B. FACTS OF THE CASE, AND PURPOSES:

Q-4 Mr. Witness, you said that you have some personal knowledge about
some facts of this instant case, can you tell briefly before this Honorable
Court your personal knowledge about this case?

A-4: Yes Sir, my personal knowledge about this instant case are as
follows:

1. I am one (1) of four (4) security guards assigned at Pitong Daan

Subdivision which is part of the United BF Homes;

2. During that time I and Edgar Mendez were the guards on duty on
the night of June 29, 1991, starting at 7:00 o’clock in the evening until
7:00 o’clock in the morning of June 30, 1991.

3. On June 30, 1991, at around 6:00 a.m., a homeowner called my

attention on the incident the previous night at the Vizconde house. I
immediately proceeded to said house where there were already many
people. The housemaids of the Vizcondes led me to the entrance at the
kitchen and pointed to the master’s bedroom. Upon entering the room,
I saw the bloodied bodies of the victims: two (2) were on top of the
bed, and one (1) lying down on the floor. I am familiar with Mrs.
Vizconde, Carmela and Jennifer because they were kind to us and
usually greeted us.

4. I saw that Mrs. Vizconde was gagged and her hands tied, while
Jennifer was also lying on top of the bed. Carmela was lying on her
back with one (1) of her legs raised, her dress pulled up and her
genitals exposed. I also noticed that the TV was still on with loud
sound. I went out to call the police but I met our Security Chief whom
I informed about the killings at the Vizconde house. I proceeded
directly to the entrance/guard post of the subdivision and was told by
Mendez (Partner in my night ship) that there were already policemen
who had arrived.

5. Having been apprised of the arrival of the police, I returned to the

Vizconde house to observe what was going on. I saw the policemen
already investigating the crime scene and one (1) of them I later came
to know as Gerardo Biong. There was also a woman who was with
Biong when he was conducting the investigation inside the Vizconde
premises at the garage area. The maids were being asked if they were
able to hear the breaking of the main door’s glass frame, and I saw
Biong in the act of further breaking the remaining glass.

6. I also recognized other homeowners who were also there, including

Michael Gatchalian who passed by infront of the house. Afterwards, I
returned to their guard post where their Officer-in-Charge (OIC), Justo
Cabanacan, probed me and Mendez on anything we had observed the
previous night. We told Cabanacan that we did not notice anything
unusual except "Mike" (Michael Gatchalian) and his friends entering
and exiting the subdivision gate ("labas-masok").

7. I recounted that Mike’s group entered the subdivision on the night

of June 29, 1991. Upon approaching the gate, Mike’s car slowed down
on the hump. I was about to flag down and verify ("sisitahin") but
Mike (who was at the right front seat) immediately opened his
window to show his face and pointed to two (2) vehicles behind him
as his companions. Because of their policy allowing outsiders to enter
the subdivision as long as they are accompanied by a homeowner, I
and Mendez just let the three (3) vehicles in (Mike was in the first
car). That was actually the second time I saw Mike and his "barkada"
that night because I had earlier seen them at Vinzons St. near the
Gatchalian residence. However, I could no longer remember the
precise time I saw the group on these two (2) instances.

8. On the night of June 30, 1991, policemen took me from the Pitong
Daan Subdivision Homeowners’ Association and brought me to the
Parañaque Municipal Building. Biong was forcing me to admit that I
was one (1) of those who killed the Vizconde women. Biong boxed
me insisting I was among the perpetrators and had no mercy for the
victims. I and Mendez were later fetched by our Chief of Security in
Pitong Daan Subdivision Homeowners’ Association, Nestor
Potenciano Jr., and OIC Justo Cabanacan.31 Biong had also taken our
logbook where we list down the names of visitors, plate number of
vehicles, name and street of the homeowner they were staying at, etc.
However, when presented with the alleged logbook, I noticed that it
was not the same logbook, I could not recognize its cover and could
 not categorically confirm the entries supposedly made in my own
handwriting.

21. Q: In connection to this case do you remember having executed a

judicial affidavit?
A: Yes, Sir.

22. Q: Is this the judicial affidavit?

A: Yes, Sir.

23. Q: Is this your signature on the affidavit?

A: Yes, Sir.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this day of 11th Day of
February 1995, at Quezon City, Philippines.
