	GR NO. 141066 2005-02-17	EVANGELINE LADONGA v. PEOPLE AUSTRIA-MARTINEZ, J.
As the Court eloquently pronounced in a case of recent vintage, People vs. Mandao:[40]
	GR No. 147201 2004-01-15	PEOPLE v. BENJAMIN SAYABOC Y SEGUBA DAVIDE JR., CJ.
However, as to Miguel Buenviaje and Patricio Escorpiso, there is paucity of evidence linking them to the killing. They might have been with Marlon Buenviaje in that tricycle, but there is nothing to show that they knew of the conspiracy to kill Galam. Absent any active participation in furtherance of the common design or purpose to kill Galam, their mere presence near the crime scene or in the tricycle driven by Marlon Buenviaje does not necessarily make them conspirators. Even knowledge, acquiescence or approval of the act without the cooperation and the agreement to cooperate is not enough to establish conspiracy.[49]
