COUNTER – AFFIDAVIT
I, LEO PAUL TIAGA, of legal age, Filipino, single, and a
resident of Blk.6 Lt.2 Kasaganaan Mutual Homes, Catitipan, Davao
City, after being duly sworn in accordance with law, hereby depose
and state:
1. I am the respondent in the complaint filed by PATRICIA
NICOLE DELA CRUZ, which alleges theft against me
under Article 308 of the Revised Penal Code.
2. I categorically deny all allegations of theft made against
me. I was not present at the parking lot of Gaisano Mall
Davao on September 25, 2024, at approximately 6:00 PM,
and I have no knowledge of the incident described in her
affidavit.
3. On that date and time, I was at home with my family,
preparing dinner. My parents and siblings can confirm my
presence there, as we all gathered together at
approximately 5:30 PM and spent the evening discussing
our day and sharing a meal.
4. Furthermore, I contest the claim that any witness saw me
leaving the area with a bag matching hers. If there was
indeed a witness, I would request that such a person be
brought forward to provide a statement.
5. The accusation has caused me significant distress, as I am
being wrongfully implicated in a crime I did not commit.
This situation has adversely affected my personal and
professional life.
6. I affirm that I am prepared to cooperate with law
enforcement authorities in any investigation related to this
matter to prove my innocence.
