was fully aroused. Thereafter, Padlan took "AAA's" clothes off and undressed
himself as well. He told "AAA" to lie down. Padlan then inserted his penis inside
"AAA's" vagina. According to "AAA," the insertion of appellant's penis was only for a
short time but the insertion was so painful that it caused her to shout 'Aray!' Padlan
withdrew his penis and inserted his finger inside "AAA's" vagina instead. "AAA"
again exclaimed in pain, which caused Padlan to remove his finger. Thereafter,
"AAA" put her clothes back on. She did not report the incident to her mother
because of Padlan's threat to kill her mother if she did.
The second incident occurred in the evening of September 27, 2005 when Padlan
called "AAA" and told her that her mother, "BBB," wanted her to go to a certain Ate
Sharon to borrow money. Padlan warned "AAA" that "BBB" would spank her if she
did not obey her order. Consequently, "AAA" followed Padlan to Ate Sharon's house.
When they reached an aratiles tree along the way, Padlan stopped "AAA" and told
her to lie down on the ground. Padlan then removed "AAA's" shorts and underwear
and inserted his penis inside her vagina. After Padlan was fmished satisfying his
lust, "AAA" went home by herself.
The following day on September 28, 2005, "AAA" was sleeping in her sister's
bedroom while her mother was gathering kangkong outside. "AAA" was again
roused from her sleep when she felt Padlan touching and rubbing her vagina. "AAA"
quickly ran towards her mother to prevent Padlan from going any further with his
advances.
The next day, "AAA" complained to "BBB" about the pain she felt in her vagina.
"BBB" examined "AAA's" vagina and saw that it was swollen and had pus. When
asked who was responsible for her swollen vagina, "AAA" told her mother about
what Padlan had done to her. "BBB" then confronted Padlan about "AAA's" claims.
According to "BBB," Padlan admitted that he raped "AAA" twice.
"AAA's" older brother reported the rape incidents to the police. Padlan was then
apprehended by the police authorities while "AAA" was brought to Camp Crame for
a medical examination.
"BBB" testified that she knew Padlan because their neighbor, Alvin Padlan (Alvin),
adopted him. When Alvin left for Masbate, he left Padlan under her care with a
promise that he would get him upon his return. As such, Padlan lived with "BBB's"
family since August 15, 2003 until September 28, 2005 when he was arrested.
