A. Around 9 o'clock. Q. After pulling down your pants and your panty along that road, what else happened? A. He threw my pants and panty back tome and he left shouting at me, my family name. It is very hurting because my family (had) nothing to do with this. xxxx Q. And what happened the following day? A. I stayed at my friend's house then at 5:00 o'clock early morning of March 21, there was pain at my back. That night when he kicked me, there was pain at my back. I said I (would) just go tomorrow for medication but I did not reach the day because I was bleeding. When I went to the bathroom, there (was) blood so I said I think I am going to abort. There (was) blood already so I decided to go to bath before I (went) to the hospital but when I went to take a bath, I already had profuse bleeding so they (had) to carry me with the use of a blanket to the hospital.17 AAA also stated that the baby that she claims was aborted would have been her third child with Dinamling. She also testified about always being afraid of Dinamling, even fearing the sound of his motorcycle as that signalled that she or her children would be abused. She previously filed with the police a complaint for physical injuries but nothing came of it. Later, she learned from Dinamling that he had been discharged as a policeman.18 The trial court specifically ascribed credibility on the said testimony of AAA which the Court of Appeals has affirmed. Under such circumstances, this Court has little option but to accord said findings with great respect, if not finality. The findings off act of the trial court, as regards the credibility of a witness, when affirmed by the Court of Appeals and supported by the evidence on record are accorded finality.19 In addition to AAA's testimony, her mother DDD also testified that her daughter was "like a corpse" because of Dinamling's maltreatment. DDD narrated the history of maltreatment of her daughter, including the times that she saw her with "bluish spots" and when AAA had a miscarriage from all the boxing and kicking that she had received from Dinamling.20 She knew that Dinamling was a married man when he had his relationship with AAA21 and she knew for a fact that Dinamling did not live with AAA and the children because he always went home to his own wife.22 The above testimonies suffice to establish the elements of the crime as defined in Section 5(i) of RA No. 9262 and as alleged in the two Informations filed against petitioner. The provision of the law states: Section 5.
