| As to appellant's civil liability, we find modifications are in order. The trial court ordered appellant to pay the victim P200,000.00 as moral damages. In addition, when the penalty imposed is reclusion perpetua, civil indemnity in the sum of P50,000.00 for each count of rape is proper.[29] Further, we must also award P25,000.00 as exemplary damages in each count, in order to deter fathers with perverse tendencies or aberrant sexual behavior from taking advantage of their own daughters.[30] | |||||
