| This argument is pointless. Apart from the allegations of accused-appellant in his brief, he never presented a single strand of proof that Conrado Gunaden harbored any ill feelings against him. As a matter of fact, nowhere in his testimony did it appear that he and Conrado were ever involved in any altercation. His testimony comprised only of bare denials to the complainant's accusations. Moreover, we do not believe that Conrado merely compelled his daughter to testify against accused-appellant for it is unnatural for a parent to use his offspring as an instrument of malice, especially if it will subject a daughter to embarrassment.[44] And no man in his right mind would needlessly subject his child to a humiliating ordeal just to get even with another.[45] | |||||
