I, FELICITO G. INDING, 35 years old, single, and a resident of
Block 3, Lot 1, Ramos Village, Sta. Filomena, Dipolog City, after having been duly sworn to in accordance with law, hereby depose and say THAT:
1. I personally saw the accused, Arnold A. Chavez, commit the
crime as alleged against Ernesto O. Guerrero;
2. I am a hired help of Ernesto O. Guerrero, whom I fondly call
Manong Ernesto; tasked to assist him in the multi-purpose convenience store located at Stall 3, Majika Commercial Complex, Sta. Filomena, Dipolog City during business hours;
3. On the afternoon of January 13, 2017, I was restocking the
display shelves of the goods delivered earlier that day when two customers on a motorcycle stopped right in front of the store;
4. I continued restocking the front display shelves so, the
owners son, Sebastian O. Guerrero, assisted the customers instead. One of the customers was Arnold A. Chavez, our neighbors hired laborer. He is a frequent customer of the store because its the store nearest to their workplace so he and his co-workers would usually have their merienda and drinking session after work there;
5. After he was given the pack of cigarette he asked for, I saw
Arnold Chavez jostle inside his bag as if desperately looking for something. To my surprise he took out a gun and shot Manong Ernesto; 1 | Page 6. I ran towards Arnold Chavez as he was aiming his gun at Sebastian so I got the knife I was using to open the boxes of goods and hit Arnold Chavez on his arm with it. He ran to the motorcycle which sped off;
7. Earlier that week, Arnold Chavez requested me to ask
Manong Ernesto if he could borrow money. Manong Ernesto refused since he still has an outstanding debt for store goods unpaid for over 2 months and he is already known to be Palainom and Sugarol.
8. When I told him Manong Ernesto cannot lend him money,
he got very angry and said Magmahay ra jud nang tigulanga na! Dalo kaayo! then left. I did not see him after our conversation until the day of shooting;
9. I executed this affidavit to attest the truthfulness of the
foregoing facts and to support the filing of the criminal case against Arnold Chavez.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
16th day of January 19, 2017 at Dipolog City, Philippines.
FELICITO G. INDING Affiant
SUBSCRIBED AND SWORN to before me this 19thday of
January 2017 at Dipolog City, Philippines, affiant exhibiting to his competent evidence of identity by way of Certificate of Residence issued at Sta. Filomena, Dipolog City on January 4, 2017.
