QUISUMBING, J.
Findings of facts of the trial court, its calibration of the testimonies of witnesses, its assessment of their credibility and the probative weight of their testimonies, as well as its conclusions anchored on the said findings, are accorded by the appellate court high respect if not conclusive effect, unless the trial court ignored, misunderstood, or misconstrued facts and circumstances of substance which, if considered, would warrant a reversal of the outcome of the case.[37]

CALLEJO, SR., J.
Sufficient evidence was given by Mrs. Florencia Galang, the victim's mother, to prove that she suffered sleepless nights, anxiety, moral shock and wounded feelings. Hence, the award for moral damages is proper. However, the trial court's award of P60,000 is excessive, and should be reduced to P50,000.[86]
