	GR No. 201445 2013-11-27	PEOPLE v. HERMENIGILDO MAGLENTE Y MEDINA REYES, J.
All the sums of money awarded to the victims and their heirs will accrue a six percent (6%) interest per annum from the time of this Decision until fully paid.[50] It should be noted, however, that since accused Velasquez no longer interposed an appeal before the Court, his liability shall be limited to the amounts awarded by the CA, since the latter's Decision has become final and executory with respect to him.[51]
	GR No. 177743 2012-01-25	PEOPLE v. ALFONSO FONTANILLA Y OBALDO BERSAMIN, J.
The Court also modifies the limiting of civil damages by the CA and the RTC to only the death indemnity of P50,000.00. When death occurs due to a crime, the damages to be awarded may include: (a) civil indemnity ex delicto for the death of the victim; (b) actual or compensatory damages; (c) moral damages; (d) exemplary damages; and (e) temperate damages.[30]
	GR No. 181204 2011-11-28	PEOPLE v. EDGAR CONCILLADO DEL CASTILLO, J.
As regards the damages, we find the award of P50,000.00 as civil indemnity pursuant to prevailing jurisprudence.[128] However, the CA erred in deleting the award of moral damages. "In cases of murder and homicide, the award of moral damages is mandatory, without need of allegation and proof other than the death of the victim."[129] Hence, Edgar should also pay the heirs of
	GR No. 178321 2011-10-05	PEOPLE v. CONRADO LAOG Y RAMIN VILLARAMA, JR., J.
We also affirm the trial court and CA in ordering appellant to pay the heirs of Jennifer Patawaran-Rosal the amounts of P50,000 as moral damages. In cases of murder and homicide, the award of moral damages is mandatory, without need of allegation and proof other than the death of the victim.[59]Anent the award of civil indemnity, the same is increased to P75,000 to conform with recent jurisprudence.[60] As to expenses incurred for the funeral and burial of Jennifer, the CA correctly awarded her heirs the amount of P25,000 as actual damages, said amount having been stipulated by the parties during the trial.
	GR No. 188562 2011-08-17	PEOPLE v. RODEL LANUZA Y BAGAOISAN LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J.
There is similarly no reason for the Court to disturb the award of damages made by the court a quo. Accused-appellant shall compensate private complainant for actual damages in the amount of P70,000.00 as the parties voluntarily stipulated during the pre-trial conference that private complainant incurred actual expenses in said amount because of his injuries. Accused-appellant shall also be liable for moral damages suffered by private complainant in the amount of P25,000.00, in accordance with jurisprudence.[26]
	GR No. 175330 2011-01-12	PEOPLE v. RODOLFO CAPITLE CARPIO, J.
When death occurs due to a crime, the following damages may be awarded: (1) civil indemnity ex delicto for the victim's death; (2) actual or compensatory damages; (3) moral damages; (4) exemplary damages; and (5) temperate damages.[21]
	GR No. 188320 2010-06-29	PEOPLE v. RIO TIBON Y DEISO VELASCO JR., J.
When death occurs due to a crime, the following damages may be awarded: (1) civil indemnity ex delicto for the death of the victim; (2) actual or compensatory damages; (3) moral damages; (4) exemplary damages; and (5) temperate damages.[26]
	GR No. 184173 2009-03-13	PEOPLE v. JUDITO MOLINA CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
The award of P20,000.00, as civil indemnity to each victim of attempted murder, is neither arbitrary nor excessive because such award is in line with this Court's ruling in People v. Gutierrez,[62] citing People v. Almazan.[63] The lower courts did not award moral and exemplary damages. To conform to this Court's current ruling in People v. Domingo,[64] awards of moral and exemplary damages in the amounts of P10,000.00 and P25,000.00, respectively,[65] to each victim, are in order.
