    This case involved Alfredo Bon who was convicted of raping his minor nieces. He was sentenced to eight death penalties by the trial court. However, due to a new law that downgraded penalties for certain crimes, his penalty was reduced. The Court of Appeals agreed with six of the eight death sentences being reduced to life imprisonment without parole. For the other two counts of attempted rape, the penalty was reduced by one degree to imprisonment. Therefore, while Bon's crimes were still punished severely, enactment of the new law spared him from the death penalty and reduced his overall punishment.

    RICKY A LAS PIÑAS Criminal Law 1

    PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES appellee, vs. ALFREDOBON, appellant.


    G.R. No. 166401. October 30, 2006.
    TINGA, J.:

    FACTS:

    This case is about the rape case of the appellant to his then-minor nieces. The penalty
    imposed consisted of eight (8) death sentences, the records of the case were
    automatically elevated to this Court for review. However, in the aftermath of the
    pronouncement of the Court in People v.Mateo, the present case was transferred to
    the Court of Appeals for appropriate action and disposition. On 29 December 2004,
    the Court of Appeals agreed with the rulings of the RTC in regard to six (6) of the
    eight (8) death sentences imposed on appellant.

    ISSUE:

    Whether or not the enactment of RA 9346 will determine the penalty in this
    case.

    RULING:

    Yes, we close by returning to the matter of appellant Alfredo Bon. By reason


    of Rep. Act No. 9346, he is spared the death sentence, and entitled to the
    corresponding reduction of his
    Penalty as a consequence of the downgrading of his offense from two (2) counts
    consummated rape to two (2) counts of attempted rape. For the six (6) counts of rape,
    we downgrade the penalty of death to reclusion perpetual with no eligibility for
    parole, pursuant to Rep. Act No. 9346. For each of the two (2) counts of attempted
    rape, we downgrade by one degree lower the penalty imposed by the Court of
    Appeals. We hold that there being no mitigating or aggravating circumstances, the
    penalty of prison mayor should be imposed in it medium period. Consequently, we
    impose the new penalty of two (2) years, four (4) months and one (1)day of prison
    correctional as minimum, to eight (8) years and one (1) day of prison mayor as
    maximum.

    WHEREFORE, in light of the foregoing, the Decision of the Court of Appeals is


    hereby AFFIRMED WITHMODIFICATION. The Court sentences appellant
    Alfredo J.Bon to the penalty of reclusion perpetua with no possibility of parole for
    each of the six (6) counts of consummated rape committed against AAA in Criminal
    Case Nos. 6699, 6902,and against BBB in Criminal Case Nos. 6689, 6903, 6905,and
    6907. Appellant is further ORDERED to indemnify AAA and BBB for the crime of
    consummated rape, in the amounts of P50,000.00 as civil indemnity, P50,000.00 as
    moral damages and P25,000.00 as exemplary damages for each of them.
