Another error of the CA that requires correction as a matter of course is the imposition of the fine of P15,000.00, increasing even the P10,000.00 set by the RTC as fine. The imposition of the fine by the lower courts had no legal basis because the law nowhere imposes it.[22] Nullum poenum sine lege.[23] Considering that neither Article 336 of the Revised Penal Code nor Section 5 of Republic Act No. 7610, the laws governing this case, prescribes any fine, the imposition thereof is deleted. Lastly, although there has been no issue raised as to the civil indemnity, moral and exemplary damages, we prescribe interest of 6% per annum on them reckoned from the finality of this decision until full payment. WHEREFORE, the Court AFFIRMS the decision promulgated on May 8, 2012 subject to the MODIFICATIONS that: (1) the petitioner shall suffer the indeterminate penalty of 12 years and one day of reclusion temporal in its minimum period, as the minimum, to 15 years, six months and 21 days of reclusion temporal in its medium period, as the maximum; (2) the fine of P15,000.00 is deleted; and (3) the petitioner shall pay interest of 6% per annum on the civil indemnity, moral and exemplary damages reckoned from the finality of this decision until full payment. Costs of suit to be paid by the petitioner. SO ORDERED. Velasco, Jr., (Chairperson), Peralta,[*] Reyes and Tijam, JJ., concur.
