CROSS-EXAMINATION

1) Counsel: You said in your direct exam that you were tasked to do patrol in Brgy. Saimsim,
Calamba City on the night the incident happened. While on patrol, how far were you from the
place of the incident?

Ms. Witness.

P: Yes. Ma’am.

3) Counsel: How is it possible that you were able to hear the scream from a few blocks away.

by patrolling I was called to the scene.

4) Counsel: So you’re telling this court that you did not personally hear the cry for help by the
victims.

P: Ahhm. No.

5) Counsel: So you just assumed from the report of the said bystander that there was a crime
committed which warranted you to proceed to the crime scene?

P: Yes.

6) Counsel: So when you proceeded to the crime scene, did you asked who screamed?

P: Yes. It was grandma who shouted. She told me that Wolf attacked them and that someone
defended them from their attacker, who in the process killed Wolf.

7) Counsel: Was this person who the Grandma was talking about present in the crime scene?

P: At first he was not. But while the crime laboratory experts were sweeping up the crime scene,
a man approached me. He introduced himself as Wood Katter, the man responsible for the death of
Wolf as a way of defending Grandma and Red.

8) Counsel: So let me just clarify this, he surrendered himself and confessed that he was the one
responsible for the crime as a way of defense of the person of Grandma and Red?
