my phone with him, but he said the phone was not with him;
6. That on the next day, we met at the waiting shed in Shaw

but he insisted that the said phone is his which he bought two weeks
ago and he rarely used that;
8. That I referred the incident to the barangay for mediation
proceedings but Justin refused to obey the summons sent to him.
Hence, I was advised by the barangay secretary who happens to be a
lawyer to file a criminal action against Justin, after I was issued a
certificate to file action by the barangay;
9. In view of the foregoing, I am executing this Affidavit to
support the filing of a criminal case for theft against JUSTIN BIEBER.
