2.Q: But in her Judicial Affidavit dated April 26, 2018, she swore that she
was married?.
A: She is lying, sir. Our [insofar as Kylie Mae and Kyle John] father [my
brother insofar as Alfredo] died already last March 22, 2018.1
3.Q: How are you related to Rolando B. Edralin or the complainant Luceline
Mangapis Edralin?
A: ROLANDO B. EDRALIN is the father of respondents KYLIE MAE EDRALIN
SULASULA and KYLE JOHN A. EDRALIN, in his first marriage with Marwen
Antonio Edralin who died last April 9, 2007, at Cebu City.

Annex “1” = Death Certificate of Rolando B. Edralin, died last March 22, 2018.
1
Respondent ALFREDO B. EDRALIN is the full-blood brother of ROLANDO B.
EDRALIN. Hence, respondent ALFREDO B. EDRALIN is the uncle of
respondents KYLIE MAE EDRALIN-SULASULA and KYLE JOHN A. EDRALIN.
5.Q: So, his own wife, the herein-complainant, LUCELINE M. EDRALIN was
accused of complicity in the murder of ROLANDO B. EDRALIN?
A: Yes, sir, together with her paramour, and a hired gunman.
6.Q: What can you say to the claim of LUCELINE M. EDRALIN that you
accordingly stole last April 8, 2018, motor vehicles that she accordingly
acquired during her marriage with her late husband Rolando Baliao Edralin,
as follows:
1. ISUZU truck Elf, color Black, bearing plate no. KEU 922.
2. One [1] unit Kawasaki, color black, bearing plate no. 090809.
3. One [1] unit Suzuki Raider, 150.
4. One Big Bike 1000cc. motorcycle.
5. Isuzu Elf Cargo truck.

Prosecutor of Misamis Occidental, against Raul M. Villagantol, Alejandro Iman and Luceline M. Edralin,

THIRD: Complainant cannot legally claim that the motor vehicles belonged
to her, thus the element in carnapping/theft that the property must belong
to another is absent insofar as the respondents are concerned.
Respondents KYLIE MAE EDRALIN-SULASULA and KYLE JOHN A. EDRALIN
have more rights over these motor vehicles.
7.Q: Can you explain why you claim that the element in carnapping/theft
that the property must belong to another is absent in this case, insofar as
you are concerned?.
A: Yes, sir.
The first marriage was with our [insofar as Kylie Mae and Kyle
John] mother, MARWEN V. ANTONIO last January 8, 1989.3

Annex “3” = Marriage Contract between Rolando B. Edralin and Marwen V. Antonio last January 8, 1989.

Then last November 28, 2009, ROLANDO B. EDRALIN, who was then
43 years old married the complainant, LUCELINE MANGAPIS, who was then
24 years old.7
8.Q: During the first marriage of your father, ROLANDO B. EDRALIN and
MARWEN A. EDRALIN, what was their means of occupation?
A: They were both engaged in business endeavors, as follows:
9.Q: During the first marriage of your father, ROLANDO B. EDRALIN and
MARWEN A. EDRALIN, were they able to acquire properties?
A: Yes, sir. They were able to acquire real and personal properties, like
motor vehicles and jewelries.
10.Q: What can you say to the claim of the complainant LUCELINE
MANGAPIS that the properties she accused you of carnapping were
acquired during her marriage to ROLANDO B. EDRALIN?.
A: That is a lie. She never presented any document, especially a certificate
of registration and document of sale, to substantiate her claim. In fact, we
strongly dispute the identification of one [1] or two [2] mentioned motor

2009 at Calamba, Misamis Occidental.

vehicles as in-existent. Moreover, the identifiable and existing motor
vehicles that she mentioned were all acquired during the first marriage of
ROLANDO B. EDRALIN to MARWEN A. EDRALIN, not in the second marriage.

Article 996, Civil Code of the Philippines: “If a widow or widower and legitimate children or descendants
are left, the surviving spouse has in the succession the same share as that of each of the children”.

