPIRITU DEL CASTILLO, J.
Under Section 15, Article III, in relation to Section 20, Article IV, of the Dangerous Drugs Act of 1972, as amended by R.A. No. 7659, the unauthorized sale of 200 grams or more of shabu or methamphetamine hydrochloride is punishable by reclusion perpetua to death and a fine ranging from five hundred thousand pesos to ten million pesos.[52]
	GR No. 187157 2012-02-15	PEOPLE v. ARNEL CLARITE Y SALAZAR LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J.
As for accused-appellant's argument that he would not have sold shabu in a crowded place, we find the same unconvincing. We have already held in Ching v. People[26] that: This Court observed in many cases that drug pushers sell their prohibited articles to any prospective customer, be he a stranger or not, in private as well as in public places, even in the daytime. Indeed, drug pushers have become increasingly daring, dangerous and, worse, openly defiant of the law. Hence, what matters is not the time and venue of the sale, but the fact of agreement and the acts constituting sale and delivery of the prohibited drugs.[27]
	GR No. 184957 2009-10-27	PEOPLE v. GRACE VENTURA Y NATIVIDAD CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
In prosecutions involving the illegal sale of drugs, what is material is proof that the transaction or sale actually took place, coupled with the presentation in court of the prohibited or regulated drug as evidence.[21] For conviction of the crime of illegal sale of prohibited or regulated drugs, the following elements must concur: (1) the identities of the buyer and the seller, the object, and the consideration; and (2) the delivery of the thing sold and the payment for it.[22] The testimonial and documentary pieces of evidence adduced by the prosecution in support of its case against accused-appellant establish the presence of these elements.
	GR No. 186380 2009-10-12	PEOPLE v. MANUEL RESURRECCION VELASCO JR., J.
The penalty prescribed under Sec. 15, Article III of RA 6425, as amended by RA 7659, for unauthorized sale of 200 grams or more of shabu or methamphetamine hydrochloride, is reclusion perpetua to death and a fine ranging from PhP 500,000 to PhP 10 million.[24]
	GR No. 177741 2009-08-27	PEOPLE v. VS.WILLIE RIVERA CARPIO MORALES, J.
The matter of assigning values to declarations on the witness stand is best and most competently performed by the trial judge who, unlike appellate magistrates, can weigh such testimony in light of the witness' demeanor, conduct and position to discriminate between truth and falsehood. That is a time-tested doctrine. Thus, appellate courts will not disturb the credence, or lack of it, accorded by the trial court to the testimonies of witnesses. This is especially true when the trial court's findings have been affirmed by the appellate court as in the present case, because they are generally conclusive and binding upon the Court, unless it be manifestly shown, and appellant has not in the present case, that the lower courts had overlooked or disregarded arbitrarily the facts and circumstances of significance in the case.[11]
