Judge Re-direct from prosecution?
Prosecution No. That would be all, Your Honor.
Judge Any more witness for the prosecution counsel?
Your Honor, I would like to call Dr. LILIA-MARI NIEVA to the
Prosecution counsel
witness stand.
Clerk of Court
Witness #3 I do.
I am Dr. Lilia-Mari Nieva, 28 years old, married, and a resident doctor
Witness #3
at the Bicol Regional Training and Teaching Hospital.
Prosecution counsel Thank you, your Honor.
Dr. Nieva, in your narration of your personal circumstance you said
that you are a Resident Doctor at the BRTTH. Is that correct, yes?
Witness #3 Yes, that is correct.
Prosecution counsel How long have you been a resident doctor at the BRTTH?
About a year and 11 months. I started immediately after passing the
Witness #3 medical board exams and I am almost finished with my mandatory
residency.
Dr. Nieva, do you recall treating a patient named Rizza Mangalleno at
Prosecution counsel
the BRTTH?
Yes, I remember that patient. She was brought to the hospital
Witness #3
unconscious and with a bruised face.
Prosecution counsel Can you tell this court what injuries the patient sustained?
The patient had multiple injuries specifically the avulsion of her left
upper first pre-molar and Cerebral contusion with neurologic deficits. I
ordered that a CT Scan for the patient and it showed that she had
Witness #3
hematoma or blood clot caused by an impact or blow to the head. She
was confined at the hospital for four days and I prescribed two weeks
of rest.
Do you recall issuing a medical certificate to the victim, Rizza
Prosecution counsel
Mangalleno, detailing the severity of her injuries?
Witness #3 Yes, ma’am.
Part of the records of this case is a medical certificate from the
BRTTH, will you kindly go over this and tell the honorable court if
Prosecution counsel
this is the same medical certificate that you issued in favor of Ms.
Rizza Mangalleno. (Shows document)
(looks at document) Yes, ma’am, that is the medical certificate I
Witness #3
issued.
May I manifest, your honor that the medical certificate has been
previously marked as Exh. “C”.
Prosecution counsel
No further questions, your honor.
CROSS-EXAMINATION BY DEFENSE COUNSEL(IYA)
Defense counsel Is it possible that a single punch would result into an injury such as
cerebral contusion.
Witness (Complainant) It depends on the strength of he aggressor
Defense counsel If the aggressor is drunk, will that have an effect on his strength
Witness (Complainant) Yes
Defense counsel What would be the effect. Will it decrease or increase his strength
Witness (Complainant) Being intoxicated by alcohol actually amounts to depression of self
control. Among the principal effect of alcohol is to slow down brain
activity depending on what and how much a person drinks. It also
slows reaction time dulls hearing, fogs memory and it weakens the
muscles
Defense counsel So it is higly probable that his strength decreased because he is drunk
Witness (Complainant) Yes
Considering that hos strength decreased, will it be possible that a
Defense counsel
single punch would not result into a cerebral contusion
Witness (Complainant) Yes, it is highly probable
If a person hits his head on hard surface is it highly probable that it
Defense counsel
would result to contusion
Witness (Complainant) Yes there is a high possibility
Your honor in this court/proceeding we were able to establish that the
cerebral contusion suffered by the complainant is due to the impact she
sustained when she fell hard on the pavement and not due to the single
Defense counsel
punch made by the accused.
Your honor we would like to offer this as a mitigating circumstance on
the case at hand.
Defense Counsel No more further questions, Your Honor.
Prosecution counsel Yes, your Honor, I would like to ask a few more questions.
Judge Proceed
Thank you, Your Honor.
Prosecution counsel Dr. Nieva, in the medical certificate that you issued, you mentioned
the term “neurological deficits.” Could you kindly tell the court
exactly what this means and can you give examples?
A neurologic deficit refers to abnormal function of a body area due to
weaker function of the brain, spinal cord, muscles, or nerves. In cases
Witness #3 of blunt head trauma, it is common for the patient to experience
abnormal reflexes, inability to speak, loss of balance, mental function
problems like memory loss, to name a few.
Is it possible for a person to have sustained these injuries due to
Prosecution counsel
punches inflicted by a man?
Yes, ma’am. These injuries are common to boxers and professional
Witness #3
fighters.
Prosecution counsel I have no further questions your honor.
Prosecution counsel We have no more questions, your Honor.
Judge Any more witness for the prosecution counsel?
Your Honor, I have no more witness to present. I would like to make

witness stand.
Clerk of Court
Witness #3 I do.
I am LEO SERIOS, Jr., 38 years old, married, and a resident of Purok
Witness #3
1, Barangay Binitayan, Daraga, Albay.
Judge Defense counsel, your witness is now ready.
Prosecution counsel Thank you, your Honor.
Judge Cross from prosecution?
Prosecution counsel Yes, your Honor. I have a few questions.
Judge Proceed.
Mr. Sirios, you mentioned earlier that plaintiff Rizza allegedly spread
Prosecution counsel
malicious rumors against you. Is that correct?
Sirios Yes, ma’am. She told the neighbors that I have a mistress
Mr. Sirios, how do you know that it was Rizza who was spread these
Prosecution counsel
rumors?
My wife told me that it was Rizza who told her that I have a mistress.
Sirios
Because of what Rizza said, my wife got mad and left me.
Prosecution counsel What did you feel when your wife left you?
Defense counsel Objection your honor, immaterial.
Judge Sustained.
Prosecution counsel What did you feel towards Rizza when your wife left you?
Defense counsel Objection your honor, immaterial.
Judge Overruled. Mr. Witness, answer the question.
Of course, I got mad. I was furious because she told my wife those
Sirios
rumors.
Prosecution counsel Is that why you confronted Rizza?
Defense counsel Objection your honor. Leading question.
Judge Sustained. Counsel, rephrase your question.
Prosecution counsel Why did you confront Rizza?
I wanted to talk to her, ask her about the rumors she is spreading about
Sirios
me.
You said earlier that you only wanted to talk to her, but then why did it
Prosecution counsel
end up in a violent tussle?
It was Rizza who got violent. She slapped me across the face that is
Siros
why I got mad. I only defended myself.
So, you are saying that you punched her in the face because you were
Prosecution counsel
defending yourself from Rizza?
Sirios Yes, ma’am.
Prosecution counsel Mr. Sirios, what is you occupation.
Sirios I am an amateur boxing coach.
How many hours a day do you spend for training and sparring
Prosecution counsel
practices?
Defense counsel Objection your honor. Immaterial.
Judge What is the purpose of your question, counsel?
You honor, I am trying to establish that the accused is fully capable of
Prosecution counsel
inflicting such severe injuries to the victim.
Judge Sustained. Witness, answer the question.
Sirios I usually train my athletes for 12 hours a day.
Your honor, as what the accused admitted, he punched the victim as
self defense. However, as what has been established earlier, the victim
only slapped the accused but he inflicted a strong punch to her face.
His retaliation is obviously disproportionate to the attack of the victim
and cannot be considered a mere self-defense.
