COUNTER AFFIDAVIT

I, JONES GANIA PETRAS, @ “JOJO”, 40 years old, single, Filipino

and a resident of Purok III, Brgy. Baluntay, Alabel, Sarangani Province,
after having been duly sworn to in accordance with law, hereby depose and
state;

1. That, herein affiant is the respondent in Crim. Case No. 00484-17

and Crim. Case No. 00485-17, for ALLEGED GRAVE THREAT and SLIGHT
PHYSICAL INJURY, respectively.

2. That, herein affiant vehemently denied the allegations imputed

against me by Jimuel Manos Abarquez, the truth being;

3. That, herein affiant was working in San Lorenzo Ruiz Farm located
in Purok IV-B, Brgy. Baluntay, Alabel, Sarangani Province. I was tasked to
place fertilizers on the planted corn.

4. That, on September 27, 2018, about 1:00 in the afternoon, when

herein affiant was placing some fertilizers on the corn, I noticed that the
work of Jimuel M. Abarquez was not properly done. That some of the
fertilizers were placed at the grasses and not on the roots of the corn. That
I told him to work properly as the fertilizers will be wasted. That he was
also placing the sack of fertilizers in the side and not in its proper place.
While we were conversing, herein complainant was so arrogant and then
he suddenly boxed me but I managed to elude and I boxed him also hitting
his face.

5. That, after the incident, he immediately went to the police and filed
a complaint against the herein respondent without passing through
barangay conciliation. However, on January 03, 2018, an AFFIDAVIT OF
DESISTANCE was executed by the Complainant, after realizing that the
Complaint filed against herein affiant was frivolous and unfounded, which
is hereto attached as Annex “A”.

6. That, such Affidavit of Desistance was executed with his free will
and volition purposely to drop and close the Complaints against me.

7. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this ____ day

of January 2018 at Alabel, Sarangani Province, Philippines.

JONES G. PETRAS

SUBSCRIBED AND SWORN to before me this ___ day of January

2018 at Alabel, Sarangani Province, Philippines. I HEREBY CERTIFY that I
have personally examined the herein affiant and that I am fully satisfied
that he voluntarily executed and understood his affidavit.
