JUSTICE PERALTA:

   In criminal cases, the grant of demurrer is tantamount to an acquittal and the dismissal order may not be appealed because this would place the accused in double jeopardy. Although the dismissal order is not subject to appeal, it is still reviewable but only through certiorari under Rule 65 of the Rules of Court. (PEOPLE vs. ATIENZA, 2012, PERALTA, J.).