The Family Code of the Philippines took effect on August 3, 1988.
5
regime agreed upon is void, the system of absolute
community of property as established in this Code
shall govern.”
11.Q: You said that when your [Kylie Mae and Kyle John] mother,
MARWEN A. EDRALIN died last April 9, 2007, there was no liquidation or
settlement/partition of her estate?
A: There was none, sir.
6
“Upon the termination of the marriage by death, the
community property shall be liquidated in the same
proceeding for the settlement of the estate of the
deceased.
12.Q: Since the property relationship that governed the marriage between
your [Kylie Mae ane Kyle John] father, ROLANDO B. EDRALIN and the
herein-complainant, LUCELINE MANGAPIS was a complete separation of
property, what is its implication?
A: LUCELINE MANGAPIS had no known income, property, or occupation, at
the time she married our [Kylie Mae and Kyle John] father.
Thus, from what we were informed under the Family Code, all the
shares that our [Kylie Mae and Kyle John] father acquired after the death
of our mother, and was brought to his second marriage with the herein-
complainant, still belonged separately to him. And, whatever fruits or
income obtained from that business, also belonged separately to him.11
11
Article 145 of the Family Code of the Philippines, “Each spouse shall own, dispose of, possess,
administer and enjoy his own separate estate, without need of the consent of the other. To each spouse
shall belong all earnings from his or her profession, business or industry and all fruits, natural, industrial or
civil, due or received during the marriage from his or her separate property.”
7
13.Q: Since your father already died, having been murdered last March 22,
2018, who owns now the properties that he left?
A: All properties [business, real and personal properties, jewelries,
bank deposits] brought by our father to his marriage should be limited to
what was his share after our [Kylie Mae and Kyle John] mother’s death,
because we maintain that we already co-owned all these properties.
It is only these properties limited to the share of our [Kylie Mae and
Kyle Ann] father, that should be presumably divided equally between the
children of the first, second marriages and the surviving spouse, excluding
the child born out of wedlock by the surviving spouse.
In other words, as children of the first marriage, our [Kylie Mae and
Kyle John] share to the properties is bigger. While, I, respondent ALFREDO
B. EDRALIN, being the uncle of minor, KYLE JOHN A. EDRALIN am standing
as his guardian to protect his rights and interests, and also acting pursuant
to the request of KYLIE MAE A. EDRALIN to help and assist her and her
minor brother in the preservation of their rights, shares and interests over
their properties.
14.Q: Why do you say that the estate of ROLANDO B. EDRALIN should be
presumably divided – why presumably?
A: Because as we have earlier said, we are entertaining doubts as to the
paternity of one of the children. Besides, if an attempt to the life of a
spouse is a ground for disinheritance, then how much more if it resulted to
the murder and death of the spouse?.
15.Q: Going back to the complaint for carnapping, is this the reason why
you are claiming that the element that the property should belong to
another does not apply to you?
A: Yes, sir. We [Kylie Mae and Kyle John] own a greater part of the
properties of our father, inclusive of motor vehicles.
8
complete separation of property, then it was incumbent upon her to prove
that she had known income, property, or occupation, at the time she
married our [Kylie Mae and Kyle John] father.
15.Q: Going back to the complaint for carnapping, why do you say that the
element of animus lucrandi does not exist?
A: From the foregoing narration of facts, it is clear that we [Kylie Mae and
Kyle John] are the legal or intestate heirs of the late ROLANDO B. EDRALIN,
and that our rights to the properties are greater because we are the
children of the first marriage.
So, intent to gain must be ascertained from the overt acts of the
perpetrator. These overt acts should be established and proven, separately.
In fact, the complainant did not ever describe how the theft was
committed, what we did, or how we did it.
10
of 5,460 sq.m. It was acquired by our [Kylie Mae and Kyle
John] father thru donation during his first marriage to our
mother, MARWEN ANTONIO EDRALIN, and they have long
