III. JUDICIAL AFFIDAVIT PROPER

 I, REYMART YAN, of legal age, single, Filipino, and resident of No. 63 San
Martin St., Brgy. Hulo, Mandaluyong City, under oath, depose:

1. Q : What are the reasons why you voluntarily came to this Office?
A : Because I want to execute a judicial affidavit in defense of the
malicious mischief charge filed by GRETCHEN BARRETTO against CLAUDINE
BARRETO;

2. Q : For the record, please state the name and address of the
Lawyer who is now conducting or supervising your examination and the place
where the examination is being held now?
A : The private counsel for the accused, Atty. REILOUS
FALCUTILA, is conducting or supervising my examination now at his law office
located at: 114 C. Santos Street, Bagong Ilog, Pasig City.

3. Q : Do you undertake to answer the questions to be asked of you,

fully conscious that you will do so under oath, and that you may face criminal
liability for false testimony or perjury?
A : Yes.

4. Q : Let us now proceed. On May 21, 2019, at about 10:00PM do

you recall what happened on that day?
A : Yes, Attorney. It was late in the evening and I was having
dinner with my girlfriend, CLAUDINE BARRETO, the accused in this case.

5. Q : Did you leave your residence an hour after or before 10:00PM

?
A : No, Attorney. I was home having a good time with my girlfriend
from the morning of the said date until the next day. She did not leave my sight as I
even accompanied her to the bathroom.

6. Q : Do you have any other proof to validate such claims?

A : Yes. I installed a CCTV in the living room of CLAUDINE
BARRETO’S apartment. The CCTV footage shows that from 9:00 PM until 10:30 PM,
CLAUDINE BARRETO and I were preparing dinner in the kitchen and eventually ate
dinner in front of the TV watching Netflix.

7. Q : Do you remember anything after 10:00PM of the said date?

A : Yes, at around 10:30 in the evening of the said date, the
Complainant arrived at my house banging the door and creating a scene outside of
my residence. She was accusing me then that I was the one who destroyed her wire
fence.

8. Q : What did you do then?

A : I was astounded and shocked at such allegations from the
Complainant. I did not confront nor argue with her, even if she was uttering
scandalous and profane words against CLAUDINE BARRETO as my girlfriend asked
me to stay out of it.

9. Q : What happened next, if any?

 A : CLAUDINE BARRETO was invited by the Barangay for a
possible settlement.

10. Q : Did you accompany CLAUDINE BARETTO?

A : No, Attorney as we did not proceed to the Barangay.

11. Q : Why did you not heed the invitation?

A : We did not heed the invitations for two of the members of the
Lupong Tagapamayapa ng Barangay Hulo are relatives of the Complainant. Thus, it
is the ardent belief of the Accused that the Lupon will be impartial since the
Complainant has relatives.

12. Q : What do you think is the root cause of the filing of the charges
against CLAUDINE BARRETO by the Complainant?
A : Numerous times, I have observed how GRETCHEN BARRETO
shouts at her tenant ATONG ANG whenever she sees CLAUDINE BARRETO and
ATONG ANG speaking with other over the fence. As neighbors, they are cordial with
each other. There are rumors of the alleged relationship between ATONG ANG and
GRETCHEN BARRETO in the Barangay. The Complainant is known to be a jealous
woman and oftentimes, ATONG ANG and GRETCHEN BARRETO are being witnessed
by their neighbors to be fighting over text messages and the other “girlfriends” of
ATONG ANG. The instant Complaint maybe a manifestation of insecurities being
suffered by the Complainant.

13. Q : Are you willing to sign this affidavit consisting of three (3)
pages, to certify that all the statements you made are true.
A : Yes, attorney.
