OBJECTIONS AS TO MATTERS OF FORM OR SUBSTANCE IN THE [I]NFORMATION CANNOT BE MADE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON APPEAL:

     " It is well to note that appellants failed to raise the issue of the defective Information before the trial court through a motion for bill of particulars or a motion to quash the information. Their failure to object to the alleged defect before entering their pleas of not guilty amounted to a waiver of the defect in the Information. "Objections as to matters of form or substance in the [I]nformation cannot be made for the first time on appeal." Records even show that the Information was accordingly amended during trial to rectify this alleged defect but appellants did not comment thereon (PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES, VS. RENANDANG MAMARUNCAS ET AL., G.R. NO. 179497, DEL CASTILLO, J.).
