People v Inggo G.R. No.

140872 June 23, 2003 Facts: On August 15, 1996, afternoon, in the Municipality of Katipunan, Zamboanga del Norte, Inggo and a certain Insic were having an argument over a P50.00 which Inggo was trying to recover. He allegedly bought a bottle of beer from Insic. Later a certain Rosemarie Reinante arrived and volunteered to give Inggos P50.00 back which Inggo refused. Thereafter an argument between Inggo and Rosemarie ensued which led to Inggo chasing and killing Rosemarie. ISSUE: Whether or not there was disregard of sex on the part of Inggo. HELD: The evidence does not show that Inggo deliberately intended to insult or to show manifest disrespect against the sex of Rosemarie. It was only shown that Rosemarie, who merely tried to help, caught the ire of Inggo due to her unexpected meddling in the argument between Ingo and Insic.
