FLIGHT OF AN ACCUSED:

    Unlike flight of an accused, which is competent evidence against the accused as having a tendency to establish the accused's guilt, non-flight is simply inaction, which may be due to several factors. It cannot be singularly considered as evidence or as a manifestation determinative of innocence. (People of the Philippines vs. Johbert Amodia Y Baba, G.R. No. 177356, November 20, 2008, Brion, J.).
