This case has been cited 5 times or more.

	GR No. 124439 2004-02-05	PEOPLE v. FLOR GUTIERREZ Y TIMOD TINGA, J.
The crime becomes Illegal Recruitment in Large Scale when the two elements concur, with the addition of a third element: the recruiter committed the same against three or more persons, individually or as a group.[82]
	GR No. 138431-36 2001-09-12	PEOPLE v. DIOSCORA M. ARABIA GONZAGA-REYES, J.
Large scale illegal recruitment is punishable by life imprisonment and a fine of P100,000.00 under Article 39 (a) of the Labor Code,[12] hence, the trial court imposed the proper penalty.
	GR No. 129070 2001-03-16	PEOPLE v. NELLIE CABAIS Y GAMUELA PARDO, J.
The elements of estafa are: (a) that the accused defrauded another by abuse of confidence or by means of deceit, and (b) that damage or prejudice capable of pecuniary estimation is caused to the offended party or third person.[27] From the foregoing, the fact that the money was appropriated by accused for her own use is not an element of the crime of estafa. Thus, accused-appellant Cabais' contention under such ground is untenable.
	GR No. 126933 2001-02-23	PEOPLE v. ILUMINADA DELMO VALLE Y SOLETA PARDO, J.
(3) She committed the same against three or more persons, individually or as a group."[15]
	GR No. 131922 2000-11-15	PEOPLE v. VS.FELY LADERA PUNO, J.
Anent the damages to be paid by the accused Ladera, while it is true that not all of the monetary claims of the complainants are supported by receipts because either they have been lost or receipts were not issued to evidence payment, we have ruled that even lacking a receipt, a claim for damages may be sustained if the complainant is able to prove by his testimony that the accused was involved in the recruitment process and that she got the money claimed.[23] Therefore, the accused Ladera must pay the following unrefunded amounts to the complainants: P25,000.00 to Rodalino Cariño, P20,000.00 to Violeto Ramos, and P17,500.00 to Genaro Libuit representing the unpaid balance and the cost of the return plane fare; all with interest at the rate of 12% per annum reckoned from the date of filing of the instant cases until fully paid.
