Yes, the contention of A is correct.

The information failed to allege that the undue injury to B and the
government was caused by the accused's manifest partiality, evident bad faith, or gross

.Inexcusable negligence, which are necessary elements of the offense charged, ie., violation of Section
3(e) of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act. The accused is employed in the Office of the District
Engineer of the DPWH which has nothing to do with the determination and fixing of the price of the land
expropriated, and for which expropriated land the Government is legally obligated to pay. There is no
allegation in the information that the land was overpriced or that the payment of the amount was
disadvantageous to the Government. It appears that the charge was solely based on the accused having
followed up the payment for B's land which the Government has already appropriated, and that the
accused eventually withheld for himself from the price of the said land, the amount of P4,000 for his
services. No violation of Section 3(e) of the AntiGraft and Corrupt Act appears. At most, the accused
should be merely charged administratively

ANSWER: No, the motion to quash is not meritorious. It is not necessary that movant's maltreatment of
a child be "habitual" to constitute child abuse. The wrongful acts penalized as "Child Abuse" under Rep.
Act No. 7610 refers to the maltreatment of the child, "whether habitual or not": this is expressly stated
in Sec. 2(b) of the said Law. Mrs. MNA should be liable for child abuse.

the following crimes defined under RA. 9165: a) Sec. 27 for misappropriation or failure to account for
the confiscated or seized dangerous drugs. b) Sec. 4 in relation to Sec. 3(ee) for their acts as

(2000) At about 9 o'clock in the morning, a Narcom Group laid a plan to entrap and apprehend A, a long
suspected drug dealer, through a "buy-bust" operation. At the appointed time, the poseur-buyer
approached A who was then with B. A marked P100 bill was handed over to A who in turn, gave the
poseur-buyer one (1) tea bag of marijuana leaves. The members of the team, who were then positioned
behind thick leaves, closed in but evidently were not swift enough since A and B were able to run away.
Two days later, A was arrested in connection with another incident. It appears that during the
operations, the police officers were not able to seize the marked money but were able to get possession
of the marijuana tea bag. A was subsequently prosecuted for violation of Section 4, Article .
3Yes, the complaint will prosper under Sec. 7 of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act (Rep. Act No.
3019, as amended], which requires all public officers within 30 days from assuming public office to file a

CC and DD that she could send them to London to work there as sales ladies and waitresses. She
collected and received from them various amounts of money for recruitment and placement fees

suspicious and went to POEA (Phil. Overseas Employment Authority). There they found out that RR was
not authorized nor licensed to recruit workers for employment abroad.