been in possession, control, occupation and enjoyment
thereof. The documentation and papers were processed later.
It is registered and declared in the name of our parents.
15-F.Q: So, are you saying that the motor vehicles claimed to
be stolen, are found in a compound not in the actual
possession, control, occupation, and enjoyment of the
complainant. Instead, the motor vehicles are within your
control and possession?
A: That is correct, sir. This is one of the reasons why we are
stressing that the element of animus lucrandi is absent or has
never been established by the complainant, for how can our
alleged or purported actions be considered furtive and
surreptitious when these vehicles are within our actual
possession and control?. There cannot even be an act of force
in the taking of the motor vehicles.
11
are the purported motor vehicles not within her control and
possession?. Why are the purported motor vehicles not within
her residence at Unidos, Plaridel, Misamis Occidental but
instead within the compound of our [Kylie Mae and Kyle John]
father?.
16.Q: What can you say to the list of motor vehicles that were
accordingly stolen?
A: Aside from an ISUZU truck Elf, color Black, bearing plate no.
KEU 922, there is no certainty in the description of the other
motorcycles. We are even confused of a Kawasaki motorcycle
and thence a big bike 1000cc motorcycle because we think
these are one and the same.
17.Q: According to the complainant that these motor vehicles which were
placed in the compound of ROLANDO B. EDRALIN were transferred to the
land of respondent ALFREDO B. EDRALIN. What can you say to this?.
A: As far as we [Kylie Mae and Kyle John] are concerned, after our [Kylie
Mae and Kyle John] father was murdered, there was a need for us to
preserve and protect our properties.
LUCELINE MANGAPIS also began disposing and selling the stocks and
properties of our [Kylie Mae and Kyle John] father without our knowledge,
permission and consent. This has caused so much trouble, conflict and
problem to us. We have tried to padlock the warehouses owned by our
father where several stocks and supplies were kept. But LUCELINE
MANGAPIS would forcefully break and destroy locks and even trespass our
properties. Thus, we are now even preparing the filing of criminal cases
against her and her cohorts.
12
There are several motor vehicles owned by us [Kylie Mae and Kyle John]
and father, in co-ownership. Some of these motor vehicles are under our
control, possession, and safekeeping. These included some of the motor
vehicles the complainant listed in this case. These are kept and placed in
the compound owned by our [Kylie Mae and Kyle John] father.
There are also motor vehicles that are in the possession of the complainant,
LUCELINE MANGAPIS.
13
Worst, she has caused so much mental stress, emotional and
psychological stress to a minor, KYLE JOHN A. EDRALIN.
17-D.Q: Did you entertain any illegal intent to gain from the
transfer of the motor vehicles?
A: No, sir.
17-F.Q: Did you not feel that these motor vehicles were safe
within the compound of your father?
A: We did not feel safe and secure because LUCELINE
MANGAPIS had constantly been barging and illegally
trespassing into the compound together with her cohorts,
even destroying the padlocks we placed in the warehouses,
and then removing stocks and supplies, without our
permission and consent. In fact, so much trouble, chaos and
problem has arisen every time she will do it.
This just goes to show and prove that the acts charged against the
respondents cannot be described as furtive, secretive and surreptitious.
14
There is a total absence of an allegation in complainant’s affidavit
and her witnesses whereupon the prosecutor could deduce from to make
a conclusion or determination of an illegal intent to gain.
18.Q: What did you feel from the complaint against you?.
A: It’s like rubbing salt to an injury from a person complicit to the crime.
Not just a simple injury, but death of our father/brother.
We are appalled and shocked by the gull of LUCELINE MANGAPIS, who not
only betrayed her husband, but is complicit to the crime. We feel so angry,
and sad. We cannot fathom the emotions in us. We suffered sleepless
nights, mental anxiety and loss of appetite.
Worst, we learned just recently that the gunman, Alejandro Iman, was also
shot and murdered a few days ago, perhaps in a bid to forever silence him.
