    Esminia Pudol and Alberto Reyes were charged with perjury for Esminia subscribing to a false affidavit with inducement from Alberto. The court held that while subornation of perjury is not expressly mentioned in the penal code, inducing another to commit perjury is still a crime. The court also held that Alberto was guilty as both a suborner for inducing Esminia and as a principal for participating in the creation of the false affidavit. The lower court's order was reversed.

    THE PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES vs. ESMINIA PUDOL Concepcion (Pedro), J.

    : Facts: An information had been filed in the Court of First Instance of Ilocos Sur charging Esminia Pudol and Alberto Reyes with having committed the crime of perjury, the former by subscribing a false affidavit by induction and with the further cooperation of the latter. Issue: Whether or not the accused is guilty of subordination of perjury. Held: Yes, the fact that subornation of perjury is not expressly penalized in the Revised Penal Code does not mean that the direct induction of a person by another to commit perjury has ceased to be a crime, because said crime is fully within the scope of that defined in article 17, subsection 2, of the Revised Penal Code. Furthermore, Alberto Reyes, as already stated, is charged in the present case not only as subowner of the perjury committed by his coaccused but also as principal by cooperation and participation in the preparation of the false affidavit subscribed by Esminia Pudol. The order appealed is reversed.
