9/9/2020 PHILIPPINE REPORTS ANNOTATED VOLUME 097

[No. L-8002. November 23, 1955]

SERVILLANO DIZON, petitioner, vs. THE PEOPLE OF

THE PHILIPPINES, ET AL., respondents.

Review on certiorari of the Court of Appeals' decision

affirming the verdict of the Laguna court of first
instance that sentenced Servillano Dizon, for double
homicide thru reckless imprudence, to be imprisoned not
less than six (6) months nor more than one year and
eight months with the accessories, and to pay indemnity.
The term of imprisonment given to herein defendant is
actually within the range fixed by the Revised Vehicle
Law, which is fifteen days to six years. While the Vehicle
Law does not provide for other additional penalty—civil
indemnity or subsidiary imprisonment—this Court has
heretofore decided that Art. 100 and Art. 39 of the
Revised Penal Code are applicable to these offenses as
supplementary provisions, the Revised Penal Code
having provided in its article 10 that it shall be
supplementary to other special laws punishing other
offenses, unless the latter should specially provide the
contrary. (Copiaoco vs. Luzon Brokerage, 66 Phil. 184;
People vs. Moreno, 60 Phil. 718).
Decision affirmed.
