	GR No. 188704 2010-07-07	PEOPLE v. PEDRO ORTIZ MENDOZA, J.
The Court likewise grants P25,000.00 as temperate damages in keeping with current jurisprudence allowing it where the funeral and burial expenses spent for the victim cannot be fully substantiated or there is no proof of actual damages.[22]
	GR No. 188104 2010-04-23	PEOPLE v. BENANCIO MORTERA Y BELARMINO MENDOZA, J.
As regards damages, we affirm the modification made by the Court of Appeals. Considering that only P14,653.50 of the P38,653.00 actual damages awarded by the trial court is supported by receipts, the award of P25,000.00 as temperate damages is proper.[19] We, however, reinstate the amount of exemplary damages to P30,000.00 to be in accord with current jurisprudence.[20]
