(“MECO”), a Limited Partnership duly organized and existing under Philippine laws, with business addresses at Unit 1116 Cityland Shaw Tower, Saint Francis Street corner Shaw Bivd,, Mandaluyong City, Metro Manila and #35-8 Sarita Street, Diamond Subdivision, Brgy. Balibago, Angeles City, Pampanga. | am duly authorized to execute this Complaint-Aifidavit in behalf of MECO by virtue of the Special Power of Attorney dated 16 October 2009 which was executed by Matilde R Haynes (’Ms. Haynes”) and Partnership Resolution dated 16 October 2009 which were executed by Ms. Haynes and Mr, Norman Haynes (Mr. Haynes”), limited partner of MECO. Copies of the Special Power of Attorney and Partnership Resolution are respectively attached hereof as Annexes “A and “BY. 2 MECO is principally engaged in the business of conducting exploratory Grilling, electronic prospecting, and excavatory search for the ultimate recovery of potable water, or precious metals, and other valuables located upon, within or below Privately owned real estate, public lands/waters, and real estate purchased by MECO, and any other acts, activities or undertaking reasonably required or necessary to carry out the foregoing purposes. A copy of MECO’s Article of Partnership is attached hereof as Annex “C”, 3. __A former consultant of MECO is Respondent MR. TONY BRIAN HORN ( Respondent’), an American National and a pastor of Trinity Baptist Church Respondent's last known postal address is at Sapang Biabas, Dau, Mabelecat, Pampanga. 4. Sometime in the second quarter of 2007, Respondent entered into an oral consultancy agreement with MECO through one of its partners, Mr. Haynes Respondent worked with MECO for more than one (1) year as consultant and adviser on matters relating to the business activities, undertaking and operations of MECO. As consultant, Respondent had been entrusted with the management of MECO’s branch oifice in Angeles City, Pampanga, especially when Mr. and Ms. Haynes were either in their Quezon City office or outside the Philippines meeting with prospective investors of MECO. Respondent is also charged with the custody of funds for the daily operation of MECO and has a hand in the preparation of MECO’s employee payroll. 5. Thus, Respondent inevitably had access to the business files and documents of MECO, including those stored in the computer, considering that Mr. and Ms. Haynes fully reposed their trust and confidence to Respondent, owing to the fact that Respondent was a pastor and is actively taking part in Bible Missions all over the country. 6 Sometime in the month of April 2007 and onwards, several of MECO’S office files and documents, such as its payroll register and contract of employment began to disappear and were unaccounted for. Although there were some rumors circulating within the office of MECO in Angeles City, Pampanga that Respondent was the one who surreptitiously took the missing files, Mr. and Ms. Haynes did not believe then that Respondent is capable of doing such despicable acts. However, the talks among the employees privy in the day to day operation of MECO in its Angeles City office had persisted, pointing to Respondent as the culprit in the disappearance of MECO’s files, In fact, one of the employees of MECO, Ms. Shayne A. Fairbanks (Ms. Fairbanks”), the personal secretary of Mr. Haynes, personally saw Respondent took out her files and documents from her drawer without her consent and that of the Company. Upon inspection of her drawer she found out that MECO’s SEC Certificate of Registration, land titles, official reveipt/certificate of registration of several cars, and other documents were already missing. A copy of Ms. Fairbanks’s Swom Affidavit dated 16 October 2009 attesting to the foregoing incidents is attached hereof as Annex “DY. 7. It must be emphasized that Ms. Fairbanks personally reported the afore- mentioned incidents to Mr. and Ms. Haynes. Since then, Mr. and Ms. Haynes became wary of the real motive of Respondent in taking out MECO’s files without their knowledge and consent, considering that, as confided by Mr. and Ms. Haynes to Ms. Fairbanks, Respondent, on various occasions, told them that he wanted to resign. Thus, Iwas told heard Mr. and Ms. Haynes instructed Ms. Fairbanks to be on guard and keep a close watch of Respondent's activities in the office. 