CORONA, J. |

| It must be recalled that, immediately prior to the incident, Tumayao punched Ruben in the presence of many people at the wedding party. Although the incident did not immediately precede the killing, its impact, by reason of its seriousness and the circumstances under which it was inflicted, festered till the commission of the crime.[41] The mitigating circumstance of immediate vindication of a grave offense must, therefore, be appreciated in favor of the appellants. | |||||
