COUNTER AFFIDAVIT

I, PEDRO B. LUNA, legal age, single, and a resident of Brgy.

Sambag, Jaro, Iloilo City after being duly sworn in accordance with
law, hereby depose and state that:
1. I am a newly assigned Manager of a Home Depot located
atJaro Iloilo City. In lieu to this new assignment, I decided to
transfer my residence at Brgy. Sambag, Jaro, Iloilo City
which is near my workplace.

2. On January 8, 2020, I was standing outside a convenient

store which is a block away from my residence and was
smoking a cigarette when Juan de la Cruz alyas Jun-jun
approached me holding a half empty bottle of liquor. He was
obviously drunk at that time. He could not speak clearly and
told me that he barely saw me in the neighborhood.

3. I don’t really know him but he was known to be a “notorious

drunkard” in our community as I always saw him drunk and
talking nonsense things to everybody although he is a
decent person if he is not intoxicated by alcohol.
 4. I just ignored everything that he was saying because I know
that he was drunk. He keeps on getting my attention by
constantly punching my left shoulder.

5. He was talking about a certain girl named Joy L. Marikit who

is also my neighbor. He was kept on telling me that she
broke up with him several years ago. As he was expressing
how devastated he was because of his heartache, he
forcefully punched me at my left shoulder. I felt pain on my
left shoulders as it was a really heavy blow. Because of the
annoyance that he caused me by constantly punching me
and his last hit that he made on my left shoulder, I grabbed
his collar and I punched him in his face once.

6. There were two by standers and the owner of the

convenience store who saw the incident. The one of the by
standers told me that “Kangina ya pa ka ginasinabaran.
Angay lang na sa iya kay masabad sya.”

7. I immediately left the scene, leaving him sitting on the

ground.

8. This Counter Affidavit is being executed to attest to the truth

of all foregoing facts and events and to disclaim all the
accusations against me.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto affixed my signature

on this 22nd day of January, 2020 at Iloilo City.

PEDRO B. LUNA
Affiant

SUBSCRIBED AND SWORN to before me this 22nd day of

January, 2020 at Iloilo City.
 I hereby CERTIFY that I have personally examined the affiant
and that I am satisfied that he has voluntarily executed and
understood his Counter-Affidavit.
