FIRST DIVISION
[G.R. No. 215567. March 9, 2015.]
RUSSEL MALPICA MANCE, petitioner, vs. PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES, respondent.
NOTICE
Sirs/Mesdames :
Please take notice that the Court, First Division, issued a Resolution dated March 9, 2015 which reads as follows:
"G.R. No. 215567 (Russel Malpica Mance v. People of the Philippines). — The petitioner's motion for an extension of thirty (30) days within which to file a petition for review on certiorari is GRANTED, counted from the expiration of the reglementary period.
After a judicious perusal of the records, the Court resolves to DENY the instant petition and AFFIRM the June 27, 2014 Decision 1 and November 19, 2014 Resolution 2 of the Court of Appeals (CA) in CA-G.R. CR No. 33931 for failure of Russel Malpica Mance (petitioner) to sufficiently show that the CA committed any reversible error in upholding his conviction for the crime of Robbery under Article 293 of the Revised Penal Code, sentencing him and his co-accused Cristobal Daniel Adana (Adana) to suffer the indeterminate penalty of four (4) months and one (1) day of arresto mayor, as minimum, to six (6) years, one (1) month, and eleven (11) days of prision mayor, as maximum, and ordering them to return the stolen amount of P500.00, as well as to pay moral damages of P20,000.00. 3aHcACT
As the CA correctly pointed out, petitioner acted in conspiracy with his co-accused Adana, considering that: (a) he stood as a lookout; (b) he was the one to whom the money taken from the victim was given; and (c) he, together with Adana, provided the get-away vehicle through which all of them escaped. Verily, to be a conspirator, one need not participate in every detail of the execution; he need not even take part in every act. Each conspirator may be assigned separate and different tasks which may appear unrelated to one another but, in fact, constitute a whole collective effort to achieve a common criminal objective. Once conspiracy is shown, the act of one is the act of all the conspirators. The precise extent or modality of participation of each of them becomes secondary, since all the conspirators are principals, 4 as petitioner in this case.
SO ORDERED."
Very truly yours,
(SGD.) LIBRADA C. BUENADeputy Division Clerk of Court
