PROVISIONS:
Art. 2206 provides for the payment of indemnity for
death caused by a crime or quasi-delict. Initially fixed
in said article of the Civil Code at P3,000.00, the
amount of the indemnity has through the years been
gradually increased based on the value of the peso. At
present, it is fixed at P50,000.00.
Art. 2199 provides that except as provided by law or
by stipulation, one is entitled to an adequate
compensation only for such pecuniary loss suffered
by him as he has duly proved. The spouses Rosales
are claiming actual damages in the amount of
P239,245.40. However, during the trial, they
submitted receipts showing that expenses for the
funeral, wake, and interment of Liza Rosalie
amounted only to P60,226.65
