Upon arraignment on 2 March 2004, appellant, assisted by counsel entered a plea of NOT
GUILTY.
Thereafter, trial ensued. The Prosecution presented AAA, SPO3 Felipe Gomez, Jr., and
Elmer Marquez. The defense on the other hand presented Sandy Domingo and Jocelyn
Mariano as witnesses.
xxxx
People's Version
AAA is a saleslady in a public market in Rosario, Cavite. On 24 January 2004, at around
8:00 in the evening, private complainant was waiting for her cousin to fetch her, when
appellant, who worked in a fish stall in the market, approached her. Appellant asked if he
could accompany private complainant to her aunt's home, where she resided. Since AAA's
cousin was not around to fetch her, she agreed for appellant to accompany her home.
The two boarded a tricycle. As they were about to leave, appellant brought out a bladed
weapon and poked the same on AAA's right waist. Struck with fear, AAA was unable to ask
for help. Along the way, AAA realized that they were no longer proceeding to her aunt's
house because the tricycle made a different turn. They stopped at a place that was not
familiar to her. Thereafter, the two of them alighted after appellant paid the tricycle driver.
The entire time, however, appellant was holding the knife and poking it against AAA's side.
With appellant still holding the knife and poking it against AAA's waist, the two walked
toward a house, appellant knocked on the door, and a man came out. Appellant and AAA
were allowed entry inside the house. The man did not say anything and immediately went
inside a room.
Appellant ordered AAA to enter another room. Once inside, appellant who was still holding
the knife, undressed himself. Appellant ordered AAA to undress next, but AAA did not obey.
Appellant, still holding the knife, forcibly undressed AAA until the latter was completely
naked.
Appellant ordered AAA to lie down on the wooden bed. While still holding the knife,
appellant inserted his penis into private complainant's vagina. AAA felt pain in her private
part. Appellant also kissed AAA's neck and lips. Appellant made a pumping motion while
his penis was inserted in AAA's vagina. Afterwards, appellant pulled out his penis, kissed
AAA, and played with the knife on the latter's face. They did not sleep. After a while,
appellant again inserted his penis inside her vagina and kissed her. After removing his
penis, he inserted it again for the fourth time. Thereafter, appellant dressed up and
ordered her to put on her clothes. While he was helping her put on her clothes, she told
him that she wants to go home. He answered that he will let her go home if she will not
tell anybody what happened. At around 3:00 in the morning, they went out of the house
and headed towards the tricycle terminal. She went home and told her Aunt what
happened. Thereafter, they went to the police station to report the incident.
Defense's Version:
AAA was appellant's girlfriend. On 24 January 2004 at around 10:00 o'clock in the evening,
he and AAA eloped and went to the house of his brother-in-law in Sapa II, Cavite. They
spent the night there and agreed that they will go to her Aunt's house and get her things
and will proceed to Bicol. When they reached her aunt's house, AAA went inside while he
waited. After a few minutes, a man came out and chased him with a bolo which prompted
him to run. At around 7:00 o'clock in the morning, he was at his sister's house when the
policemen arrived and informed him that there was a complaint filed against him. He went
with them to the police station.3
On September 6, 2013, the RTC rendered judgment finding the accused-appellant guilty as charged,
decreeing thusly:
WHEREFORE, premises considered, judgment is hereby rendered finding accused Sandy
Domingo y Labis @ Bitoy GUlLTY beyond reasonable doubt of the crime of forcible
abduction with rape, defined and penalized under Article 342, in relation to Article 266-A
(as amended by R.A. 8353) and Article 48 of the Revised Penal Code, and hereby
sentences him to suffer the penalty of reclusion perpetua. Further, accused Sandy Domingo
is hereby ordered to pay AAA: (1) the amount of P50,000.00, as civil indemnity ex delicto,
and (2) the amount of P50,000.00, as moral damages; and to pay the costs.
SO ORDERED.4
Judgment of the CA
On September 24, 2015, the CA affirmed the RTC, holding that AAA's testimony categorically describing
how the appellant had abducted and ravaged her was credible; that her failure to shout for help or to
offer tenacious resistance did not make her submission to him voluntary; that his use of the knife was
sufficient to compel her to submit to his demands; that the presentation of the examining physician as a
witness was not indispensible in proving the rape; that his "sweetheart theory" could not be given weight
as a defense because he did not thereby establish that such relationship had really existed.
Issue
In his appeal, the appellant submits that:
THE COURT A QUO GRAVELY ERRED IN FINDING THE ACCUSED-APPELLANT GUILTY OF
THE CRIME CHARGED DESPITE THE PROSECUTION'S FAILURE TO PROVE HIS GUILT
BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT5
The appellant contends that AAA's testimony was incomplete and incredible, and as such did not
substantiate the charges against him; that she had not thereby elaborated how she was forced, coerced
or intimidated into submitting to him; that she had voluntarily gone with him, and had consented to the
sexual congress;6 that her conduct before, during and immediately following the crime belied her

allegations against him; that her testimony was uncorroborated because the Prosecution did not present
the examining physician; and that on the other hand his own witness, Jocelyn Mariano, corroborated his
having a romantic relationship with AAA.7
In other words, the appellant submits that the CA committed serious reversible errors in finding him
guilty of forcible abduction with rape despite (a) the incredible testimony of AAA; (b) the failure of the
Prosecution to present the examining physician to explain the findings; and (c) the "sweetheart theory"
advanced by him.
