When your garbage is smelly, put a slice of bread soaked with vinegar and leave it in the trash overnight and get the smell out tomorrow.

Kapag nangangamoy ang basurahan, maglagay lang ng isang slice ng tinapay na binuhusan ng suka. Iwanan ito sa basurahan overnight at mawawala na ang amoy kinabukasan.

Jolo Cathedral Bombers Charged with Complex Crime of Multiple Murder

On
Complex Crime of Multiple Murder with Multiple Frustrated Murder Filed against the Jolo Cathedral Bombers.

Sulu Provincial Prosecutors Office, sasampahan na ng kasong Complex Crime of Multiple Murder with Multiple Frustrated Murder at Damage to Property sina Mukammar Pae at apat na iba pa kaugnay ng  pagsabog sa Jolo Cathedral matapos makitaan ng probable cause.(Maan Macapagal) @DZMMTeleRadyo


For purposes of the criminology licensure examination, bear in mind that there is no provision in the Revised Penal Code that defines Damage to Property and penalizes it as a felony. Malicious Mischief, punishable under Art.237 of the Revised Penal Code, is the nearest felony that a complainant may utilize for the purpose of filing a complaint involving intentional destruction of property.

Important Points To Remember Regarding The Felony of Murder

- One attendant qualifying circumstance is enough. If there is more than one alleged in the information for murder, only one will qualify the killing to murder and the other circumstances will be taken as generic.

- Any of the qualifying circumstances enumerated in Art.248 must be alleged in the information.

- When the other circumstances are absorbed or included in one qualifying circumstance, they cannot be considered as generic aggravating.

- When the victim is already dead, intent to kill becomes irrelevant. It is important only if the victim did not die to determine if the felony is physical injury or attempted or frustrated homicide.

Motive vs. Intent

On
1. Distinguish intent from motive in Criminal Law.
2. May crimes be committed without criminal intent?

1. Motive is the moving power which impels one to action for a definite result; whereas intent is the purpose to use a particular means to effect such results. Motive is not an essential element of a felony and need not be proved for the purpose of conviction, while intent is an essential element of felonies by dolo.

2. Yes, a crime may be committed without criminal intent is such is a culpable felony, wherein intent is substituted by negligence or imprudence, and also in a malum prohibitum or if an act is punishable by special law.


1999 Bar Exam Question

1. Distinguish "motive" from "intent".
2. When is motive relevant to prove a case? When is it not necessary to be established? Explain.

1. "Motive" is the moving power that impels a person to do an act for a definite result, while "intent" is the purpose for using a particular means to bring about a desired result. Motive is not an element of a crime, but intent is an element of intentional crimes. Motive, if attending a crime, always precedes the intent.

2. Motive is relevant to prove a case when there is doubt as to the identity of the offender or when the act committed gives rise to variant crimes, and there is a need to determine the proper crime to be imputed to the offender.

It is not necessary to prove motive when the offender is positively identified or the criminal act did not give rise to variant crimes.


2004 Bar Exam Question

Distinguish clearly but briefly between intent and motive in the commission of an offense.

Intent is the purpose for using a particular means to achieve the desired result, while motive is the moving power that impels a person to act for a definite result. Intent is an ingredient of dolo or malice and thus an element of deliberate felonies, while motive is not an element of a crime but is only considered when the identity of the offender is in doubt.


2006 Bar Exam Question

Motive is essential in the determination of the commission of a crime and the liabilities
of the perpetrators. What are the instances where proof of motive is not essential or
required to justify the conviction of an accused? Give at least 3 instances.

Suggested Answer:

1. When there is an eyewitness or positive identification of the accused.
2. When the accused admitted or confessed to the commission of the crime.
3. In Crimes Mala Prohibita
4. In direct assault, when the victim, who is a person in authority or agent of a person in authority, was attacked in the actual performance of his duty (Art.148, Revised Penal Code).
5. In crimes committed through reckless imprudence.
