“I am the respondent in the case for Slight Physical Injuries filed by Mark Patrick L.
Nigos;”
“I admit that I was there in front of his house which is located beside the road that
afternoon of April 12, 2021. However, I deny the allegations of the complainant that I
shouted threatening words at him and the reason why I was there is that I am waiting
for my mother who works as a housekeeper in a shop nearby his house.”
“I admit that I punched him several times but it was all for self-defense. The
complainant is the one who insulted me first and provoked a fight that day that is why
I was forced to defend myself to avoid any injuries.”
“He went outside of his house and he said that “Kung di kayo aalis sa harap ng bahay
ko, lulumpuhin ko kayo”. After that he used a 2x2 wood and hit me once on the
shoulder and when the complainant was about to struck me for the second time. I
punched him on the stomach to stop him.”
“I also strongly deny that there was no amicable settlement in the Barangay. That
time, although it was not my fault, I agreed that I will pay him five (5) thousand pesos
for the injuries but the complainant want it to be doubled instead.”
“The Lupong Tagapamayapa then decided to transfer the case in the court because the
complainant disagreed with my payment.”
“That I am executing this counter-affidavit to attest the truth of the foregoing
statements, and for the purpose of denying the charges filed by MARK PATRICK L.
NIGOS.”
WHEREFORE, finding the existence of probable cause, let an Information for Slight
Physical Injury under Article 266 of the Revised Penal Code be filed against the
respondent in court.
