| Likewise, GALLARDE's alibi and bare denial deserve no consideration. He did not present witnesses who could confirm his presence in his house. No member of his family corroborated him on this matter. The defenses of denial and alibi, if unsubstantiated by clear and convincing evidence, are negative and self-serving, deserve no weight in law, and cannot be given evidentiary value over the testimony of credible witnesses who testify on affirmative matters.[39] | |||||
