The sweetheart defense is a much-abused
defense that rashly derides the intelligence of the Court. Being an affirmative
defense, the invocation of a love affair must be supported by convincing
proof. In this case, apart from his
self-serving assertions, Cabanilla offered no sufficient and convincing
evidence to substantiate his claim that they were lovers.