Ruling of the Court
We affirm the CA's decision with modification of the characterization of the crime committed.
We note at the outset that the RTC and the CA both found AAA's testimony to be credible. Consequently,
it became incumbent upon the appellant to present clear and persuasive reasons to persuade the Court
to reverse their unanimous determination of her credibility as a witness in order to resolve the appeal his
way. Alas, he did not discharge his burden, and, consequently, we declare that the CA aptly held that:
Our review of the records reveals that AAA's testimony was candid and straightforward.
During cross-examination, she remained steadfast, consistent and unwavering in her
testimony. She categorically described how appellant took advantage of her. She narrated
that appellant offered to accompany her home. However, when they boarded the tricycle,
appellant poked a bladed weapon on her right waist. Paralyzed with fear, she was unable to
shout or ask for help. x x x x [W]hile it appears that AAA initially agreed for appellant to
accompany her home, her willingness ceased when appellant pointed a bladed weapon at
her right waist. Overcome by fear, she was not able to react when the tricycle proceeded to
an unfamiliar place. Considering the foregoing circumstances, AAA's failure to shout for
help does not give less credit to her testimony. Time and again, it has been held that
physical resistance is not an element in the crime of rape and need not be established
when intimidation is exercised upon the victim. The victim's failure to shout or offer
tenacious resistance did not make voluntary her submission to the criminal acts of her
aggressor. Appellant's use of a knife was enough for AAA to submit to his demands. Not
every victim can be expected to act with reason or in conformity with the usual
expectations of everyone. The workings of a human mind placed under emotional stress
are unpredictable; people react differently.8
We remind the appellant that the trial court's evaluation and conclusion on the credibility of witnesses in
rape cases are generally accorded great weight and respect, and at times even finality, especially after
the CA as the intermediate reviewing tribunals has affirmed the findings, unless there is a clear showing
that the findings were reached arbitrarily, or that certain facts or circumstances of weight, substance or
value were overlooked, misapprehended or misappreciated that, if properly considered, would alter the
result of the case. In this case, the appellant has not made such showing. Indeed, we have no reason to
reverse the well-considered findings and observations of the lower courts.
We do not find the non-presentation of the physician who had examined AAA to affect in any significant
manner the credibility of the victim's testimony. After all, the medical findings have never been
considered indispensable in supporting convictions for rape. In contrast, we reiterate that the rape
victim's testimony, standing alone, can be made the basis of the successful prosecution of the culprit
provided such testimony meets the test of credibility.9
Anent the sweetheart defense of the appellant, the CA and the trial court justly rejected it. Such defense,
being uncorroborated and self-serving, deserved scant consideration. Nonetheless, that the appellant and
the victim had been sweethearts was no excuse in the eyes of the law for him to employ force and
intimidation in gratifying his carnal desires.10
Was the complex crime of forcible abduction with rape committed?
Under Article 342 of the Revised Penal Code, the elements of forcible abduction are: (1) the taking of a
woman against her will; and (2) with lewd designs. The crime of forcible abduction with rape is a complex
crime that occurs when the abductor has carnal knowledge of the abducted woman under the following
circumstances: (1) by using force or intimidation; (2) when the woman is deprived of reason or
otherwise unconscious; and (3) when the woman is under 12 years of age or is demented.
Although the elements of forcible abduction obtained, the appellant should be convicted only of rape. His
forcible abduction of AAA was absorbed by the rape considering that his real objective in abducting her
was to commit the rape. Where the main objective of the culprit for the abduction of the victim of rape
was to have carnal knowledge of her, he could be convicted only of rape.11
The penalty of reclusion perpetua was properly imposed pursuant to Article 266(B)12 of the Revised
Penal Code.13
To accord with jurisprudence,14 the awards of damages are increased as follows: (1) P75,000.00 as civil
indemnity; (2) P75,000.00 as moral damages; and (3) P75,000.00 as exemplary damages. Moreover, the
CA correctly imposed interest of 6% per annum on all such items of civil liability reckoned from the
finality of judgment until fully paid.15
WHEREFORE, we AFFIRM the decision promulgated on September 24, 2015, with the MODIFICATION
that accused SANDY DOMINGO y LABIS is: (a) DECLARED GUILTY BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT
of SIMPLE RAPE as defined under Article 266-A of the Revised Penal Code and penalized with reclusion
perpetua; and (b) ORDERED TO PAY to AAA P75,000.00 as civil indemnity, P75,000.00 as moral
damages, and P75,000.00 as exemplary damages, plus interest of 6% per annum on all the items of civil
liability reckoned from the finality of judgment until fully paid.
The accused shall pay the costs of suit.