8 On October 2009, Mr. and Ms. Haynes finally decided to accept the long overdue resignation of Respondent. Thus, when Respondent arrived from his vacation in Israel, he was accordingly told that his resignation was accepted and he has until the end of the month to move out his personal things from the office. 9 Shortly after Respondent left MECO, an inventory audit was conducted by the MECO’s INVENTORY DEPARTMENT. In the said audit, it was found out that several important files and documents were missing. Likewise, two (2) units of Clone Notebook laptops and a desktop computer with their corresponding accessories were unaccounted for. At this point, Mr. and Ms. Haynes investigated and confronted MECO employees regarding the missing office files, documents, and the laptop and desktop computers. Thereupon, Ms. Geene F. Villareal (“Ms. Villareal”), Ms. Riena Rose M. Valencia (Ms. Valencia”), including Ms. Fairbanks, revealed that on various occasion they respectively saw Respondent, alone or accompanied by his personal assistant Mr. Neal Cortez (Mr. Cortez”), took out the hard drive of the computer, copied MECO’s files therein using a USB Memory stick, and that some important papers under the castedy of Ms. Fairbanks were handed by her to Respondent upon the request of the latter. When asked by Mr. and Ms. Haynes why they did not immediately report these incidents to them, Ms. Villareal and Ms. Valencia answered that they did not directly report the incidents to them then because they were afraid of what Respondent might do. Knowing that Respondent was managing the affairs of MECO at that time, and the fact that Mr. and Ms. Haynes were blindingly convinced of Respondent's sincerity, Ms Villareal and Ms. Valencia opted to remain silent rather suffer the resulting consequences if they revealed Respondent's criminal acts. 10. In addition, attached hereof is the Swom Affidavit of MECO’s Secanty Guard jonathan B. Cruz (“Mr. Cruz”) as Annex “E*, attesting to the fact that sometime ‘on October 2008 he saw Respondent coming out from the office with a computer and some assorted documents and loaded the same into his car. 11. Consequently, MECO, on several occasions demanded to Respondent that he return the missing documents, two (2) units of Clone notebook laptops, and a desktop computer, with their corresponding accessories what he stole from the company. However, the Respondent obstinately refused to return afore-mentioned items. 12, Indeed, the missing office files and documents and computers with their accessories were surreptitiously taken out by Respondent from MECO’s office in Angeles City, Pampanga, as the same were inadvertently seen by me in the house of Respondent at Sapang Biabas, Dau, Mabalacat, Pampanga when I visited him on 28 September 2008. In fact, I told Respondent to return the items he took from the office, but he got mad and threatened me with serious physicai harm, and ordered me to leave his house immediately. A copy of my Swarn Affidavit attesting to the foregoing facts is hereto attached as Annex “G*. 13. Upon learning this, Mr. and Ms. Haynes instructed me to seek police assistance so that the missing items may be retrieved from the Respondent. Hence, I vient to the Philippine National Police-Regional Special Operations Group (PNP- RSOG), PROS, Camp Olivas, San Fernando, Pampanga where I was thoroughly investigated under oath by Police Inspector Norberto S. Murillo (“Insp. Murillo”). Attached hereof as Annex “HY, is a copy of the Special Power of Attorney (“SPA) dated 20 September 2009 executed by Mr. and Ms. Haynes authorizing me to undertake ‘pecescary action in the application of search warrant for the recovery of MECO’s office les, computer accessories and computers This SPA was executed beforehand by Mr. and Ms. Haynes on the basis of the reports made by Ms. Fairbanks, Ms. Villareal, Ms Valencia and Mr. Cruz that Respondent was the one who maliciously took MECO’s missing office files and computers with their accessories, in anticipation of the confirmation that the missing items were really in the custody and contro! of Respondent. 14. Convinced that I was telling the truth, Insp. Murillo lost no time to apply for search warrant with the Regional Trial Court-Third Judicial Region, Guimba, Nueva Ecija, which application for search warrant was granted by the Honorable Executive Judge Ramon D. Pamular. Copies of the Application for Search Warrant dated 01 October 2009, Honorable Executive Judge Ramon D. Pamular’s Order dated 01 October 2009 granting the Application for Search Warrant dated 01 October 2009, and the Search Warrant itself dated 01 October 2009 are attached hereof as Annexes “I”, “J”, and “K”, respectively. 