DECISION
REYES, J.:
Before this Court is a petition for review on certiorari1

under Rule 45 of the Rules of Court seeking to annul and
set aside the Decision2 dated November 18, 2013 and
Resolution3 dated February 13, 2014 of the Court of

Appeals (CA) in CA-G.R. CV. No. 93269. In both
instances, the CA affirmed the Decision4 dated March 16,

2009 of the Regional Trial Court (RTC) of Makati City,
Branch 136, in Civil Case No. 01-1506, ordering
petitioner Sun Life of Canada (Philippines), Inc. (Sun
Life) to pay Ma. Daisy S. Sibya (Ma. Daisy), Jesus
Manuel S. Sibya III, and Jaime Luis S. Sibya
(respondents) the amounts of P1,000,000.00 as death
benefits, P100,000.00 as moral damages, P100,000.00
as exemplary damages, and P100,000.00 as attorney's
fees and costs of suit. Insofar as the charges for
violation of Sections 241 and 242 of Presidential Decree
No. 612, or the Insurance Code of the Philippines,
however, the CA modified the decision of the RTC and
absolved Sun Life therein.
Statement of Facts of the Case
On January 10, 2001, Atty. Jesus Sibya, Jr. (Atty. Jesus

Jr.) applied for life insurance with Sun Life. In his
Application for Insurance, he indicated that he had
sought advice for kidney problems.5 Atty. Jesus Jr.

indicated the following in his application:
chanRoblesvirtualLawlibrary
"Last 1987, had undergone lithotripsy due to

kidney stone under Dr. Jesus Benjamin
Mendoza at National Kidney Institute,
discharged after 3 days, no recurrence as
claimed."6ChanRoblesVirtualawlibrary
On February 5, 2001, Sun Life approved Atty. Jesus Jr.'s

application and issued Insurance Policy No. 031097335.
The policy indicated the respondents as beneficiaries and
entitles them to a death benefit of P1,000,000.00 should
Atty. Jesus Jr. dies on or before February 5, 2021, or a
sum of money if Atty. Jesus Jr. is still living on the
endowment date.7
On May 11, 2001, Atty. Jesus Jr. died as a result of a

gunshot wound in San Joaquin, Iloilo. As such, Ma. Daisy
filed a Claimant's Statement with Sun Life to seek the
death benefits indicated in his insurance policy.8

In a letter dated August 27, 2001, however, Sun Life
denied the claim on the ground that the details on Atty.

Jesus Jr.'s medical history were not disclosed in his
application. Simultaneously, Sun Life tendered a check
representing the refund of the premiums paid by Atty.
Jesus Jr.9
The respondents reiterated their claim against Sun Life

thru a letter dated September 17, 2001. Sun Life,
however, refused to heed the respondents' requests and
instead filed a Complaint for Rescission before the RTC
and prayed for judicial confirmation of Atty. Jesus Jr.'s
rescission of insurance policy.10
In its Complaint, Sun Life alleged that Atty. Jesus Jr. did
not disclose in his insurance application his previous
medical treatment at the National Kidney Transplant
Institute in May and August of 1994. According to Sun
Life, the undisclosed fact suggested that the insured was
in "renal failure" and at a high risk medical condition.
Consequently, had it known such fact, it would not have
issued the insurance policy in favor of Atty. Jesus Jr.11
For their defense, the respondents claimed that Atty.

Jesus Jr. did not commit misrepresentation in his
application for insurance. They averred that Atty. Jesus
Jr. was in good faith when he signed the insurance
application and even authorized Sun Life to inquire
further into his medical history for verification purposes.
According to them, the complaint is just a ploy to avoid
the payment of insurance claims.12
Ruling of the RTC
On March 16, 2009, the RTC issued its Decision13

dismissing the complaint for lack of merit. The RTC held
that Sun Life violated Sections 241, paragraph 1(b), (d),
and (e)14 and 24215 of the Insurance Code when it

refused to pay the rightful claim of the respondents.
Moreover, the RTC ordered Sun Life to pay the amounts

of P1,000,000.00 as death benefits, P100,000.00 as
moral damages, P100,000.00 as exemplary damages,
and P100,000.00 as attorney's fees and costs of suit.
The RTC held that Atty. Jesus Jr. did not commit material
concealment and misrepresentation when he applied for
life insurance with Sun Life. It observed that given the
disclosures and the waiver and authorization to
June-2016 investigate executed by Atty. Jesus Jr. to Sun Life, the
Jurisprudence latter had all the means of ascertaining the facts
allegedly concealed by the applicant.16
G.R. No. 175085, Aggrieved, Sun Life elevated the case to the CA.
