| Relying solely on the letter of the law, the filing of the application for probation should be deemed a waiver of the right to appeal. However, in the case of Budlong v. Apalisok,[16] we had occasion to rule that the above provision of the Probation Law clearly provides only for the suspension of the sentence imposed on the accused by virtue of his application for probation. It has absolutely no bearing on civil liability. This ruling was clarified in Salgado v. Court of Appeals,[17] wherein we ruled that, although the execution of sentence is suspended by the grant of probation, it does not follow that the civil liability of the offender, if any, is extinguished. | |||||
