COMPLAINT-AFFIDAVIT
I, JAMES JEFFERSON S. TAN, of legal age, married, Filipino
and a resident of B-1 High Street Grace Village, Santo Domingo, Quezon City, Metro Manila, after being sworn to in accordance with law, depose and state that:
1. Sometime around 4:00p.m. in the afternoon of June 12, 2020
in Quezon City, specifically along Santo Domingo Street, RACHELLE ANGELIQUE ONG, to be hereinafter referred to as the Accused, who is a resident of 690 Banawe Street, Quezon City being then the driver of a maroon colored Isuzu Crosswind with plate number TIB 166, did then and there willfully, unlawfully and feloniously drive, manage and operate the same in a reckless, careless, negligent and imprudent manner, without regard to traffic laws, rules and regulations, and without taking the necessary care and precaution to avoid damage to property, causing by such negligence, carelessness and imprudence the said vehicle to collide violently and head on with Toyota Hi-Lux bearing plate number NDI 1588 driven by my driver, RAMIL L. VILLAFLOR thereby causing damage to latter vehicle which would require repair estimated at P500,000.00.
A copy of the Toyota Hi Lux Original Receipt and Certificate of
Registration is hereby attached as ANNEX ”A” and “A-1”, respectively. A copy of the damages incurred by my vehicle are hereby attached as ANNEX “B”, “B-1”, and “B-2”, and made an integral; part hereof. A copy of the repair quotation is hereby attached as ANNEX ”C”; 2. Due to the ongoing COVid-19 pandemic and my driver living in my residence as a stay-in driver, I secured the services of legal counsel in order for the him to execute his written statement under oath regarding the accident that took place on June 12, 2020, instead of going to the the Balintawak Traffic Management Sector 1. As contained in said affidavit and going back to what had transpired, I was riding in the passenger seat on our way home when nearing Calamba Street, we noticed the vehicle driven by the Accused crossed over to our lane at a great speed which made my driver swerve further to the right to avoid a head-on collision.
A copy of the Affidavit of Accident is hereby attached as
ANNEX “D” and made an integral part of this complaint.;
3. The impact of collision threw my vehicle to the curb, almost
turning it turtle, rendering both doors on the left hand side stuck. Digital copies of the Closed Circuit TeleVision (CCTV) of Barangay Santo Domingo, the onboard dash cam video, and screenshot of the vehicle of the accused seconds before impact are hereby attached as ANNEX “E”, “E-1” and “E-2”, saved respectively in the Universal Serial Bus (USB) drive enclosed with this complaint-affidavit and made an integral part hereof;
4. Therefore, the acts of the Accused of sudden acceleration,
wrongful veering that resulted to counter-flowing, and the clear failure to stop her car clearly establish the reckless and imprudent manner of driving her vehicle. Indeed, Accused, being a licensed driver, should have ensured that driving in the right lane and maintaining a reasonable speed which she failed to do so, are expected of in an ordinary driving scenario as shown in the video files of the incident; 5. On June 20, 2020, I have secured services of legal counsel to prepare and serve upon the Accused a demand letter on her registered address. The same was received by Raymart Ong, the older brother of the Accused.
A copy of the said demand letter is hereby attached as ANNEX
“E” and made an integral part hereof;
6. On June 22, 2020, my legal counsel received an SMS message
from the cellphone number of the Accused asking for a phone call and it was the father of the Accused (Mr. Ong) who tried to talk the matter out, but ultimately ended in disagreement for reasons totally unrelated to the complaint for reckless imprudence;
7. I am therefore executing this Complaint-Affidavit in support of
the charges for Reckless Imprudence Resulting in Damage to Property against the said Accused.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
_____________ at _____________, Philippines.
JAMES JEFFERSON S. TAN
COMPLAINANT
SUBSCRIBED AND SWORN to before me this _____________ at
_____________. I hereby certify that I have examined the Affiant and that I am fully satisfied that he has voluntarily executed and understood the contents of his Complaint-Affidavit. REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES ) QUEZON CITY ) S.S.
