| Testimonial evidence, to be believed, must come not only from the mouth of a credible witness, but must also "be credible, reasonable, and in accord with human experience."[59] A credible witness must, therefore, be able to narrate a convincing and logical story. | |||||

| To be believed, testimonial evidence should come only from the mouth of a credible witness.[16] Given his service record, Buan can hardly qualify as a witness worthy, under the limited confines of this case, of full faith and credit. And lest it be overlooked, Buan is a rogue cop, having, per his own admission, been arrested for indulging in a pot session, eventually charged and dismissed from the police service. [17] It would appear, thus, that Buan's had been a user. His arrest for joining a pot session only confirms this undesirable habit. | |||||

| Settled is the rule that, to be credible, testimonial evidence should come not only from the mouth of a credible witness.[22] The testimony must also be credible, reasonable and in accord with human experience.[23] No better test has yet to be found to determine the weight of the testimony of a witness than its conformity to the knowledge and common experience of mankind.[24] In the present case, petitioner claims that he is a legitimate, respected and learned businessman.[25] As such, he is expected to take ordinary care of his concerns by keeping evidence of the salaries he gave to the security guards he hired as well as the expenses he incurred in the building of fences around the property. At the least, he could have kept his own record of the expenditures he made pursuant to his contract with the private complainant. | |||||
