PHILIPPINE SUPREME COURT DECISIONS

FIRST DIVISION

[G.R. No. L-43783. September 30, 1982.]

THE PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. WILLIAM BOKINGKITO TERANO, Defendant-Appellant.

The Solicitor General for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Edgardo A. Arellano, for Defendant-Appellant.

SYNOPSIS


In the early morning of January 1, 1976, Vivian Luaña, eight-years old, was sleeping in their house when she was awakened by herein appellant. Armed with a kitchen knife, appellant warned her not to shout otherwise she would be killed. Appellant succeeded in having sexual intercourse with Vivian. As soon as her mother arrived, Vivian revealed to her the sexual assault committed against her. Vivian was taken to the hospital where she was confined for six days. The doctor found that Vivian had been a victim of a recent sexual assault. Brought to the police station and asked if she could identify the man who raped her, Vivian pointed at appellant who was seated among many persons. Charged with rape, appellant denied the charge and interposed alibi. He also alleged that the confession he made earlier was not voluntary. The lower court disregarded the defense of appellant and convicted him of rape, sentencing him to suffer reclusion perpetua.Hence, this appeal.

The Supreme Court AFFIRMED the decision of the trial court and held that even if appellant’s confession was disregarded, still the complainant by her testimony conclusively established his guilt.


SYLLABUS


1. REMEDIAL LAW; EVIDENCE; CONFESSIONS, NOT NECESSARY FOR CONVICTION IF GUILT IS ESTABLISHED BY OTHER EVIDENCE. — Even if we disregard completely appellant’s written confession on the ground that the same was taken in violation of his constitutional right (Sec. 20, Art. IV, Constitution), the testimony of the trial court made the observation that said complainant, in spite of her tender age withstood the long and searching cross-examination of an experienced and able defense counsel.

2. CRIMINAL LAW; RAPE; POSITIVE TESTIMONY OF COMPLAINANT PREVAILS OVER DENIAL OF APPELLANT IN CASE AT BAR. — There is more than ample justification in the finding that the crime of rape was indeed committed by the appellant. Aside from the complainant’s recital of the sexual abuse inflicted upon her, there was the impartial testimony of the doctor who conducted the physical examination. As between the positive testimony of Vivian Luaña and the denial of the appellant, the finding of the trial court is "generally viewed as correct and thus entitled to the highest respect" (People v. Enrique Eguac, L-36082, December 29, 1977).


D E C I S I O N


RELOVA, J.:


Appeal from the decision of the Court of First Instance of South Cotabato, finding William Bokingkito Terano guilty beyond reasonable doubt of the crime of rape and sentencing him "to RECLUSION PERPETUA to indemnify Vivian Luaña in the sum of P10,000.00 as compensatory, moral and exemplary damages and to pay the costs."cralaw virtua1aw library

Records show that a complaint for rape was filed by Vivian Luaña an eight-year old minor, assisted by her mother Clodualda D. Luaña, which states:jgc:chanrobles.com.ph

"That at about 1:00 o’clock in the early morning of January 1, 1976 at Fatima, Silway, City of General Santos, Philippines and within the jurisdiction of this Honorable Court, the abovenamed accused, by means of force and intimidation, and with the use of a deadly weapon, did then and there willfully, unlawfully and feloniously have sexual intercourse with the undersigned, a minor below twelve (12) years old, against her will and without her consent."cralaw virtua1aw library

Upon arraignment, William Bokingkito Terano entered a plea of not guilty after which the prosecution presented its evidence as follows: In the early morning of January 1, 1976, Vivian Luaña was sleeping with her brothers and sisters in their house in Silway, General Santos City when she was awakened by herein appellant. Armed with a stainless kitchen knife, appellant warned Vivian not to shout otherwise she would be killed. Her shortpants and panties had been slashed and her private parts exposed. Thereafter, appellant tried to have sexual intercourse with Vivian who, however, moved her bowels. Appellant then laid Vivian on a mat, placed a pillow beneath her buttocks and this time succeeded in having sexual intercourse with her. He stood up, put off the kerosene lamp which had lighted the room and left the young victim whose sexual organ was bleeding profusely.

