04 People Vs Terrado

This case involved appeals from orders of the Court of First Instance of Camarines Sur regarding criminal cases against several individuals for perjury committed in filing applications for free land patents. The Supreme Court ruled that the prescriptive period for the offense of perjury committed in filing such applications is 10 years as provided under the Revised Penal Code, rather than the shorter period under the specific law governing land patents. The Court affirmed the lower court orders, applying the 10-year prescriptive period to the cases.
