Secondly, the testimonies of the police officers have adequately established with moral certainty the commission of the crime charged in the information and the identity of Ambre as the perpetrator. At this juncture, the Court affirms the RTC's finding that the police officers' testimonies deserve full faith and credit. Appellate courts, generally, will not disturb the trial court's assessment of a witness' credibility unless certain material facts and circumstances have been overlooked or arbitrarily disregarded.[23] The Court finds no reason to deviate from this rule in this case.
	GR No. 180452 2011-01-10	PEOPLE v. NG YIK BUN VELASCO JR., J.
As no ill motive can be imputed to the prosecution's witnesses, we uphold the presumption of regularity in the performance of official duties and affirm the trial court's finding that the police officers' testimonies are deserving of full faith and credit. Appellate courts generally will not disturb the trial court's assessment of a witness' credibility unless certain material facts and circumstances have been overlooked or arbitrarily disregarded. [14] We find no reason to deviate from this rule in the instant case.
	GR No. 176157 2009-06-18	PEOPLE v. ELPIDIO IMPAS Y POLBERA QUISUMBING, J.
Incestuous rape is not an ordinary crime that can be easily fabricated or manufactured. The very parties involved in it, let alone the psychological toll, social scandal and humiliation it is likely to generate, are already deterrent factors against its concoction. The victim, the perpetrator, nay, the entire family must deal with a crisis that goes to the very core of familial integrity. In fine, the Court has every reason to believe that in going to court, [the victim] is simply seeking justice for the bestial acts done to her even if the ax has to fall against her very own father.[19]
	GR No. 182057 2009-02-06	PEOPLE v. RESTITUTO C. VALENZUELA BRION, J.
Finally, exemplary damages in the sum of P25,000.00 are likewise imposed on the appellant by way of example to deter other fathers with perverse tendencies and aberrant sexual behavior from preying upon and sexually abusing their daughters.[38]
	GR No. 177572 2008-02-26	PEOPLE v. JUANITO DELA CRUZ Y RIVERA CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
In determining the guilt or innocence of the accused in cases of rape, the victim's testimony is crucial in view of the intrinsic nature of the crime in which only two persons are normally involved. The accused may be convicted on the basis of the victim's lone and uncorroborated testimony provided it is clear, positive, convincing, and consistent with human nature.[23]
