ALLAN DIZON Y AQUI v. PEOPLE

This case has been cited 3 times or more.

	GR No. 207633 2015-12-09	PEOPLE v. JOHNLIE LAGANGGA Y DUMPA DEL CASTILLO, J.
"Since the crime of rape is essentially one committed in relative isolation or even secrecy, it is usually only the victim who can testify with regard to the fact of the forced coitus. In its prosecution, therefore, the credibility of the victim is almost always the single and most important issue to deal with."[8] "If the testimony of the victim is credible, convincing and consistent with human nature and the normal course of things, the accused may be convicted solely on the basis thereof."[9]
	GR No. 179059 2012-06-13	FIRST DIVISION VICTOR RONDINA v. PEOPLE DEL CASTILLO, J.
"Motives such as family feuds, resentment, hatred or revenge have never swayed this Court from giving full credence to the testimony of a rape victim. Also, ill motives become inconsequential if there is an affirmative and credible declaration from the rape victim, which clearly establishes the liability of the accused. In the present case, "AAA" categorically identified [Victor] as the one who defiled her. Her account of the incident, as found by the RTC, the Court of Appeals, and this Court, was sincere and truthful. Hence, petitioner's x x x flimsy allegation of ill motive is immaterial." [58]
	GR No. 183453 2010-03-09	PEOPLE v. DANILO PACULBA PEREZ, J.
Finally, appellant imputes ill motive on the part of AAA's relatives in filing the present case against him. Motives such as family feuds, resentment, hatred or revenge have never swayed this Court from giving full credence to the testimony of a rape victim. Also, ill motives become inconsequential if there is an affirmative and credible declaration from the rape victim, which clearly establishes the liability of the accused.[40]
