Ample margin of error and understanding should be accorded to the young complainant who, naturally

would be gripped with tension, certainly much more than adults, when required to relive an experience
she would most definitely rather forget Errorless testimony cannot be expected of a rape victim for she
may not be able to remember and recount every ugly detail of the harrowing experience and appalling
outrage she went through, especially so since she might in fact be trying not to recall the same, as they
are too painful to remember

In People vs Callos (419 Phil. 422) the Court ruled that the accused may be convicted
solely on the testimony of the victim, provided that such testimony is credible, natural,
convincing and consistent with human nature and the normal course of things.
