As to the civil aspect of the case, the award of civil indemnity to the heirs in the amount of P50,000.00 is hereby affirmed.[46]
	GR No. 123298 2003-11-27	PEOPLE v. FRANCISCO L. CALPITO AZCUNA, J.
On the matter of appellant's civil liability, this Court finds it appropriate to impose additional damages in line with prevailing jurisprudence: exemplary damages in the amount of P25,000[28] and temperate damages in the amount of P25,000. [29] The civil indemnity in the amount of P50,000 is sustained.
	GR Nos. 135779-81 2003-11-21	PEOPLE v. LUCIANO DE GUZMAN CORONA, J.
Lastly, exemplary damages of P25,000 are also awarded, given that the qualifying circumstance of treachery attended the commission of the crime.[18]
	GR No. 121177 2003-11-12	PEOPLE v. CHARLIE ALMOGUERRA PER CURIAM
Anent the award for exemplary damages, Article 2230 of the Civil Code provides that in criminal offenses, exemplary damages may be imposed when the crime was committed with one or more aggravating circumstances. Considering that the aggravating circumstance of dwelling is present here, P25,000.00[65] exemplary damages may be awarded to spouses Julaton.
	GR No. 122103 2003-11-04	PEOPLE v. WILFREDO PABILLO TINGA, J.
On the matter of appellant's civil liability ex delicto, it has been the ruling of the Court to outrightly award P50,000.00 as indemnity to the heirs of the victim.[50] Thus, we uphold the trial court's award of P50,000.00 as damages. Moreover, as ruled in People vs. De Los Santos,[51] an additional award of P25,000.00 as temperate damages is justified in the absence of proof for the award of actual damages, and a further P25,000.00 as exemplary damages, in accordance with our ruling in People v. Nicolas.[52]
	GR No. 141217 2003-09-26	PEOPLE v. EUSEBIO DUBAN Y DOMINGO CARPIO MORALES, J.
This Court notes that while Rolly Barboza, the victim's brother, testified that the victim's family incurred medical and funeral expenses in the amount of P65,000.00, he, in support thereof, presented a list[23] of expenses. Only substantiated and proven expenses, however, or those that appear to have been genuinely incurred in connection with the death, wake or burial of the victim will be recognized in court.[24] A list of expenses is not considered a competent proof and cannot replace the official receipts necessary to justify the award of actual damages. [25] Neither can the funeral contract[26] submitted in evidence by the prosecution be sufficient, it not being proof that what was stipulated therein was eventually paid.[27]
