| Under Article 8 of the Revised Penal Code, "a conspiracy exists when two or more persons come to an agreement concerning the commission of a felony and decide to commit it." Proof of conspiracy may be direct or circumstantial.[39] So long as the evidence presented show a "common design or purpose"[40] to commit the crime, all of the accused shall be held equally liable as co-principals even if one or more of them did not participate in all the details of the execution of the crime.[41] | |||||

| For this reason, the fact of conspiracy "must be proven on the same quantum of evidence as the felony subject of the agreement of the parties,"[42] that is, proof beyond reasonable doubt.[43] | |||||
