2. TUMANGGAP AKO NG MGA BULAKLAK SA ARAW NA ITO Ni: Suki Ballesteros

3. Tumanggap ako ng mga bulaklak sa araw na ito Hindi ko naman kaarawan Ni hindi espesyal ang araw na ito

4. Nagkasagutan kami sa unang pagkakataon kagabi At marami syang sinabi na sadyang nakakasakit sa akin Batid ko na nagsisisi siya at di nya sinasadya Ang kanyang mga binitiwang salita Sapagkat binigyan niya ako ng mga bulaklak sa araw na ito

5. Tumanggap ako ng bulaklak sa araw na ito Hindi naman naming anibersaryo at hindi espesyal ang araw na ito Kagabi isinalya niya ako sa dingding At sinimulan niya akong sakalin Parang isang bangungot ang nangyari Hindi ko mapaniwalaan na totoo ang lahat Nagising ako kinaumagahan na masakit At puno ng galos ang aking buong katawan Ngunit batid ko na nagsisisi siya Sapagkat binigyan niya ako ng mga bulaklak sa araw na ito

6. Tumanggap ako ng mga bulaklak sa araw na ito Hindi naman araw ng mga ina ni hindi rin espesyal ang araw na ito Kagabi muli niya akong sinaktan At higit itong malala kaysa sa nakaraan Kung iiwan ko siya ano ang aking gagawin ? Paano ko bubuhayin ang aking mga anak ? Paano ang mga gastusin ? Natatakot ako sa kanya at takot din akong umalis Ngunit batid ko nagsisisi siya Sapagkat binigyan niya ako ng mga bulaklak sa araw na ito

7. Tumanggap ako ng mga bulaklak sa araw na ito Sadyang espesyal ang araw na ito para sa akin Ito ang araw ng aking libing Kagabi napatay niya ako Binugbog niya ako hanggang sa ako’y nalagutan ng hininga Kung nagkaroon lamang ako ng tapang at lakas ng loob na iwan siya Hindi sana ako tumanggap ng mga bulaklak sa araw na ito

8. CONCEPTS: 1. “Violence against women and their children” covers any act or series of acts against a person’s wife former wife, or one with whom he has or had sexual or dating relationship or with whom he has a common ch ild, or against her child which result or is likely to result in (1) physical, (2) sexual (3) psychological harm of suffering, or (4) economic abuse including threats of such acts, battery, assault, coercion, harassment or arbitrary deprivation of liberty.

9. 2. “Battery” is inflicting harm upon the woman or her child resulting to the physical and psychological or emotional distress.

10. 3. A battered woman is one who is repeatedly subject to any forceful physical or psychological behavior by a man in order to coerce her to do something he wants her to do without concern of her rights . Battered women include wives or women in any form of intimate relationship with men . To be classified as such, the couple must go through the battering cycle at least twice . Any woman may find herself in an abusive relationship with a man once, if it occurs a second time, and she remains in the situation she is defined as a battered woman.

11. 4. The battered woman syndrome is characterized by the “cycle of violence,” which has 3 phases a) tension-building; b) acute battering incident; and c) tranquil, loving or non-violent.

12. 5. Victims who are found by court to be suffering from the battered woman syndrome do not incur any criminal and civil liability notwithstanding the absence of any of the elements for justifying circumstances of self-defense .(section 26)

13. 6. Where the brutalized person is already suffering from the syndrome , further evidence of actual physical assault at the time of the killing is not required. To require the battered person to await an obvious, deadly attack before she can defend her life “would amount to sentencing her to murder by installment.” Still, impending danger prior to defendant’s use of deadly force must be shown. Threatening behavior or communication can satisfy the required imminence of danger .

14. 7. The defense must prove that all 3 phases of cycle of violence have occurred at least twice. The final acute battering episode preceding the killing of batterer must have produced in the battered person’s mind an actual fear of an imminent harm from the batterer and an honest belief that she needed to use force in order to save her life. At the time of the killing, the batterer must have posed probable – not necessarily immediate and actual – grave harm to the accused based on the history of violence by the former against the latter.

15. (Note: Sec. 26 of RA 9262 provides that the victim shall not incur any criminal liability despite the absence of any of the justifying circumstances under the Revised Penal Code.)
