1) Asilo vs. People

This case involves criminal charges of Graft and Corrupt Practices filed against a Mayor and another individual. The Mayor passed away during the legal proceedings. The court ruled that while the Mayor's criminal liability was extinguished by his death, civil liability could still be pursued based on other potential sources of obligation under the law besides wrongdoing, including contracts, quasi-contracts, and acts punished by law. For any civil claims to proceed, a separate civil action would need to be filed.

ASILO Jr. vs.

PEOPLE

FACTS: This is a case about Graft and Corrupt Practices Act filed against Mayor Comendador
and Paulino Asilo. Mayor Comendador died during the pendency of the case.

ISSUE: Whether the death of Mayor Comendador extinguished all his liabilities.

RULING: The death of Mayor Comendador esxtinguished his criminal liabilities but the claim
for civil liability survives notwithstanding the death of the accused, if the same may also be
predicated on a source of obligation other than delict.

Art. 1157 enumerates there other sources of obligation from which the civil liability may arise as
a result of the same act or omission:

a. Law
b. B. contracts
c. Quasi-contracts
d. Acts and omissions punished bt law
e. quasi-delicts

Where the civil liability survives, an action for recovery therefore may be pursued but only by
way of filing a separate civil action and subject to sec. 1, Rule 111.
