dangerous driving methods and verbal insults towards my father. In an attempt to avoid any altercation, my father opted to ignore the respondent.

Made as integral part of this Affidavit- Complaint is the screen

Art. 282. Grave threats. — Any person who shall
threaten another with the infliction upon the person, honor or property of the latter or of his family of any wrong amounting to a crime, shall suffer: X X X 2. The penalty of arresto mayor and a fine not exceeding 500 pesos, if the threat shall not have been made subject to a condition.
X X X
6. According to our existing laws and jurisprudence, the elements
of grave threats not subject to a condition are as follows: (i) that the offender threatens another person with the infliction upon the latter's person, honor or property, or upon that of the latter's family, of any wrong; (ii) that such wrong amounts to a crime; and (iii) that the threat is not subject to a condition. This felony is consummated as soon as the threats come to the knowledge of the person threatened (Paera vs. People, G.R. No. 181626, May 30,2011, citing People vs. Villanueva, Nos. 3133-3144- R, 27 February 1950,48 O.G. 1376 (No.4), 1381).
7. Anchoring on the foregoing, the first element is present in this
case. Respondent threatened to inflict upon my family any wrong by saying that he will kill my father. 8. The second element is likewise present. The threatening facebook message could amount to homicide or murder, depending on the circumstances.
9. Lastly, the threat of respondent, was apparently not subject to a
condition.
10. Accordingly, I am executing this Complaint-Affidavit for the
purpose of attesting the truth of the foregoing statements and to charge the RESPONDENT _______ with the crime of Grave Threat as defined by Article 282 of the Revised Penal Code and penalized by paragraph 2 of the same Article.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 3rd day of
