| Unavailing also is rule that an extrajudicial confession may be admissible when it is used as a corroborative evidence of other facts that tend to establish the guilt of his co-accused. The implication of this rule is that there must be a finding of other circumstantial evidence which, when taken together with the confession, establishes the guilt of a co-accused beyond reasonable doubt.[16] As earlier stated, there is no other prosecution evidence, direct or circumstantial, which the extrajudicial confession may corroborate. | |||||

| The Court thus finds no reason to doubt the accuracy of the identification by prosecution witnesses Alejandra Rafael and Leonilo Hamoy of accused-appellants as the assailants of Gloria Rafael. Indeed, the same is supported by Rogelio Rafael's account which, curiously, accused-appellants chose not to assail in this appeal. Against their positive identification of accused-appellants, Mario Rafael's defense of denial and alibi cannot prevail.[26] | |||||

| With respect to the amount of damages, the following expenses were duly supported by receipts presented in evidence: P1,695.00 as medical expenses; P51,302.00 as hospital expenses; and P6,500.00 as funeral expenses, or the total amount of P59,497.00. The trial court's award of P50,000.00 by way of indemnity as a result of the death of the victim is in accordance with the current case law[48] and therefore is sustained. In addition, the amount of P50,000.00 as moral damages must likewise be awarded in favor of the heirs of the victim pursuant to recent rulings.[49] | |||||
