Felipe

Felipe, Julio, Roldan, and Lucio conspired to abduct Mildred and commit multiple rapes while threatening her life with a gun. Each is guilty of multiple counts of rape, as they cooperated in the crime, with Lucio playing a crucial role by driving the vehicle and providing support. The ruling aligns with legal precedents that classify all four as principals in the crime, responsible for both their actions and those of their accomplices.

Felipe, Julio, Roldan and Lucio conspired to abduct Mildred and commit multiple counts of rape while

threatening the victims life with the use of a gun. The crime committed is multiple crimes of rape which
Felipe, Julio, Roldan and Lucio would each respectively be liable for, forcible abduction and grave threats
would be absorbed since it was the means by which to commit rape.

This is in accord with the ruling People v. Villa, et al. 81 Phil. 193 and People v. Alfaro, et al the doctrine
of which may be summed up as follows: Where the several accused, conspiring with each other, take
turns in having carnal knowledge of the offended party against her will while the others held down her
arms and legs, each of the accused is guilty of as many crimes of rape as there are accused. Each
accused is responsible not only for the act of rape committed personally by him but also for the acts of
rape committed by the others, because each of them cooperated in the consummation of the rape
successively committed by the others, by acts without which such rape could not have been
accomplished. They are at once, in other words, each a principal by direct participation in respect of
their own act and a principal by indispensable cooperation 22 in respect of the acts of the others; they
are not merely accomplices 23 of each other.

All four of them are principals for the crime. The three took turns directly participating in the act while
the Lucio, though he did not directly participate, is an indispensable cooperative to the crime since he
was the one who drove the vehicle to the destination where the victim was detained and provided food
and information on the actions that were taken to locate Mildred for the duration of the time the victim
was abducted.

This is in accord with Article 17 of the Revised Penal Code which classify principals as; Those who take a
direct part in the execution of the act; those who directly force or induce others to commit it or; those
who cooperate in the commission of the offense by another act without which it would not have been
accomplished.
