412 Phil. 37
QUISUMBING, J.:
"The error in the statement of the amount of civil indemnity is quite obviously caused by the inadvertent addition of the three checks issued by petitioner which were the subject of another case where he had long ago been acquitted. This acquittal is duly noted by this Honorable Court in footnote 5 of page 3 of its Decision. The error, though the product of inadvertence, is error nonetheless. And it must be corrected, with all due respect." (Motion for Reconsideration, p. 2.)
"WHEREFORE, the petition is DENIED. Petitioner Luis S. Wong is found liable for violation of Batas Pambansa Blg. 22 but the penalty imposed on him is hereby MODIFIED so that the sentence of imprisonment is deleted. Petitioner is ORDERED to pay a FINE of (1) P6,750.00, equivalent to double the amount of the check involved in Criminal Case No. CBU-12057, (2) P12,820.00, equivalent to double the amount of the check involved in Criminal Case No. CBU-12058, and (3) P11,000.00, equivalent to double the amount of the check involved in Criminal Case No. CBU-12055, with subsidiary imprisonment in case of insolvency to pay the aforesaid fines. Finally, as civil indemnity, petitioner is also ordered to pay to LPI the face value of said checks totaling P15,285.00 with legal interest thereon from the time of filing the criminal charges in court, as well as to pay the costs."
