On March 3, 2025, D swindles Bea by telling her: "If you pay Php 60,000 now, you will receive a certificate of investment and promised returns within 20 days." Bea pays; the certificate is never delivered. On March 7, 2025, D tells Carl: "If you pay Php 40,000 now, you will receive the investment instrument and returns within 15 days." Carl pays; nothing is delivered. For purposes of Rule 110 (Date of Commission of the Offense): (a) state the date of commission for Bea's estafa by deceit; (b) state the date of commission for Carl's estafa by deceit; (c) explain whether these are two separate offenses or a single continuing offense, and justify your answer with the controlling doctrine.
