COUNTER-AFFIDAVIT

I, JULES A. DICTION, married, of legal age, Filipino, with residence at 420

Goods St., Di Mahanap sa Waze, Tangan-tangan City, after having been
duly sworn in accordance with law, hereby depose and state: THAT

1. I am the same person who is the respondent in the instant case;

2. Paragraphs 2, 3, 4, and 5 of the affidavit of Chena Lyn P. Diction are

ADMITTED.

3. As regards paragraphs 6 and 7, the truth is: I became really

depressed after being terminated from my job but it is not true that I
get mad to her and our children easily. In fact, since I was always at
home, I had more time bonding with my children.
4. Paragraph 8 is DENIED. Although it is true that I became more
stressed because of unpaid billings, I never cursed in front of my
wife.

5. Paragraphs 9, 10, 13, and 14 are DENIED. I never hurt the

complainant. During those times, we were always fighting but I never
laid my hands on my wife.

6. As regards paragraphs 13, the truth of the matter are as follows: On

April 1, 2021, it was complainant’s first day of work. She previously
informed me that her shift was from 8:00 O’clock in the morning to
5:00 O’clock in the afternoon. It was already 6:00 O’clock in the
evening and she has not arrived home yet. I tried calling her several
times but she did not answer. I was worried about her so I decided
to call some college friends over. The complainant arrived around
11:00 O’clock in the evening. During that time, I was having a few
drinks with my college friends. I noticed that she was driven home by
as guy with a car. When we entered our house, I asked her who that
guy was. She shouted at me and said, “Wala ka na don! Sawang-
sawa na ako sa’yo! Ako pa ang kailangang magtrabaho para sa atin!
Mabuti pa ang ibang lalake dyan! Wala kang kwenta!” Enraged, I
threw her bag and some papers on the table in our living room. She
also started throwing her things to me. My friends and our children
approached us and tried to stop us. As a result of the commotion,
our son, Lancelot, fell on the ground and was slightly hurt.

7. Paragraph 14 is DENIED. I never had a confrontation with the

complainant’s mother.

8. Paragraph 15 is DENIED. The truth of the matter are as follows: I

was watching my son and our neighbour’s son play outside when I
heard my son said, “Umay ka! Madaya!!” I apprehend my son right at
that very moment. I admonished him and told him that he should not
be saying bad words. However, I never hit my son.

9. The filing of the complaint is the complainant’s way of leaving me

because she intends to be with his paramour already. I have been
 noticing that since she started applying for a job, there has been
always someone who drops her off a few blocks away from our
house. Also she always gets calls and text messages late in the
evening. And on the day the complainant left me, she told me that
she deserves someone better than me, like his co-worker.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto affixed my signature this 16 th day

of April 2021 in the City of Tangan-tangan, Philippines.

Jules A. Diction
Respondent/Affiant

SUBSCRIBED AND SWORN TO before me this April 18, 2021 in the of

Tangan-tangan, Philippines.
