| In addition, the victim or heirs, as the case may be, can also recover moral damages pursuant to Article 2219 of the Civil Code. In rape cases, moral damages are awarded without need of proof other than the fact of rape because it is assumed that the victim has suffered moral injuries entitling her to such an award.[37] In this respect, we agree with the appellate court in the award of P50,000.00 as moral damages. The appellate court's award of P25,000.00 as exemplary damages by way of public example is also proper.[38] | |||||

| On 21 April 1995, Hi-Tone filed a Petition under Rule 65 of the Revised Rules of Court with the Court of Appeals.[30] It imputed grave abuse of discretion to respondent judge in 1) declaring the Register of Deeds in default without any factual or legal basis; 2) stringently enforcing technical rules of procedure without considering the actual merits of the case; 3) not taking judicial notice that Baikal Realty failed to exhaust administrative remedies and that Baikal Realty's documents and titles are fictitious and questionable while Hi-Tone has a valid and legal title over the subject property; and 4) issuing the 29 March 1995 Order directing the Register of Deeds to register the subject deed in Baikal Realty's name in violation of Hi-Tone's right to due process. Thus, Hi-Tone prayed for the nullification of the questioned order. | |||||
