 | | At around 2:30 o’clock in the afternoon of 1 June 1993, Jennylyn Cordero (the victim’s aunt), while sitting in the balcony of her house attending to her child, saw her niece, the victim Julie Ann Kiam, a 12-year-old mental retardate, waving at the accused-appellant Marcelino “Senoy” Erardo, a neighbor. |
 | | Moreover, the trial court had observed that the victim Julie Ann Kiam was able to answer clearly the questions propounded to her by counsels of both parties and the court; and the trial court was convinced from the manner by which she testified that she had in fact been raped by accused-appellant Marcelino “Senoy” Erardo. |
