AFFIDAVIT OF WITNESS

I, Marites Chicadora, 40 years old, married, street vendor and a resident of

No. 115 Legarda, Sampaloc, Manila, after having been duly sworn to in accordance
with law, do hereby depose and state that:

1. On November 21, 2023 at 9:05 AM, while going home from selling boiled
egg, peanut and other merchandise in front of IDC Building, I saw
WINSTON VIERNEZ rushing away from his house wearing white T-shirt
stained with suspected blood on the lower part;

2. The said situation gave the undersigned a strange feeling seeing Winston
Viernez uneasy and suspicious. However, the undersigned did not mind it
at all;

3. An hour after, I heard my neighbor Aurelia Dela Merced, shouting and

crying for help. I immediately ran and discovered that her daughter,
Princess Dela Merced was found dead;

4. During the conduct of the investigation, I approached the investigator and

stated what I saw on that day and upon request agreed to accompany them
in the follow-up operation to positively identify and arrest the suspect; and

5. I am executing this affidavit to attest to the truthfulness of the foregoing

facts and circumstances.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto affix my signature this 22nd day of

November 2023, Manila, Philippines.

Marites Chicadora
Affiant

SUBSCRIBED AND SWORN to before me this 22nd day of November 2023,
