	GR Nos. 128816 & 139979-80 2001-08-08	PEOPLE v. ALFREDO CABILTO Y PACAYRA YNARES-SANTIAGO, J.
As shown by the records, the deceased was a 42-year old welder, earning P250.00 daily at the time of his death.[27] Based on the foregoing, the award of loss of earning capacity of the deceased should be computed using the following formula:[28]
	GR No. 131588 2001-03-27	PEOPLE v. GLENN DE LOS SANTOS DAVIDE JR., C.J.
As far as the award of damages is concerned, we find a necessity to modify the same. Conformably with current jurisprudence,[34] we reduce the trial court's award of death indemnity from P75,000 to P50,000 for each group of heirs of the trainees killed. Likewise, for lack of factual basis, we delete the awards of P30,000 to each of those who suffered serious physical injuries and of P10,000 to each of those who suffered minor physical injuries.
	GR No. 132350 2000-07-05	PEOPLE v. LUTER ORCULA PUNO, J.
It appears, however, that accused-appellant Luter Orcula, Sr. voluntarily surrendered on April 5, 1994 and thereafter was committed to the custody of the Chief of Police of Kapalong, Davao by Judge Napy A. Agayan of the Municipal Trial Court of Kapalong.[38] There being one ordinary mitigating circumstance with no aggravating circumstance, the maximum penalty to be imposed should be reclusion temporal in its minimum period, pursuant to Article 64, par. 2 of the Revised Penal Code. Applying the Indeterminate Sentence Law, the minimum imposable penalty is any period within the range of the penalty next lower to that prescribed by the Code for the offense which is prision mayor. We likewise cannot sustain the award of actual damages in the amount of P3,000.00 considering that there were no receipts presented to support them.[39]
