	GR No. 178063 2010-04-05	PEOPLE v. TIRSO SACE Y MONTOYA VILLARAMA, JR., J.
It is axiomatic that a witness who testifies in a categorical, straightforward, spontaneous and frank manner and remains consistent on cross-examination is a credible witness. [19] We see no justification to reverse the RTC's appreciation of the testimony of BBB. Having observed the witness's deportment while testifying, the trial court's assessment of the credibility of BBB deserves our highest respect.

Despite the delay in reporting the identities of the malefactors, Nietes testified in a categorical, straightforward, and spontaneous manner, and remained consistent even under grueling cross-examination. Such bears the marks of a credible witness.[15]
