| In any event, jurisprudence is settled that "any irregularity attending the arrest of an accused should be timely raised in a motion to quash the Information at any time before arraignment, failing [in] which, he is deemed to have waived"[17] his right to question the regularity of his arrest. As the records show, except during the inquest proceedings before the prosecutor's office, appellant never objected to the regularity of his arrest before his arraignment. In fact, he even actively participated in the trial of the case. With these lapses, he is estopped from raising any question regarding the same.[18] | |||||

| Lastly, on the matter of damages, the CA reduced the award of P2 million granted by the RTC as moral damages to P100,000.00, citing the 2004 case of People v. Castillo [37] and the 2007 case of People v. Rodrigo. [38] More recent cases, [39] however, dictate that moral damages in the amount of P200,000.00 be awarded. The award of P100,000.00 as exemplary damages is sustained. | |||||
