	GR No. 211002 2015-01-21	RICHARD RICALDE v. PEOPLE LEONEN, J.
This court has also held that "[l]eeway should be given to witnesses who are minors, especially when they are relating past incidents of abuse."[81]
	GR No. 211002 2015-01-21	RICHARD RICALDE v. PEOPLE LEONEN, J.
This court has stated that "jurisprudence from 2001 up to the present yields the information that the prevailing amount awarded as civil indemnity to victims of simple rape committed by means other than penile insertion is P30,000."[109]
	GR No. 192232 2014-12-10	PEOPLE v. JOSE ESTALIN PRODENCIADO DEL CASTILLO, J.
It is understandable that "AAA" has no clear memory on when the alleged rapes were committed as she was still a minor when the incidents occurred and when she took the witness stand to testify against her father. Yet, despite her age, and as the Court likewise found in the similar case of People v. Dominguez,[22] she was "able to narrate the incidents, albeit not exactly with the same coherence as a fully capacitated adult witness would."[23] Thus, just as in the said case, "[l]eeway should be given to witnesses who are minors, especially when they are relating past incidents of abuse."[24]
