17 Id. at 6-9. Id. at 10-14; AAA spoke of a similar complaint filed against Dinamling by another woman but it is unclear whether this was the reason for his dismissal from the police service. 18 Almeda v. Court of Appeals,336 Phil. 621, 629-630 (1997); People v. Pacuancuan,452 Phil. 72, 81 (2003). 19 TSN (Direct examination of DDD), April 29, 2008, pp. 3-7. It is unclear if this miscarriage is the same one mentioned in AAA’s testimony, or is another earlier incident. 20 21 Id. at 4-5. 22 TSN (Cross examination of DDD), April 29, 2008, p. 7. 23 In relation to Sec. 3(a), RA 9262. 24 Id. Any of the acts enumerated in No. 4 comprise this element and they are a "means" or way of causing mental or emotional anguish, per the definition of "psychological violence" found in Sec. 3(a)(C), id., to wit: 25 Section 3(a) x x x x C. "Psychological violence" refers to acts or omissions causing or likely to cause mental or emotional suffering of the victim such as but not limited to intimidation, harassment, stalking, damage to property, public ridicule or humiliation, repeated verbal abuse and mental infidelity. It includes causing or allowing the victim to witness the physical, sexual or psychological abuse of a member of the family to which the victim belongs, or to witness pornography in any form or to witness abusive injury to pets or to unlawful or unwanted deprivation of the right to custody and/or visitation of common children.

Ayupan, 427 Phil. 200, 208-209 (2002). 29 Id. 30 Proof of mental anguish as a component of moral damages is herein applied by analogy. Jurisprudence holds that mental anguish is proven by the testimony of no other person than the victim because it is personal to him. Mental anguish, serious anxiety, wounded feelings and other emotional and mental suffering are proven only by the victim himself/herself taking the witness stand and testifying. (Mahinay v. Velasquez, 464 Phil. 146, 149 [2004]). There must be a clear testimony on the anguish and other forms of mental suffering. Thus, if the plaintiff fails to take the witness stand and testify as to his/her social humiliation, wounded feelings and anxiety, moral damages cannot be awarded. Kierulf v. Court of Appeals,336 Phil. 414, 431-432 (1997).
