In light of current jurisprudence,[25] the Court, however, finds the award of exemplary damages excessive. Art. 2229 of the Civil Code provides that exemplary damages may be imposed by way of example or correction for the public good. Nevertheless, "exemplary damages are imposed not to enrich one party or impoverish another, but to serve as a deterrent against or as a negative incentive to curb socially deleterious actions."[26] On this basis, the award of exemplary damages in the amount of PhP 100,000 is reduced to PhP 30,000.
