COUNTER – AFFIDAVIT

I, MARLON STOCKINGER, MARRIED, of legal age, Filipino, with residence at Phase 5,

Block 6, Lot 7, Tensuan Site, Poblacion, Muntinlup City, after having been duly sworn in
accordance with law, hereby depose and state: THAT

1. I am the same person who is the respondent in the instant case;

2. Paragraphs 2, 3, 4, 13, and 16 of the affidavit of Pia Wurtzbach-Stockinger are

ADMITTED;

3. With respect to paragraph 5, the truth is: the reason why she was not employed was
because we both decided and agreed that it is best for the rearing of our children to have
their mother present at all times during the crucial years of their development. That is
precisely why I took it upon myself to sacrifice and seek employment abroad so that I
will earn relatively more than what I would if I were to continue my previous
employment in the Philippines – even if it means being away from my own children. The
decision was mutual and consensual, and she was never, by all means, prevented from
seeking employment;

4. Anent Paragraph 6, the truth to the matter are as follows: although it is admitted that we
would have constant quarrels, naturally as all couples would, I have never physically
maltreated her in any form whatsoever. In fact, whenever we would have disagreements,
however small it is, she was the one who would immediately throw tantrums and would
scream and throw objects around the house causing extreme humiliation to our family in
our neighborhood. For this, the affidavits of 3 of our neighbors are hereto attached as
Annex “A” who witnessed those instances whenever she would run amok;

5. Paragraph 7 is completely DENIED. The jabbing incident that the complainant is alleging
in her affidavit is completely made up and false. The truth is, although I do remember that
she did lose her front teeth some time on February of 2010, it was not because I jabbed
her but she in fact accidentally fell down the stairs while playing a game on her mobile
phone. I even remember that it happened while I was feeding our child and immediately
attended to her and rushed her myself to the hospital thereafter. The affidavit of our

1
 second child, Shamcey Stockinger, whom I was feeding when the accident occurred, is
hereto attached as Annex “B” corroborating the incident;

6. Paragraph 8 is likewise DENIED. The incident that the complainant is accusing me of

doing never occurred. In fact, the photos she is presenting as evidence depicting the
alleged incident while I was committing the act was completely a sham and
“photoshopped”. Attached hereto as Annex “C” is the original photo where the
reproduced and edited copy was lifted;

7. Paragraphs 9 and 10 are DENIED. The real story behind is as follows: although it is
unfortunate that we have come to this point where we would even share our intimate
moments with others, the truth to the matter is that brought about by our energy and
passion, whenever we would make love, we would end up hurting each other as we both
like to do it “rough” in bed. As a matter of fact, there were instances when I will have
scratches on my back and bite marks on my lips and arms brought about by the fiery
intimate moments we shared. However, I completely DENY calling her any derogatory
names such as “whore”, “parausan”, and “sawsawan ng bayan” which she is alleging;

8. Paragraphs 11 and 12 are also DENIED. The truth is: Mary Jean is my childhood best
friend and our families have become close because we grew up together and our fathers
are best friends. Although Mary Jean and I are extremely close, she has always been just
a sister figure to me. However, the complainant has always been extremely jealous of her
by reason of our closeness. The complainant would always accuse me of having an affair
with her, where in fact, this matter could not have been more false as Mary Jean is
actually a lesbian. Anent the purported photos of Mary Jean and I presented by the
complainant, they were all reproduced and “photoshopped” as well in her desperate
attempt to make a case for her false allegations. Attached hereto as Annexes “D”, “E”,
and “F” are the original photos where the sham photos were reproduced and lifted;

9. Paragraphs 14 and 15 are vehemently DENIED. The truth to the matter is we never
ceased all communications over the course of my employment abroad in Riyadh, Saudi
Arabia, and she would even threaten to leave me for another man whenever I would miss
our regular 10pm (manila time) Skype sessions. Attached hereto as Annex “G” are
photocopies of some of the messages we have exchanged even beyond the six months of
employment as the complainant alleged. In addition, I have also never missed my
responsibilities to my family as I would send 80% of my salary to the Philippines on a
monthly basis for their daily expenses and my children’s education. Attached hereto as
Annexes “H”, “I”, and “J” are the photocopies of my salary slip, and the receipts of my
money transfers to my family for support;

10. Paragraphs 17 and 18 are likewise DENIED. Mary Jean and I never cohabited and it was
also false when the complainant accused me of not making any efforts to see our children.
In fact, ever since I returned from Riyadh on 22 May 2017, I have constantly sought to
see my children but it was the complainant who refused to communicate. Attached hereto
as Annexes “K” and “J” are phtotopies of my messages to the complainant begging her to
at least allow me see my 5 children even if we both cannot work our marriage anymore;

11.The filing of the complaint is the complainant’s way of leaving me because she had
already lost all of her feelings towards me and that her jealousy borne our of pure
imagination is eating her up inside even to the point of dragging our whole family
including our innocent children with it.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto affixed my signature this 14th day of February
2018 in the City of Muntinlupa, Philippines.
