CARPIO MORALES, J. |
||||
| It is settled that each party has the prerogative to determine which witnesses to present and to dispense with testimony which is merely corroborative,[34] in which case the presumption in Section 3(e), Rule 131 of the Rules of Court that evidence willfully suppressed would be adverse if produced does not apply.[35] That Malubay's sworn statement substantially jibed with the gist and import of Paz's testimony in open court that Paoyo and John Doe went to her store before proceeding to the residence of the victim is not disputed. | |||||
