The penalty for frustrated murder is one (1) degree lower than that

prescribed by the Penal Code for the consummated offense, hence, the
imposable penalty for frustrated murder should be prision mayor maximum
to reclusion temporal medium. Applying the Indeterminate Sentence Law, and
there being no mitigating nor aggravating circumstance present in the
commission of the offense, the penalty to be imposed for the frustrated
murder shall be taken from the range of prision correccional maximum to
prision mayor medium or four (4) years two (2) months and one (1) day to
ten (10) years as minimum, to the medium period of prision mayor
maximum to reclusion temporal or twelve (12) years five (5) months and
eleven (11) days to fourteen (14) years ten (10) months and twenty (20)
days as maximum. Hence, an indeterminate prison term of eight (8) years
two (2) months and ten (10) days of prision mayor medium as minimum to
fourteen (14) years four (4) months and ten (10) days of reclusion temporal
medium as maximum may be considered reasonable for the frustrated
murder under the facts of this case.
