	GR No. 168651 2011-03-16	PEOPLE v. EDITH RAMOS ABAT BERSAMIN, J.
Nor should we pay heed to the contention of the accused that the version of the State weakened because only four out of the nine named complainants had actually testified in court against her. That contention ignores that in judicial adjudications, courts do not count but weigh witnesses; thus, quality of witnesses, not their quantity, is considered. [13]
	GR No. 180925 2008-08-20	PEOPLE v. JAIME DEL CASTILLO TINGA, J,
Moreover, the trial court noted that the inconsistencies adverted to by appellant were "not that substantial which would lead to discredit her testimony."[23] AAA's apparent conflicting testimonies with respect to the order of injuries inflicted on her, as well as the time she claimed she told a friend about her plight are not material to the identification of appellant as the perpetrator. The failure of a witness to recall each and every detail of an occurrence may even serve to strengthen rather than weaken his or her credibility because it erases any suspicion of a coached or rehearsed testimony.[24]
	GR NO. 160858 2006-02-28	ROLITO RABANAL v. PEOPLE TINGA, J.
Corroborative evidence may be resorted to when there are reasons to warrant the suspicion that the witness falsified the truth or that his observations had been inaccurate.[27]