15, _ Immediately thereafter, the team of Insp Murillo proceeded to the house of Respondent at Sapang Biabas, Dau, Mabelacat, Pampange and served with him the Guly issued Search Warrant. Resultantly, the searched had yielded the following items, namely. 1. Two (2) units Clone Notebook Laptop with MECO Database /Hard Drives Personal Desktop Computer with MECO File Hard Drive Records Hard Drives Two pieces USB Memory Stick CD's/Diskettes Stocks, Expenses and Financial Transaction Ledgers Certificate of Partnership Records of Partnership Participation Investors Database SOPH Or Oo f 30. Employment Contracts 1 Other assorted MECO/OPSEC files 16 Copies of the pertinent documents relating to the execution of the search warrant at Respondent's house at Saparig Biabas. Dau, Mabalacat, Pampanga consisting of the following, namely, 1) Certification of Orderly Search issued by (PNF-RSOG), PROS, Camp Olivas, San Fernando, Pampanga, 2) Seizure Receipt issued by (PNF- SOG), PRO3, Camp Olivas, San Fernando, Pampanga, and 3) the Pinagsama-samang simumpaang Salaysay dated 01 October 2009 executed under oath by Insp. Murillo, SPO! Bello Q. Borqueta and SPO1 Herman M. Limaya are attached hereof as Annexes “4, "MM", and “N", respectively. 17. Consequently, a criminal Complaint for Qualified Theft under Article 310 of the Revised Penal Code was filed against Respondent before the Office of the Provincial Prosecutor of San Fernando, Pampanga. However, in the Resolution dated 7 Cetober 2009 which was issued by Assistant Provincial Prosecutor Caliopel L- De Guzman, the Complaint for Qualified Theft under Article 310 of the Revised Penal Code against the Respondent was dismissed, because the Office of the Provincial Prosecutor of San Fernando, Pampanga allegedly has no jurisdiction to take cognizance of the case. Attached as Annex “O”, is the Resolution dated 07 October 2009. . 18. Hence, this present Complaint for Qualified Theft under Article 310 of the Revised Penal Code is hereby filed before this Honorable Office. 39, Without a doubt, Respondent is criminally liable for Qualified Theit under Article 310 of the Revised Penal Code, to wit “Art, 310. Qualified theft. - The crime of theft shall be punished by the penalties next higher by two degrees that ee ~ scely epecified in the next preceding article, if confidence, x x x x x x x [Emphasis and underscoring supplied ] 20. Moreover, theft as defined under Art. 308 of the Revised Penal Code “Art. 308. Who are liable for theft. - Theft is committed by any person who, with intent to gain but without violence against, or intimidation of persons nor force upon things, sh al property of another without the latter's consent. XxX xx xxx xxx” [Emphasis and underscoring supplied] 21, In the case of Ferdinand A. Cruz vs. The People of the Philippines, GR. No. 176504, 03 September 2008, the ruling of the Supreme Court was instructive, to wit: “The elements of the crime of theft are the following: (1) there was a taking of personal property; (2) the property belongs to another; (3) the taking was without the consent of the owner, (4) the taking was done with intent to gain; and (3) the taking was accomplished without violence or intimidation against the person or force upon things. Under Article 310 of the Revised Penal Code, theft is qualified when it is, among others, committed with grave abuse of confidence, to wit: ART. 310. Qualified thef. - The crime of theft shall be punished by the penalties next higher by two degrees than those respectively specified in the next preceding article, if committed x x x with grave idence xxx. The prosecution established, beyond the shadow of doubt that Ferdinand took and kept the fifteen thousand peso- collection from the company’s client. Although Ferdinand insists he remitted the amount personally to Luningning, this claim is self-serving. If indeed he personally delivered the P15,000.00, he would have at least required Luningning to acknowledge the receipt thereof before he parted with the same. The Court of Appeals incisively pointed out that it was implausible for Ferdinand to have acceded