    Anthony Manguera was accused of raping and killing 16-year old Lorna Reanzares in 1996 when he was 15 years old. He was identified by the victim to her brother as her attacker before she died. At trial, Manguera argued that his minority at the time of the crime should be considered a mitigating circumstance to reduce the penalty. The court held that because Manguera was only 15 based on his birth certificate, the maximum penalty that could be imposed under the law was reclusion perpetua instead of death. It modified the trial court's decision accordingly.

    PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES, plaintiff-appellee,
    vs.
    ANTHONY MANGUERA Y ALINGASTRE, accused-appellant.

    FACTS:

    That on or about the 25th day of February 1996, at about 6:30 oclock in the evening, at
    Barangay San Miguel, Municipality of Santo Tomas, Province of Batangas, Philippines, and
    within the jurisdiction of this Honorable Court, the above-named accused, by means of force
    and intimidation, did then and there willfully, unlawfully and feloniously have carnal knowledge
    of one Lorna Reanzares y Javier against her will and consent and by reason or on the occasion
    of the said rape, accused, armed with a bladed instrument, with intent to kill, willfully, unlawfully
    and feloniously stabbed the said Lorna Reanzares y Javier with the said instrument, thereby
    inflicting upon the latter stab wounds on the different parts of herbody which directly caused her
    death.

    The author of the rape and the multiple stab wounds sustained by Lorna Reanzares was
    identified by her to her brother, to be a person nicknamed Nognog. Nognog, according to her,
    was Anthony Manguera, the son of Tonio from the East with a tricycle. At the time of the
    commission of the crime, Anthony Manguera was 15 years old, while the victim, Lorna
    Reanzares was 16 years of age.

    ISSUE:
    Whether or not, the accused being 18 years of age at the time of the commission of the crime
    could treat his minority as a privileged mitigating circumstance and would reduce the imposable
    penalty by one degree.


    HELD:
    Anthony Manguera was only fifteen (15) years old at the time of the commission of the crime as
    so evidenced by his Certificate of Live Birth (Exhibit 5). Thus, pursuant to the provisions of
    Article 47, as amended, and consonantly with Article 68 of the Revised Penal Code, the penalty
    that can only be imposed on appellant for the crime of rape with homicide is reclusion perpetua.
    Whereof the decision of the Regional Trial Court finding the accused, guilty beyond reasonable
    doubt of the crime of rape with homicide in that (a) the death penalty imposed by the trial court
    is commuted to reclusion perpetua and (b) the judgment on the civil liability is modified .
