PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES VS. DOMINGO QUISING ALIAS "INGGO"
G.R. No. 195529 (People of the Philippines vs. Domingo Quising alias "Inggo"). - The records of this case were elevated to this Court on March 1, 2011, pursuant to the Court of Appeals Resolution dated September 9, 2010 which gave due course to the notice of appeal filed by accused-appellant Domingo Quising.
In compliance with the Court's Resolution dated March 28, 2011, both the accused-appellant and the Office of the Solicitor General filed their respective manifestations and waiver stating that they were no longer filing their supplemental briefs with this Court; and that they were adopting all the allegations, issues and arguments adduced in their respective briefs filed before the Court of Appeals.
After a perusal of the records of the case, the Court resolved to DISMISS the appeal for failure of the appellant to sufficiently show reversible error in the challenged decision to warrant the exercise of the Court's appellate jurisdiction.

No. 03681, finding accused-appellant Domingo Quising guilty beyond reasonable doubt of rape defined and penalized under Articles 266-A and 266-B of the Revised Penal Code, as amended by Republic Act No. 7659 and to suffer the penalty of reclusion perpetua with no eligibility for parole pursuant to the provisions of Republic Act No. 9346, and to pay the victim the amount of P50,000.00 as civil indemnity and another P50,000.00 as moral damages.
