3. During the prosecution's presentation of evidence, Prosecution
Witness ROLANDO CONDAT Y NABO, Filipino, married, and a
resident of Sitio Lubas, Sibaguan, Sagay, Camarines Sur,
knowingly and falsely testified against me committed in the
following manner:

a. On April 17, 2009, Mr. Condat executed an Affidavit stating

facts and events which allegedly transpired on March 21,
2009. In summary, Mr. Condat stated that when my cousin
Leopoldo Guillermo "Boyet" Mendoza III went to Sitio Lubas
on March 21, 2009, it was only my other cousins Hiram
Othelo M. Rogando, and Pethyas P. Mendoza who were
with him. My name was never mentioned in the Affidavit.

b. However, when he testified on July 4, 2014 during the trial of

my cases, he identified and adopted a Judicial-Affidavit
dated April 21, 2014 which already implicated me as one of
those who accompanied my cousin Boyet.

Thus, in his April 20, 2009 Affidavit, he stated:

4. Q: At the time you were harvesting, where was

Leopoldo Guillermo Mendoza III?

A: He was with Utilo and Pichas Mendoza talking

with Salome Buela.

But in his April 21, 2014 Judicial-Affidavit he stated:

5.H: Kan Marso 21, 2009, nagigiromdoman mo kung

nahiling mo sinda?

S: Iyo po ta pagka-pangudto ko kan aldaw asin oras na yan,

nagduman ako sa may harong ni Pelagio Dacillo sa gilid kan
tinampo susog sa pasabi sako ni Boyet kan hapon ning Marso
20, 2009.

6.H: Sisay an naabutan mo kan mag-duman ka, kung igwa man?

S: Naabutan ko duman sa Boyet, Stephen, Pethyas, saka Utilo

saka si ibang kalalakihan na arog ko, pina-apod man ni Boyet.

Copies of both Affidavits are hereby attached to this

document as Annexes "D" and "E", respectively, and
made integral part hereof.

d. On July 4, 2014 during the cross-examination of Mr. Condat
by my counsel, Atty. Leo Caayao, he admitted in open court
that he voluntarily testified against me because he had been
given priority by Bong Quillope (private complainant in the
twin cases of Grave Threats against me) to live in the land
subject matter of litigation between Mr. Quillope and my
cousin Boyet Mendoza, and that he gladly accepted the
invitation of Mr. Quillope to execute a Judicial-Affidavit on
rebuttal and testify against me.

And on October 17, 2014, during the cross-examination of

Mr. Samuel Bisco y de los Santos, another prosecution
witness, the latter testified in open court that both of them
were promised by Bong Quillope that if they testify against
me, they will not be included in a criminal complaint for
qualified theft.

Thus, the transcript of stenographic notes during the July 4,

2014 cross-examination of Rolando Condat and the October
17, 2014 cross-examination of Samuel Bisco reveals:

QUESTION :And in fact, because of gathering coconut, criminal

complaint was filed against you and Pelagio Dacillo,
Enio Dacillo, Marvin Hernandez, do you remember
that?

Samuel Bisco, the other witness for sur rebuttal are not
included there anymore?

A :No sir.

Q :You were no longer included by Mr. Quillope as

respondent in that case for qualified theft because
you were convinced to testify against Guillermo

Mendoza and Otelo Mendoza, is that correct?

Page 3 of 6

Q :By the way, also for volunteering to testify against the

Mendoza's and the persons you were in company

land which is now litigated between Vicente Ulysses
Quillope and Mr. Mendoza?

A :I asked permission from Mr. Quillope and he allowed

me to live in that place.

Q :That's why you will recall in that forcible entry case

filed by Mr. Boyet Mendoza against Vicente Ulysses
Quillope, when you were asked by the Honorable judge
who you respect as landlord; you said your Landlord is
Mr. Vicente Ulysses Quillope?

Page 8

A :Yes sir.

Q :Because you had been given the priority of

living in the land subject matter of litigation
between Mr. Quillope and Mr. Mendoza, you

that you execute a Judicial Affidavit on
