	GR NO. 172226 2007-03-23	PEOPLE v. HERMINIGILDO SENIERES TINGA, J.
crime of rape by sexual assault are excessive and should be reduced. In line with prevailing jurisprudence, AAA is entitled to an award of P25,000.00 civil indemnity and P25,000.00 moral damages for being a victim of rape by sexual assault.[55]
	GR NO. 175946 2007-03-23	PEOPLE v. RAYMUNDO DADULLA YNARES-SANTIAGO, J.
We are likewise not persuaded by appellant's attempt to discredit the credibility of AAA regarding the date when the rape incident occurred. He ascribes error on AAA's testimony that she was raped on May 22, 1995 which he claims was contradicted by Chairman CCC's declaration that she reported the incident on May 21, 1995. This is only a minor inconsistency which does not belie the commission of rape by appellant. The exact date of the commission of the offense of rape is not an element of the crime[24] for the gravamen of the offense is the carnal knowledge of a woman against her will.
