| The significance of raising the crime charged from simple rape to qualified rape relates to the award of damages. Since the crime of rape is perpetrated with a qualifying circumstance which required the imposition of the death penalty, the civil indemnity and moral damages for the victim shall be increased to P75,000.00 each.[28] Also, the award of exemplary damages in the amount of P30,000.00 is in order.[29] | |||||

| Pertinently, this Court has repeatedly stressed that no young girl would concoct a sordid tale of so serious a crime as rape at the hands of her own father, undergo medical examination, then subject herself to the stigma and embarrassment of a public trial, if her motive was other than a fervent desire to seek justice.[13] | |||||