to executing an acknowledgment receipt in favor of Hemisphere so as to give the latter protection from his company, and yet he did not ask for some kind of receipt when he allegedly turned over the money to Luningning. Quite specious is Ferdinand’s argument that he would not have had in his possession a copy of Official Receipt No. 2242, had he not delivered the amount to Luningning. Ferdinand acquired the receipt, not because he remitted the amount, but because he took a sheet from a booklet of receipts containing Official Receipt number 2242 and issued the same to Hemisphere despite his lack of authority to do so, to maliciously induce the client into believing that he would remit the amount to Porta-Phone. The collected amount belonged to Porta-Phone and not to Ferdinand. When he received the same, he was obliged to tum it over to the company since he had no right to retain it or to use it for his own benefit, because the amount was a refundable deposit for the communication items leased out by Porta-Phone to Hemisphere. As he had kept it for himself while knowing that the amount was not his, the presence of the element of unlawful taking is settled. Intent to gain (animus lucrandi) is presumed to be alleged in an information, in which it is charged that there was unlawful taking (apoderamiento) and appropriation by the offender of the things subject of asportation. In this case, it was apparent that the reason why Ferdinand took the money was that he intended to gain by it. In the meeting held on 30 October 1996, Ferdinand admitted having received the amount and kept it until his reimbursements from the company would be released to him. x x x x The lack of consent by the owner of the asported money is manifested by the fact that Porta-Phone consistently sought the return of the same from Ferdinand in the meetings held for this purpose and in the various letters issued by the company. As a marketing manager of Porta-Phone, Ferdinand made use of his position to obtain the refundable deposit due to Porta-Phone and appropriate it for himself. He could not have taken the amount had he not been an officer of the said company. Clearly, the taking was done with grave abuse of confidence.” [Emphasis and underscoring supplied] Verily, the elements of Qualified Theft are as follows: (a) That there be taking of personal property; (©) That said property belongs to another; (d) That the taking be done without the consent of the owner; (©) That the taking be accomplished without the use of violence against or intimidation of persons or force upon things; and, lastly, (9 For theft to be qualified, the theft must be committed with grave abuse of confidence. [Luis B. Reyes, Revised Penal Code, Book II, 16% edition, 2006.] 23. On the first element, the subject business files and documents, computer laptops, desktop and computer accessories are clearly personal properties. 24. On the second element, the subject business files and documents, computer laptops, desktop and computer accessories are without doubt, owned by MECO. 25. On the third element, the taking of the subject business files and documents, computer laptops, desktop and computer accessories by Respondent is definitely for the purpose of gain. It must be noted that the two (2) units Clone Notebook Laptop and the desktop computers, by themselves, are of substantial value amounting to at least ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND PESOS (P150,000.00). 26. On the fourth element, Respondent took these personal properties without the consent of MECO. In fact, based on the evidences attached in this Complaint, it is without doubt that Respondent took the subject business files and documents, computer laptops, desktop and computer accessories, in a furtive manner, and without any authorization or consent of MECO. 27, As to the fifth element, the stealing of the subject business files and documents, computer laptops and desktop and computer accessories, was done deviously, with stealth and not through the use of force or violence. 