SADANG, J.:


For Our consideration is accused-appellant Bernardino Cruz y Basco’s Motion for Reconsideration[1] and Supplemental Motion for Reconsideration[2] of our Decision dated June 23, 2014, affirming the assailed Decision dated July 12, 2012 of the Regional Trial Court of Manila, Branch 5 in Criminal Case No. 08-263728.

On November 14, 2014, plaintiff-appellee People of the Philippines submitted its Comment[3] thereto.

After carefully reviewing the arguments raised in the motions, We found the same to be mere reiteration of matters previously considered and found to be without merit in the Decision subject of this recourse. We thus see no compelling reason to modify, reverse, or set aside Our previous Decision.

WHEREFORE, the instant Motion for Reconsideration and Supplemental Motion for Reconsideration are hereby DENIED, for lack of merit.

SO ORDERED.
