“[U]nder
Section 6, the Information is sufficient if it contains the full name of the
accused, the designation of the offense given by the statute, the acts or
omissions constituting the offense, the name of the offended party, the
approximate date, and the place of the offense.” The
rule is that qualifying circumstances
must be properly pleaded in the Information in order not to violate the
accused’s constitutional right to be properly informed of the nature and cause
of the accusation against him. However, accused never claimed that he was
deprived of his right to be fully apprised of the nature of the charges against
him due to the insufficiency of the Information.Also an Information which lacks
essential allegations may still sustain a conviction when the accused fails to
object to its sufficiency during the trial, and the deficiency was cured by
competent evidence presented therein.”
