AFFIDAVIT OF WITNESS
I, SATURNINO JAMIL, fifty-nine (59) years old, Filipino, married and a resident of Purok 15,
Brgy. Cabinuangan, New Bataan, Compostela Valley Province, after having been duly sworn to in
accordance with law, depose and state THAT:

1. I am presently the Purok Chairman of Purok 15, Barangay Cabinuangan, Municipality of New
Bataan, Compostela Valley Province. I was a supporter and was employed as the purok campaign
leader in my purok or area. I was therefore hired and paid to organize the campaign team with 6
other members who are my close neighbors, prepare election campaign paraphernalia, install
campaign posters at the designated places and conduct campaign throughout our Purok or area by
and for the benefit of the slate of barangay candidates headed by then-candidate and now the
incumbent Punong Barangay SERGIO A. MABASA;

3. I was being accused of vote buying during the 2018 Barangay Election by the losing candidate,
MR. CORSINO TEREC, the political opponent of Brgy. Captain Mabasa, to which accusations I
strongly deny for being malicious, unfounded, and calculated to harass me and the winning
candidates in our Barangay, especially our Barangay Captain;

4. In truth, the total campaign contract package was eight thousand five hundred fifty pesos only
(P8,550.00) for fifteen (15) days of work, inclusive of the five (5) days of preparation and tens (10)
days campaign period. My purok is categorized to be small, consisting only of more or less fifty (50)
households with more or less 120 registered voters.

5. I only had two (2) members in my team, as this number is sufficient to carry out our campaign
tasks. On April 28, 2018, I received an advance fund of P1,800 to cover for the snacks and other
incidental expenses. Just before the campaign period, I received another sum of P2250 as
compensation for the five (5) days of preparation.

6. Our contract was actually a compensation for each member of the campaign team at P150.00/day
and snacks of P40.00/day/member only. On the last day of campaign period or May 12, 2018, I
received the remaining balance of four thousand five hundred pesos (P4,500.00) only for the
compensation of the campaign team covering the 10-day campaign period, which amount I divided
to pay my two members.

7. My act of handing over of the shares to my colleagues must have mistaken by the camp of Mr.
Terec as vote buying. Never did I influence nor persuade any person to vote for somebody during
the election in exchange for money;

8. That I executed this affidavit to attest the truthfulness of the foregoing facts.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I hereby affixed my signature this ___________________ in
