	GR Nos. 124443-46 2002-06-06	PEOPLE v. NIMFA REMULLO QUISUMBING, J.
Appellant's arguments fail to persuade us of her innocence. The defense of denial is intrinsically weak, a self-serving negative evidence that cannot prevail over the testimony of credible witnesses who testified on affirmative matters.[36]
	GR Nos. 133741-42 2001-10-26	PEOPLE v. LINO VILLARUEL QUISUMBING, J.
In sum, no improper motive was shown on the part of the private complainant and her witnesses to show why she allegedly just invented the accusations against appellant. Absent such motive, the testimonies of the victim and other prosecution witnesses deserve full faith and credence.[30]
	GR No. 133025 2000-02-17	PEOPLE v. RADEL GALLARDE DAVIDE JR., C.J.
Besides, no evil motive has been established against the witnesses for the prosecution that might prompt them to incriminate the accused or falsely testify against him. It is settled that when there is no showing that the principal witnesses for the prosecution were actuated by improper motive, the presumption is that the witnesses were not so actuated and their testimonies are thus entitled to full faith and credit.[41] Testimonies of witnesses who have no motive or reason to falsify or perjure their testimonies should be given credence.[42]
