other. At that point, Michelle asked about her birthday cake to which ________ responded Hindi yata nagawa eh..

That on the days that followed, Johnny was surprised to receive a call from Ms. ________, asking him to testify against ________ who allegedly touched her buttocks that night, on the occasion that they were together. Said request was bluntly refused by Johnny since he knew that no such thing ever happened that night as they were even very friendly with each other on that occasion. On the part of _________________ who was the Security Detachment Commander of The company, he confirmed the facts as relayed by ___________________ and the Dance Instructor Johnny de Leon and relayed that he witnessed such friendly encounter of the The company President with the said Dance Instructors as he was then manning the reception table outside of the dance floor.

From the facts gathered in the subject investigation, no probability exists whatsoever to warrant any finding of irregularity on ________s dealings with the lady companion of Atty. ________. These findings are based on the absence of any evidence to support such written complaint, as may be gleaned from the impossibility that such highly scandalous scene will happen unnoticed and unreported in a well lighted place where more than 350 members and guests were in attendance. Said impossibility was likewise attested to by persons who are present at the incident as alleged, and who testified that no such incident happened that night as the parties involved are very cordial with each other. In fact, had such highly scandalous incident as alleged really happened and witnessed by the letter sender, Atty. ________, he could have confronted ________ at the very same instance as the same may be considered a personal insult to him since the subject of the same is a lady companion of his. There being no evidence submitted to this effect, this investigation body can never give any credence to the complaint This report is being made in compliance with the directive given to the undersigned to investigate on the matter.
