    Baingkong, Abdul Rakman, & Undang Kosain). Wife and 6 children died except for
    him and Undang Kosain (6 y.o. daughter).
    Kosain Manibpol fled to the house of their neighbor Angcogan while Undang Kosain

    The following were charged with multiple murder and double frustrated murder:
    o Nicolas Bate boxed Manibpol. Hacked the back of Undang Kosain. Seen

    ISSUES / HELD

    Lower court erred in admitting death certificate (only based on the sketch prepared
    by police) issued by the doctor who did not personally view and examine the victims?
    NO.
    Lower court erred in disregarding testimonies of accused despite strong evidence
    showing they were not in the scene of the crime? NO.
    Lower court erred in not granting new trial since complaining witness made a
    voluntary extra-judicial admission (thru an affidavit executed by Romualdo Diosma,
    Barrio Captain of Lampayan, Matalam, Cotabato) that he merely involved Baldesco
    for a consideration? NO.
    The evidence failed to establish conspiracy among the accused? NO.
    The decision is contrary to law? NO.
    Death of Baldesco extinguishes criminal liability? YES.
    Death of Baldesco extinguished civil liability? NO. (J. Barredo dissenting.)

    RATIO

    The death certificates are only corroborative of the testimonies of the prosecution
    witnesses.
    The defense of alibi, which is easy to concoct, must be received with utmost caution,
    for it is one of weakest defenses that can be resorted to by an accused (People v.
    Castaeda; People v. Cortez). Alibi is unavailing once the accused is positively
    identified by one without motive to charge falsely said accused, specially with a
    grave offense that could bring death by execution on the culprit. (People v. Estante)
    The purported extra-judicial admission is a last-minute concoction.
    Conspiracy implies concert of design and not participation in every detail of the
    execution
    Civil liability of Baldesco remains to be determined which can be recovered from his
    estate.

    SEPARATE OPINIONS

    C.J. Fernando, Concurring
    The criminal case was terminated upon the death of Baldesco.

    J. Barredo, Concurring & Dissenting
    Both civil and criminal liability are extinguished upon the death of Baldesco.
