CRIMINAL COMPLAINT AFFIDAVIT

I, Rose Anne D. Bala, the undersigned, of legal age, and a resident of #21
Galicia Street, Sampaloc Manila, accuses Carlito A. Diaz and Wilfred O.
Revilla of the crime of Robbery, committed as follows:

1. At around 11:30PM of Saturday, July 21, 2012, I, Rose Anne D. Bala was
passing by P. Noval Street, Sampaloc Manila to my apartment at #21 Galicia
Street, Sampaloc, Manila;

2. While I was passing by the said street, I was holding a shoulder bag on my
right arm and a book on the left arm, walking in a moderate pace towards
Espana Boulevard;

3. That at P. Noval Street, before I cross Espana Boulevard, two men riding a
motorcycle stopped in front of me. The man riding at the back, holding a
“balisong” which was pointed at me said, “akin na ang bag mo kung ayaw
mong may mangyaring masama sa’yo”;

4. Because of terrible fear that the man would stab me if I did not give my bag
to him, I handed him my bag containing the following:
a. A brown Guess wallet with Identification cards, ATM card and a credit
card inside together with a cash worth two thousand pesos (P2,000.00).
b. A black Blackberry Curve
c. A Samsung galaxy tab SIII
d. School materials such as a blue notebook and a pen case;
5. That after the man took my shoulder bag, I screamed loudly the words
“magnanakaw! Magnanakaw! Habulin ninyo!”;

6. That maybe because of twist of luck, a police car passed by right after the
said incident which immediately chased the two men in motorcycle. They
crossed Espana Boulevard and I already lost sight of them after several
seconds;

7. That the two men, as I remembered, were both wearing jackets; the man in
front, driving was wearing a blue jacket and maong pants while the man at
the back was wearing a black jacket with maong pants. The man in front was
wearing a helmet while the man at the back was wearing a black cap;

8. The motorcycle was a red Yamaha motorcycle and instead of a plate number,
a plate with the words “for registration” was visible from the back;

9. Both men are of normal built, appeared to be “kayumanggi” or brownskinned

and of average height;

10. That after a few minutes of standing at that street, a police mobile
suddenly appeared saying that the other policemen in the car which chased
the two men in the motorcycle reported the incident to them so they went to
P. Noval area and found me standing in front of a closed establishment,
almost near Espana
Boulevard;

11. That I was shaking and crying when the policemen came to get me. They
brought me to the a nearby police station where I narrated the incident;

12. After about 40 minutes in the police station, there were two policemen,
later on identified as PO2 Donna Mae Anne S. Gragasin and PO2 Mark
Arthur Catabona, who were accompanying two men who appeared to be the
men who grabbed my hand bag;

13. Later on, I positively identified the two men as those who were in the
motorcycle because of the black cap, the blue and black jackets that they
wear respectively;

14. That the shoulder bag that was snatched from me with force and
intimidation was with PO2 Catabona already who alleged that he got the
 same during the apprehension that they did. All the things inside my bag
were recovered in good condition;

15. That all these stated herein are true and were stated freely without any
force or intimidation done against me;

16. To attest to the truthfulness of the foregoing, I, Rose Anne D. Bala,

complainant, attaches my signature below.
