    Federico Geronimo and others were charged with the complex crime of rebellion with additional crimes of murder, robbery, and kidnapping. The court held that Geronimo admitted committing the additional crimes in furtherance of the rebellion, and the prosecution did not prove he had private motives. Therefore, the additional crimes were essential parts of the single crime of rebellion. As such, Geronimo could only be sentenced for the sole crime of rebellion, not the complex crime originally charged.

    [G.R. No. L-8936. October 23, 1956.]


    THE PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES, Plaintiff-Appellee, vs. FEDERICO GERONIMO alias Cmdr. OSCAR, ET
    AL., Defendants, FEDERICO GERONIMO alias Cmdr. OSCAR, Defendant-Appellant.

    Facts:

    Appellant Federico Geronimo, together with other accused, were charged


    with the complex crime of rebellion with murders, robberies, and
    kidnapping.

    Issue: Whether or not the crime committed should be absorbed by the


    crime of rebellion.

    Held:

    The accused admitted committing the crimes “as a necessary means”, “in
    connection and in furtherance of the rebellion”. The prosecution failed to
    charge that the Appellant was impelled by private motives for the acts
    committed. Wherefore, such overt acts must be taken as essential
    ingredients of the single crime of rebellion, and the accused pleaded guilty
    to this crime alone. Hence, there being no complex crime, the Appellant
    can only be sentenced for the lone crime of rebellion.
