This case has been cited 4 times or more.

	GR No. 185206 2010-08-25	PEOPLE v. MANUEL AGUILAR PEREZ, J.
In People vs. Anthony R. Rante,[26] citing People vs. Antonio D. Dalisay[27] and People vs. Cristino Cañada,[28] the Court awarded exemplary damages to set a public example, to serve as deterrent to elders who abuse and corrupt the youth, and to protect the latter from sexual abuse.
	GR No. 177219 2010-07-09	PEOPLE v. ROGELIO ALARCON MENDOZA, J.
The award of exemplary damages is likewise proper. As held in People v. Dalisay,[40] "being corrective in nature, exemplary damages, therefore, can be awarded, not only in the presence of an aggravating circumstance, but also where the circumstances of the case show the highly reprehensible or outrageous conduct of the offender." In much the same way as Article 2230 of the Civil Code prescribes an instance when exemplary damages may be awarded, Article 2229, the main provision, lays down the very basis of the award. Thus, in People v. Matrimonio,[41] the Court imposed exemplary damages to deter other fathers with perverse tendencies or aberrant sexual behavior from sexually abusing their own daughters. Also, in People v. Cristobal,[42] the Court awarded exemplary damages on account of the moral corruption, perversity and wickedness of the accused in sexually assaulting a pregnant married woman. Recently, in People v. Cristino Cañada,[43] People v. Pepito Neverio[44] and People v. Lorenzo Layco, Sr.,[45] the Court awarded exemplary damages to set a public example, to serve as deterrent to elders who abuse and corrupt the youth, and to protect the latter from sexual abuse. It must be noted that, in the said cases, the Court used as basis Article 2229, rather than Article 2230, to justify the award of exemplary damages. Indeed, the deplorable act of the accused in defiling his daughter must not go unpunished.
