AFFIDAVIT OF DESISTANCE

         I, FERDINAND M. GERON, Filipino, of legal age, married, and with

office address at Pure Finance Corporation, 1234 Chino Roces Avenue,
Makati City, after having been duly sworn to in accordance with law, depose
and state:

1. That I am the authorized representative of PURE FINANCE CORPORATION,

the private complainant in Criminal Case No. 111222 against REY L. MAPA
for violation of Batas Pambansa Bilang 22 pending before the Metropolitan
Trial Court of Makati City, Branch 62 (copy of the Secretary's Certificate is
hereto attached as Annex "A" and form and integral part hereof; 

2. That after a careful evaluation of the facts surrounding the case, I came to
realize that the case arose out of misapprehension of facts and that the
account of the accused has already been settled even prior to the filing of
this case;

3. That I have decided not to pursue the case against the accused considering
that under the circumstances, it will be extremely difficult for the
prosecution to secure conviction of the accused;
4. That because of the foregoing reasons, I am now desisting in the further
prosecution of the case and will no longer testify against the accused.

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

of August 2013 at Makati City, Philippines.
