authority
The intimidation or resistance must be
serious whether the offended party is an
agent only or he is a person in authority
The resist must be grave, therefore it must
be active resistance
Intimidation must produce its effects
immediately
To determine whether a certain public officer
is a person in authority, the powers and
duties vested in him by law should be
determined
The status of person in authority being a
matter of law, ignorance thereof is no excuse
Functions of the person in authority or his
agent must be clearly shown in the
information
When a person in authority or their agents
descended to mattes which are private in
nature, an attack made by one against the
other is not direct assault
Even if the agent of a person in authority
agrees to fight, it still constitutes direct
assault
If a person in authority or his agent goes
beyond the scope of the respective powers
of public officers, if they are fixed, then they
are considered NOT in the performance of
official duties
Knowledge of the accused that the victim is
a person in authority or his agent is essential
Defendant must have the intention to defy
the authorities
If is not necessary that the person in
authority who was assaulted was ACTUALLLY
performing official duties
Evidence of motive is important when the
person attacked or seriously intimidated is
NOT in the actual performance of his official
duty
Where in the commission of direct assault,
serious or less serious physical injuries are
also inflicted, the offender is guilty of the

Article 184 applies when the offender does
not induce a witness to testify falsely
Crime is consummated by mere solicitation
Other artifice includes the use of trickery
An attempt to cause prospective bidders to
stay away from an auction by means of
threats, gifts, etc, with the intent that the
thing auctioned should command a lesser
price, is sufficient to constitute an offense
The threat need not be effective nor the
offer or gift accepted for the crime to arise
Reason for the Provision: execution sales
should be opened to free and full
competition in order to secure the maximum
benefit for the debtors

No attempted or

Third Element:
1. The act which the public officer agrees to
perform must be connected with the
performance of official duties
2. It is not bribery if the act is in discharge of a
mere moral duty
3. The fact that the act agreed to be performed
is in excess of his power, jurisdiction, or
authority is no defense, EXCEPT: if act is so
foreign to duties of office as to lack even
color of authority
4. In bribery, the gift or present must be given
to the public officer to corrupt him
1. The gift is usually given to the public officer
in anticipation of future favor from the public
officer
2. There must be a clear intention on the part
of the public officer to take the gift so
offered and consider the same as his own
property
3. Mere physical receipt unaccompanied by any
other sign, circumstance or act to show such
acceptance is NOT sufficient to lead the court
to conclude that the crime of indirect bribery
has been committed
4. People vs. Pamplona (pg. 361) considered
indirect bribery even if there was a sort of
agreement between public officer and giver;
reason: the act executed by the accused
was NOT unjust, therefore it cannot be direct
bribery

abduction.
The taking away of the girl need not be with
some character of permanency
Abductor need not actually and personally
have taken the abducted female from her
parents home, or induced her to abandon it;
it is sufficient that he was instrumental in
her escape
When there was no solicitation of cajolery
and no deceit and the girl voluntarily went
with man, there is no crime committed even
if they had sexual intercourse
Actual sexual intercourse is not necessary,
since the important element is merely lewd
designs
The court motu proprio can dismiss the case
for failure of the aggrieved party to file the
proper complaint