28. Lastly, the Respondent is criminally liable for Qualified Theft under Art 310 of the Revised Penal Code because his act of stealing MECO’s property wes committed with grave abuse of confidence reposed upon him by MECO. Being a consultant and the fact that he is a personal friend of Mr. and Ms. Haynes, he was given fall trust and confidence by them to carry out his consultancy and administrative fanction in MECO with complete leeway and freedom. However, with the intention of gaining profit for himself and without the knowledge and consent of MECO, Respondent took, stole and carted away with the subject items. The stolen items, excluding the business files and documents, amount to at least ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND PESOS (P150,000.00). 29. Asa recult of Respondent's unlawful acts and omissions, MECO incurred actual damages on account of the theft of its properties amounting to ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND PESOS (P150,000.00). 30. To deter others from emulating Respondent's lead, exemplary damages in the amount of at least FIFTY THOUSAND PESOS (P50,000.00) should be awarded to MECO. 31. — To protect its interest, MECO had been constrained to institute the instant suit, for which it has incurred and expects to incur, expenses for litigation and attorney's fees in the amount of at least THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND PESOS (F300,000.00). 32. For purposes of service of subpoena and other processes, the last known address of Respondent MR. TONY BRIAN HORN is at Sapang Biabes, Dau, Mabalacet, Pampanga. 33. The foregoing facts occurred within the jurisdiction of this Honorable Office considering that the acts constituting the offense of Qualified Theft occurred within the jurisdiction of Angeles City, Pampanga, and Respondent took the subject personal properties from the office of MECO in Angeles City, Pampanga. 34. This Complaint-Affidavit has been executed to support the filing of a criminal case against MR. TONY BRIAN HORN for Qualified Theft under Article 310 of the Revised Penal Code Further, Affiant sayeth naught.

Tam the personal secretary of Mr. Norman Haynes (” Mr. Haynes”) one of the owners of Manila Exploration Co.-Annex, Ltd. ("MECO”) since 21 July 2006 to present. Our office address is located in No. 35 - 8 Sarita St, Diamond Subdivision, McArhur Highway, Brgy. Balibago, Angeles City, Pampanga (‘Office Address”). We are engaged in the conduct of exploratory drilling, electronic prospecting and excavation research. 2. also personally know Mr. Tony Brian Hom (“Mr. Hom”). He was a former contractual consultant and part of the Managerial Staff of MECO. Mr. Horn also represented himself as an evangelical minister/pastor for a certain small church group based in Angeles City. = Since he presented himself as a church minister, I observed that great trust and confidence was given by Mr. Haynes to Mr. Horn in the discharge of his duties and responsibilities. On most occasions, Mr. Haynes rarely monitors his work, unlike most rank and file employees where observance and strict compliance with company policies are expected. 4. Such was the trust and confidence reposed on Mr. Hom, that when Mr. Haynes was on sick leave, the administrative functions of payroll and hiring of personnel were temporarily entrusted under the management of Mr. Hom. 5. One of the office policies which both the Management and employees strictly observe is the confidentiality of office files documents and records both in printed form and those contained in the computer main frame. Thus, I keep all the sensitive files in a cabinet beside my table. Only Mr. Haynes and I are allowed access to the cabinet and its contents. 6 That on one occasion, I saw Mr. Horn browsing and taking those files out from my cabinet without my permission. That upon verification, after I saw Mr. Horn taking files out of my drawer, I discovered that the following documents such as the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission Registration, Official Receipt and Certificate of Registration of the Company's motor vehicles, land titles as well as other pertinent documents were missing from my drawer. Since Mr. Horn is also my superior, I secretly mentioned to Mr. Haynes that he took certain files from the cabinet without his consent. Thus, Mr. Haynes instructed me to keep a close eye on Mr. Horn. 7. Further, one of my duties as Mr. Hayne’s personal secretary is to keep and maintain all pertinent and highly confidential files of MECO such as & That I personally know Mr. Neal Cortez (“Mr. Cortez"), who was hired by Mr. Horn to be his assistant Mr. Cortez was known to have extensive knowledge in computers. 9.
