PEREZ, J.
Ordinary human experience and common sense dictate that the wounds inflicted upon the aforesaid victims would naturally cause physical suffering, fright, serious anxiety, moral shock, and similar injuries.[118] It is only justifiable to grant them moral damages in the amount of P40,000.00 each in conformity with this Court's ruling in People v. Mokammad.[119]

In Criminal Case No. Q-01-100063, the solidary liability of Milan and Chua for moral damages to SPO1 Wilfredo Montecalvo is likewise increased to P40,000.00, in accordance with prevailing jurisprudence. [57]  An award of P20,000.00 as exemplary damages is also warranted. [58]  The additional amounts (P20,000.00 as moral damages and P20,000.00 as exemplary damages) are likewise to be solidarily borne only by Milan and Chua.

Treachery, which was alleged in the Information, also attended the commission of the crime. Time and again, this Court, in a plethora of cases, has consistently held that there is treachery when the offender commits any of the crimes against persons, employing means, methods or forms in the execution thereof, which tend directly and specially to ensure its execution without risk to himself arising from the defense that the offended party might make.  There are two (2) conditions that must concur for treachery to exist, to wit: (a) the employment of means of execution gave the person attacked no opportunity to defend himself or to retaliate; and (b) the means or method of execution was deliberately and consciously adopted.[67]  "The essence of treachery is that the attack is deliberate and without warning, done in a swift and unexpected manner, affording the hapless, unarmed and unsuspecting victim no chance to resist or escape."[68]

CARPIO MORALES, J.
When death occurs due to a crime, the grant of civil indemnity requires no proof other than the death of the victim. The heirs of Celerina are thus entitled to an award of P50,000.00 as civil indemnity ex delicto.[18] And so are Alvin's.