About four o’clock that morning, Vivian’s mother Clodualda arrived from her elder brother’s house where she had cooked food to commemorate the death anniversary of her husband. Vivian revealed to her mother the sexual assault committed against her by a man who she described as having a scar on the left face and eyebrow.

Clodualda brought Vivian to General Santos City Health Office. Dr. Jose Alvarado, after examining the victim, directed the mother to take her immediately to the Emergency Hospital. Vivian was confined in the hospital for six (6) days.chanrobles.com.ph : virtual law library

It was the finding of Dr. Alvarado that Vivian sustained "fresh bleeding and multiple lacerations of the hymen with perineal tear extending downwards." Further, Dr. Alvarado observed that Vivian is no longer a virgin and that she had been a victim of a recent sexual assault.

On January 4, 1976, about 4:30 in the morning, appellant was brought to the police station on complaint by some residents of Silway, General Santos City, that he had molested a woman. Herein complainant was brought in and asked if she could identify the man who raped her. She answered in the affirmative and eventually pointed at appellant who was seated in a corner among many persons inside the police station, as the person who raped her.

The defense was denial and alibi. Appellant claimed that on December 31, 1975, he with a friend, named Boy, went to Davao City riding on a bus from General Santos City at one o’clock in the afternoon. Upon arrival in Davao City, they went to International Restaurant where they ordered rice, lomi and chop suey and, thereafter, drank twenty-four bottles of beer. Thereafter, he went to a bus station and slept there until the early morning of January 1, then he went back to General Santos City, taking a bus.

The trial court disregarded the defense of alibi and appellant’s denial of the voluntariness of his confession. It said: "It cannot stand against the affirmative testimonies of Vivian Luaña, a child of tender age, confirmed by her mother Clodualda Vda. de Luaña to whom she reported the incident after the startling occurrence, the medical findings of Dr. Jose Alvarado and his own confession. In fact, its trustworthiness was testified to by Cpl. Fermin Seranias, confirmed by its contents as well as by his admission in the preliminary investigation. Taken as a whole, we are convinced with moral certainty that the crime of rape was committed by the defendant against the person of Vivian Luaña. That is punishable by Reclusion Perpetua (Art. 335, Revised Penal Code)."cralaw virtua1aw library

Further, the trial court observed that in his direct testimony "he told the Court that it was on January 1, in the afternoon, that they went to Davao City and it was on the second day January that he returned. His meeting with Boy was rather strange. They met for the first time on December 24, 1975 at General Santos City when he was called by him. After a short conversation, they agreed to go to Davao City to spend New Year there. He did not know the real name of Boy. That is rather unusual and is not worthy of credence."cralaw virtua1aw library

Coming to this Court, appellant claimed that the trial erred: (1) in admitting and considering as evidence against the accused-appellant the latter’s written confession which was taken in violation of the constitutional rights of the accused and (2) in not considering in favor of the accused the latter’s defense of alibi.

Appellant contends that on the eve of January 1, 1976 he was in Davao, with a friend, and such being the case it would be physically impossible for him to commit the crime of rape imputed upon him; that he returned to General Santos City sometime after the alleged incident had happened.chanrobles law library : red

We are not persuaded. Even if we disregard completely appellant’s written confession (Exhibit "C") on the ground that the same was taken in violation of his constitutional right (Sec. 20, Art. IV, Constitution), the testimony of complainant Vivian Luaña sufficiently sustains the allegations of the complainant. The trial court made the observation that said complainant, in spite of her tender age, withstood the long and searching cross-examination of an experienced and able defense counsel. We are quoting pertinent portions of her testimony, as follows:jgc:chanrobles.com.ph

There is more than ample justification in the finding that the crime of rape was indeed committed by the appellant. Aside from the complainant’s recital of the sexual abuse inflicted upon her, there was the impartial testimony of the doctor who conducted the physical examination. As between the positive testimony of Vivian Luaña and the denial of the appellant, the finding of the trial court is generally viewed as correct and thus entitled to the highest respect. (People v. Enrique Equac, L-36082, December 29, 1977).
