	GR No. 191390 2014-04-02	PEOPLE v. JOEL DIOQUINO Y GARBIN VILLARAMA, JR., J.
As to the award of damages, the Court affirms the grant by the CA to ABC of P50,000 civil indemnity and P50,000 moral damages for each count of rape as it is in accord with prevailing jurisprudence.[17] However, as a public example, to protect hapless individuals from molestation, we decree an award of exemplary damages in the amount of P30,000 in line with People v. Pabol.[18] Interest at the rate of 6% per annum should likewise be imposed on all damages awarded in this case reckoned from the date of finality of this decision until fully paid.[19]
	GR No. 199268 2014-02-12	PEOPLE v. AURELIO JASTIVA LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J.
As to the damages awarded by the RTC to AAA, though the Court of Appeals affirmed the same, however, in the dispositive portion of the decision, it further imposed upon appellant Jastiva the need to pay interest on all the damages due at the legal rate of 6% per annum from the finality of its decision the Court of Appeals anchored its directive upon this Court's decisions in People v. Galvez[34] and People v. Abella.[35]
	GR No. 192941 2013-11-13	PEOPLE v. DANIEL ALCOBER LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J.
The proper penalty for qualified rape is reclusion perpetua pursuant to Republic Act No. 9346 which prohibited the imposition of the death penalty. Consistent with prevailing jurisprudence, we modify the amount of exemplary damages for qualified rape by increasing the same from Twenty-Five Thousand Pesos (P25,000.00) to Thirty Thousand Pesos (P30,000.00) following established jurisprudence.[39]
	GR No. 185844 2011-11-23	PEOPLE v. ARNEL MANJARES LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J.
As correctly pointed out by the Court of Appeals, the proper penalty for qualified rape (as charged in Criminal Case Nos. 00-0590 and 00-0653) is reclusion perpetua without eligibility for parole pursuant to Republic Act No. 9346 which prohibited the imposition of the death penalty. In addition, consistent with prevailing jurisprudence on simple rape in order to set a public example, to serve as deterrent to elders who abuse and corrupt the youth and to protect the latter from sexual abuse,[50] we modify the trial court's Decision as regards the exemplary damages that should be granted to the victim and increase the same from Twenty-Five Thousand Pesos (P25,000.00) to Thirty Thousand Pesos (P30,000.00) for each of the twenty-five (25) counts of rape in Criminal Case Nos. 00-0488 to 0495, 00-0497 to 0512, and 0571. Furthermore, we revise the modification made by the Court of Appeals with regard to the amount of exemplary damages awarded in Criminal Case Nos. 0590 and 0653 for qualified rape by increasing the same from Twenty-Five Thousand Pesos (P25,000.00) to Thirty Thousand Pesos (P30,000.00) following established jurisprudence.[51]
