Street Sta. Cruz Manila. I am writing this counter affidavit as my defense for the
crime of robbery that was charged against me by Raymond R. Rogacion in his
complaint dated February 20, 2015.
In the complaint of Raymond R. Rogacion, I was included as a co accused of Roberto
Garcia for the crime of robbery that allegedly took place on February 16, 2015.
It was stated in his complaint that on February 16, 2015 at about 9:15 in the
evening he was on his usual way home and while on the intersection of lerma and
recto two (2) men approached him and both armed with knives. Then he was
threatened that he would be harmed if he will not give his bag. That after complying
with the order of the two men, the two ran away and after few minutes a police
mobile arrived. He then asked the two police men who are: PO1 Morales and PO3
Nogales for help, thereafter the police went to the direction where the two robbers
went. After almost an hour the police mobile returned with two men who allegedly
robbed Raymond Rogacion.
I do not deny the fact that I was one of the two men that were apprehended and
were brought to the police station; however I deny the fact that I was one of the two
men that robbed Raymond Rogacion.
It was about 9:25 in the evening of February 16, 2015 that I was able to get out
from work as a janitor of UCPB , M.F. Tiaoqui Building, Plaza Sta. Cruz, Sta. Cruz, Manila branch.
Usually, I go out of work at around 5:30 pm, but on that day stated, I worked overtime as I was ordered by
our branch manager Mr. Luis Tan to help in the preparations for the renovation of the Bank.
While I was waiting on the corner of Recto and Sta. Cruz for a jeepney to ride on my way home, I saw two
men running towards my direction. I noticed that one of them was holding a bag. When they were already
near me, the other man who was not holding the bag went to Sta. Cruz Street, while the other man who
was holding the bag went straight towards me, suddenly a police mobile arrived, blocked the man holding
the bag and thereafter apprehended me.
I was then trying to ask the two policemen why they were apprehending me, but all my questions were to
no avail. They boarded me in the police mobile and then they drove to the intersection of Recto and
Lerma where Raymond Rogacion was waiting. Raymond Rogacion then boarded in the mobile and from
there we went to the police station.
Upon arriving at the police station, I immediately asked for permission to call my wife. I was then allowed
to call my wife.
It was only at the police station and only from the moment that we were brought to the police desk that I
knew the name of Raymond Rogacion and the other man that was apprehended with me. We were all
made to sign the log book, as they told as that it was for standard procedure. After about 5 minutes,
another police officer approached the desk and thereafter said that the other man apprehended with me is
Roberto Garcia who was previously convicted of the same crime.
I was then placed in a cell together with Roberto Garcia. I spent the night at the cell. The following day,
February 17, 2015 my wife together with Atty. Eduarte came to the police station. After an hour I was
released and told by a police officer that I am temporarily being released to prepare my defense for the
criminal complaint of robbery charged against me.
Hence, I execute this counter affidavit to refute the charge of robbery against me. to attest to the
truthfulness of my statements in this counter affidavit, I hereby affix my signature.
Raymond R. Rogacion
