| It is of no moment that the prosecution failed to present AAA to testify. The appellate court correctly held that the testimony of the offended party is of utmost importance in a rape case because the victim and the accused are the only participants who can testify as to its occurrence.[26] In the instant case, the incident was witnessed by Lourdes and her positive testimony carries much greater weight than appellant's mere denial especially since said denial is unsubstantiated.[27] Lourdes categorically testified, thus:Q Can you please tell us what was that unusual incident that happened? | |||||
