ANSWER
AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSES
3.
14. The above facts can be fully attested to by PSMS Baleos and
Patrolman Caluza ( Copy of Affidavit of PSMS Mar Santiago L
Baleos and Patrolman Leander B Caluza hereto attached and
marked as exhibits I and 2);
17. It was during the said meeting that respondent learned for
the first time that PLTCOL Jabagat lodged a complaint
against him for allegedly having uttered profane and insulting
word against him sometime in the third week of December of
the previous year;
4
.
6.
30. Simply put the affidavits of witnesses Sumono and Saliwan
which became the basis of the filing of the instant case, were
executed not of their own volition but out of submission to the
desires of PLTCOL Jabagat and his wife Cynthia and contains
distorted facts, thus their testimonies bears no probative value
therefore this administrative complaint against respondent
must henceforth be DISMISSED.
32. Such findings is not only unbelievable but likewise defies the
basic tenets of logic;
7.
Respondent will never utter any profane and insulting word
against PLTCOL Jabagat in the midst of people who are related
to said officer
36. Aside from being fully aware of the fact that NUP Cynthia
Jabagat is the wife of PLTCOL Jabagat, it has not likewise
escaped respondent’s consciousness that most of the other
personnel of Hernani MPS are closely related to the said
Officer;
39. Moreover, the exact term which respondent stated were only
innocent and fair comments. Albeit uncalled for, such
utterance was merely suggestive of what to his mind was the
fairest treatment that should have been accorded to their
Officer-in-Charge.
42. All told, it is therefore clear from the foregoing that the
complaint is false, baseless and motivated by vindictiveness,
warranting its outright dismissal.
