    The document discusses the elements of treachery under Philippine law. It states that treachery is present when a crime is committed against a person using methods that directly ensure the execution of the offense without risk to the offender from any defense the victim might make. There are two conditions for treachery: 1) using means of execution that give the victim no opportunity to defend themselves or retaliate, and 2) deliberately adopting those means of execution. The essence of treachery is a sudden and unexpected attack on an unsuspecting victim that deprives them of any chance to defend themselves, thereby ensuring the crime is committed without risk to the offender.

    PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES, appellee, vs. ADONES


    ABATAYO, appellant.

    there is treachery when the offender commits any of the crimes against persons, employing
    means, methods or forms in the execution thereof which tend directly and specially to insure its
    execution, without risk to himself arising from the defense which the offended party might make.
    [53]
    It requires the concurrence of two conditions: 1) employment of means of execution that gives
    the person attacked no opportunity to defend himself, much less to retaliate; and, 2) deliberate
    or conscious adoption of the means of execution.[54] The essence of treachery is the sudden and
    unexpected attack by an aggressor on an unsuspecting victim, depriving the latter of any real
    chance to defend himself and thereby ensuring its commission without risk to himself.[55]
