CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
In determining the guilt or innocence of the accused in cases of rape, the courts have been traditionally guided by three settled principles, namely: (a) an accusation for rape is easy to make, difficult to prove, and even more difficult to disprove; (b) in view of the intrinsic nature of the crime, the testimony of the complainant must be scrutinized with utmost caution; and (c) the evidence of the prosecution must stand on its own merits and cannot draw strength from the weakness of the evidence for the defense.[14]

PER CURIAM
In determining the guilt or innocence of the accused in cases of rape, the victim's testimony is crucial in view of the intrinsic nature of the crime in which only two persons are normally involved. He may be convicted on the basis of her lone, uncorroborated testimony provided it is clear, positive, convincing, and consistent with human nature.[29] Thus, her testimony must be scrutinized with extreme caution.[30]
