I am submitting this Judicial Affidavit as WITNESS for

the PRIVATE COMPLAINANT in the case entitled PEOPLE OF
THE PHILIPPINES VS. MARINO CAREPIANO, JR. and PAZ
CECILIA BELICANO, before the RTC, Branch 48, Bacolod
City, and pursuant to A.M. No. 12-8-8-SC (Judicial Affidavit
Rule) of the Supreme Court.

The name of the lawyer who conducted or supervised

my examination is Atty. Pacifico M. Maghari III, with office
address located at 590 Ylac St., Villamonte, Bacolod City.
Such examination was conducted in the same office address
on ____ March, 2014.

The purpose of my testimony is to prove that there

were illegal pullouts of sugarcane done in eleven separate
instances by MARINO CAREPIANO, JR. and that said pullouts
were made thru a truck with plate number NAV-727.

I answered the questions asked herein fully conscious

that I do so under oath and that I may face criminal liability
for false testimony or perjury, to wit:

Q1: Good day, Mr. Banhao. What is your complete name

and other personal circumstances in relation to the present
case?

A1: My name is RANILO (middle initial) BANHAO, of

legal age, Filipino, single, and a resident of insert present
exact address, insert present occupation, Bacolod City,
Philippines. I work as one of the “cabo” or farm overseers in
Hacienda Ambulong for almost 8-9 years already with the

1
special designation of keeping the LOGBOOK of sugarcane
pullouts made therefrom.

Q2: Do you know the accused Marino Carepiano Jr. in this

case?

A2: Yes, he is one of the farm managers (encargado) of

Hacienda Ambulong.

Q3: How do you know this?

A3: We work together and he does sugarcane pullouts and

whenever he does so, I personally record the same in my
logbook.

Q4: What is the reason why you are testifying as a witness

today?

A4: I was informed by our Farm Manager, Mr. Santiago

Ledesma, that there were suspected inconsistencies in
recent sugarcane pullouts. And so, I was requested to
produce the logbook that I was maintaining.

Q5: What did you discover from the logbook records?

A5: It was discovered that the accused Marino Carepiano

Jr. illegally harvested sugarcanes from Hacienda Ambulong
on eleven (11) separate instances using his truck with plate
number NAV-727.

Q6: Do you have evidence showing this allegation?

A6: Yes. I have with me the subject logbook entries. The

illegal pull out of sugar canes by the accused Marino
Carepiano, Jr. is evidenced by the farm’s LOGBOOK ENTRIES
clearly showing the pull-outs which he loaded on his truck
with plate number NAV-727. (showing logbook)

Q7: I am now attaching the evidence of the eleven (11)

separate instances of illegal pull-outs as Annexes “A” –
“A-12” of your Judicial Affidavit.

You mentioned the truck with plate number NAV-727 which

accused Carepiano used. As far as you know, who is the
owner of this truck?

2
A7: Marino Carepiano Jr. is the owner of the truck with plate
number NAV-727. That fact is of common knowledge in the
hacienda.

Q8: Do you have evidence of this?

A8: Yes. I have with me VOUCHERS evidencing trucking

rentals for sugarcane hauling from Hacienda Ambulong to
VMC (Victorias Milling Company) for the truck with plate
number NAV-727. These rentals were paid to and received
by accused Marino Carepiano, Jr. (showing vouchers)

Q9: (Analyzing vouchers) These vouchers say: Prepared by:

rbp. Who is this rbp?

A9: Those are my initials, Sir. I prepared these vouchers.

(KINDLY VERIFY) (IF RANILO IS NOT RBP, WE MUST
PRESENT RBP AS ANOTHER WITNESS BECAUSE THE
VOUCHERS’ CONTENTS WILL BE HEARSAY IF BANHAO IS
NOT RBP.)
