R is charged under the hypothetical Forest Denudation and Timber Laundering Act (FD-TLA), which punishes illegal logging and the transport and concealment of timber taken from protected forests but does not define conspiracy or accomplice liability. A financed the operation and arranged shell companies to move and conceal the timber, but did not touch the timber. (a) Under Article 10 of the Revised Penal Code, is the RPC applicable as the suppletory rule to determine A’s liability as an accomplice? (b) What elements must be proven to convict an accomplice under the RPC? (c) Apply to the facts: can A be convicted as an accomplice? If yes, what penalty attaches under the FD-TLA? If not, explain why.

Yes; RPC applies; A can be convicted; but the FD-TLA does not allow any penalty for accomplices, so only the principal’s penalty applies to A. Yes; RPC applies; but financing alone does not constitute aiding; the offense requires actual removal or transport of timber, so A cannot be convicted. No; FD-TLA provides its own comprehensive liability framework and RPC cannot supplement the FD-TLA with accomplice liability. Yes; RPC applies as suppletory; elements: (1) the principal committed the illegal logging; (2) the accused aided by financing and arranging shell companies; (3) knowledge of the criminal purpose; (4) intent to facilitate; (5) the aiding contributed to the commission; Penalty under the FD-TLA is the same as the principal’s penalty for illegal logging.
