	GR Nos. 216007-09 2015-12-08	PEOPLE v. LUZVIMINDA S. VALDEZ PERALTA, J.
Petitioner countered in its Comment/Opposition[9] that the Indeterminate Sentence Law (ISL) is inapplicable as the attending circumstances are immaterial because the charge constituting the complex crime have the corresponding penalty of reclusion perpetua. Since the offense is punishable by reclusion perpetua, bail is discretionary. Instead of a motion to fix bail, a summary hearing to determine if the evidence of guilt is strong is, therefore, necessary conformably with Section 13, Article III of the 1987 Constitution and Section 4, Rule 114 of the Rules.
	GR No. 196271 2012-02-28	DATU MICHAEL ABAS KIDA v. SENATE OF PHILIPPINES BRION, J.
To be sure, the fact that the ARMM possesses more powers than other provinces, cities, or municipalities is not enough reason to treat the ARMM regional elections differently from the other local elections. Ubi lex non distinguit nec nos distinguire debemus. When the law does not distinguish, we must not distinguish.[10]
