	AM No. CA-04-17-P 2004-11-25	RUPERTO G. JUGUETA v. RICARDO ESTACIO CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
It is settled that denial is inherently a weak defense. To be believed, it must be buttressed by strong evidence of non-culpability; otherwise, such denial is purely self-serving and is with nil evidentiary value.[12] Like the defense of alibi, a denial crumbles in the light of positive declarations.[13]
	GR No. 131823 2001-01-17	PEOPLE v. ISAGANI PARAISO Y HUTALLA PER CURIAM
But, according to appellant, his house was merely about two thousand meters from that of the BBBs. Even by foot, such distance is not impossible to trek in less than an hour. [26] By the eyewitness' account, the victim's unlawful defilement took no more than five minutes and, immediately thereafter, appellant savagely hacked her neck. All these could, therefore, have happened when defense witness Buizon was out gathering bamboo trees. She simply presumed that appellant was asleep all throughout.
