PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES, PLAINTIFF-APPELLEE, VS. MUSTAPHA DEMAO Y CANTON, RUDY ELNAS Y PAHUNANG, AND ARIENSIMAR LUNA Y BARDILLES, ACCUSED-APPELLANTS.
BORJA, J.,:
This resolves accused-appellants’ Motion for Reconsideration[1] of this Court’s Decision[2] dated August 27, 2013 which affirmed with modification the judgment of the court a quo.
Movants assail this court’s decision on two grounds: a) the testimony of the main witness for the prosecution was fabricated; and b) the evidence seized from the accused was merely planted.[3]
Albeit stated differently, these grounds were the same grounds raised by movants in their appellants’ brief which had been duly considered and passed upon by this Court, specifically on pages 7 through 9 of its decision.[4]
Finding no substantial arguments in the motion to warrant modification or reversal of the August 27, 2013 Decision, this Court DENIES the Motion for Reconsideration.
SO ORDERED.
Badelles and Contreras, JJ., concur.
