UNDERSIGNED COUNSEL, to this Honorable Court, respectfully
states that:
1. He received a notice and order from this Honorable Court
showing that he is the counsel for the private prosecution. This maybe on account of his appearance as counsel for the private complainant before the office of the Provincial Prosecutor when this case was yet at the preliminary investigation stage;
2. However, he already informed the private complainant that he
may not be able to represent her once this case is filed before the proper court for some personal reasons to which the private complainant gave her assent;
3. He would like to formally manifest before this Honorable Court
that he had not and is not entering his appearance as counsel for the private prosecution and in the event is his appearance as such is already made of record the same please be withdrawn.
