IS THE PROSECUTOR REQUIRED TO BE PHYSICALLY PRESENT IN THE TRIAL OF A CRIMINAL CASE?

> If  he  is  not  physically  present,  it  cannot  be  said  that  the prosecution was under his supervision and control—as held in the case of People v. Beriales
> People  v.  Malinao  and  Bravo  v.  CA—proceedings  are  valid  even without the physical presence of the fiscal who left the prosecution to the private prosecutor under his supervision and control
