SERENO, J.
Moreover, being negative defenses, denial and alibi cannot prevail over the positive testimonies of the complainants. Between the positive and categorical testimony of the rape victim on one hand and the accused's bare denial on the other, the former generally prevails. [30]

QUISUMBING, J.
Between the positive and categorical testimony of a rape victim, duly corroborated by a disinterested witness on one hand, and the appellant's bare denial on the other, it is a time honored principle that the former generally prevails, especially if there is no sufficient motive on the part of the prosecution witnesses to falsely testify against appellant.[67]

The trial court granted an award of P30,000.00 in favor of the victim, without denoting its purpose. In accordance with recent jurisprudence, an award of P50,000.00 should be given to the victim by way of civil indemnity.[16] Further, moral damages may be awarded in the amount of fifty thousand (P50,000.00) pesos for the suffering endured by the victim because of the bestial act committed against her.

Q: It is not a fact, Miss Witness, that the ccused showers you with affection, all the needs of the family and he never maltreated you in any way? A: I know that but I could not forgive him."[17] We adhere to the time honored principle that between the positive and categorical testimony of a rape victim and the accused's bare denial, the former generally prevails. This is especially true when, as in this case, there is no evidence of improper motive on the part of the victim to falsely testify against appellant.[18]
