REYES, R.T., J.
The contention is untenable.  The emphasis, gesture and inflection of the voice are potent aids in understanding the testimony of witnesses.  The trial court has the opportunity and is presumed to take advantage of these aids in weighing the testimony of the witnesses.  But as they cannot be incorporated into the record, this Court has no assistance in the examination of the testimony and must, therefore, rely upon the good judgment of the trial court.[55]  Thus, in the absence of any showing  that  the trial  court's  calibration of  credibility was flawed, We are bound by its assessment.[56]
