	GR No. 177751 2013-01-07	PEOPLE v. FLORENCIO AGACER DEL CASTILLO, J.
It is also settled that "[u]pon the death of the accused pending appeal of his conviction, the criminal action is extinguished inasmuch as there is no longer a defendant to stand as the accused; the civil action instituted therein for recovery of civil liability ex delicto is ipso facto extinguished, grounded as it is on the criminal."[18]
	GR No. 169718 2010-12-13	DANTE HERNANDEZ DATU v. PEOPLE LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J.
Accordingly, this Court holds that the death of petitioner extinguished his criminal liability and the civil liability based solely on the act complained of, i.e., acts of lasciviousness. Thus, the assailed Court of Appeals' Decision dated March 31, 2005, affirming petitioner's conviction by the trial court, had become ineffectual.[11] As a result thereof, the instant petition is hereby dismissed.
	GR No. 175784 2010-08-25	PEOPLE v. JAIME AYOCHOK Y TAULI LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J.
