| The death indemnity of P30,000.00 was correctly increased by the appellate court to P50,000.00 in line with jurisprudence.[52] Moral damages are awarded in criminal cases involving injuries if supported by evidence on record,[53] but the stipulation of the parties in this case substitutes for the necessity of evidence in support thereof. Though not awarded below, the victim's heirs are entitled to moral damages in the amount of P50,000.00 which is considered reasonable considering the pain and anguish brought by his death.[54] | |||||
