	GR No. 153591 2004-02-23	PEOPLE v. RENATO GARCIA Y ROMANO YNARES-SANTIAGO, J.
The trial court correctly awarded P50,000.00 as civil indemnity. However, the award of moral damages in the amount of P500,000.00 should be reduced to P50,000.00.[13] The award of P30,000.00 as actual damages must likewise be modified. The mother of the victim presented receipts that they, in fact, spent P58,257.90[14] for hospital bills and funeral expenses. The fact that she received P40,000.00 from insurance will not affect the award of actual damages.[15] The award of exemplary damages is deleted for lack of factual basis.
