COMPLAINT-AFFIDAVIT

I, JOYCE AMOR LIM , of legal age, Filipino citizen,

single, a resident of Brgy. Poblacion, Cataingan, Panay,
after having been duly sworn to in accordance with law,
do hereby depose and say that:

1.I personally know MARY VILLA being also a

resident of Barangay Poblacion, Cataingan,
Panay.

2.That sometime on September 2016, while me

and my sister-in-law were watching TV inside
our house I heard Mary calling my name in a
loud voice and urging me to went out of our
house.

3.Curious of what Mary was up to I went outside

our house along with my sister-in-law Jackielyn
Comedi, my half-sister Jomimah Andaya,
thereupon to my surprise Mary pointed her
fingers on my face almost poking me and
intentionally shouted “Puta! Burikat! Pokpok
ka kay ikaw una nabuntisan”

4.I was speechless for a second then I realized

that our neighbours Alma Cabansag, Excel
Abilong and Estelita Abilong , and Renato
Andaya, also came out of their houses.
 5.Feeling ashamed of what was happening I
immediately went inside our house but then
Mary kept on shouting “Burikat! Pokpok ka
Burikat ka Joyce”.

6.The statements uttered by Mary on that day

publicly and clearly prompted not by sense of
moral duty but by personal ill-will, spite and
malice with the object of destroying my
reputation and discrediting and ridiculing me as
an individual before the bar of public opinion
and contempt.

7. The ill-effects of the malicious utterances are

shown by the negative responses that I have
received from my neighbours, expressing belief
in Mary’s baseless allegations as shameful,
heinous and unequivocally barbaric all to my
damage and prejudice.

8.By reason of the foregoing, I suffered sleepless

nights, wounded feelings, and moral and social
embarrassment.

9.I am executing this affidavit to attest the truth

of the foregoing statements and for the purpose
of filing the necessary criminal and/or civil
action against MARY VILLA.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my

hand this ___ day of ____________ at Panay City,
Philippines.
