	GR No. 201595 2016-01-25	ALLAN M. MENDOZA v. OFFICERS OF MANILA WATER EMPLOYEES UNION DEL CASTILLO, J.
Under Article 2229 of the Civil Code, '[e]xemplary or corrective damages are imposed, by way of example or correction for the public good, in addition to the moral, temperate, liquidated or compensatory damages.' As this court has stated in the past: 'Exemplary damages are designed by our civil law to permit the courts to reshape behaviour that is socially deleterious in its consequence by creating negative incentives or deterrents against such behaviour.'[57]
