COMMENT OR OPPOSITION TO THE FORMAL OFFER OF

EXHIBITS
Comes now the STATE, through the undersigned counsel and unto
this Honorable Court, most respectfully submits this Comment or
Opposition to the Formal Offer of Exhibits filed by the defense and avers:
1

That the undersigned counsel received an Order from this

Honorable Court directing the undersigned counsel to file his
comment to the Defenses Formal Offer of Exhibits;

That in relation thereto, PLAINTIFF through the undersigned

counsel forwards the following comments or oppositions:

Exh. 1 : COUNTER-AFFIDAVIT OF MICHAELO FLORENTINO is

admitted as to its existence but is objected as to the purpose to
which it is being offered.
1 As can be gleaned in the affidavit, the statements and claims of
the accused, Mr. Florentino, were self-serving.

Exh. 1-A : JOINT COUNTER-AFFIDAVIT OF RAMON G.

RODRIGUEZ and LYNDON R. MONDAY is admitted as to
its existence but denied as to the truthfulness of the contents
thereof.

RODRIGUEZ

OF

MICHAELO

AND

LYNDON

MONDAY is admitted.

Exh. 3 : LOG BOOK OF THE PYRA DICE LODGE is admitted as

to its existence but denied as to the truthfulness of the contents
thereof;
A clear perusal of the log book would show that it is preposterous as
what Lodge would keep a log book of its clientele. It is nothing but
hearsay evidence and only serves to provide a twisted form of
evidence for the defense. It is self-serving as it is irrelevant.

RESPONDENT MICHAELO FLORENTINO Is admitted only

as to its existence but is denied as to the purpose to which it is

of the contents thereof. In fact, the said document is not even

got a hold of a copy of such document if not being forcibly taken
from the complainant which only proves our allegations.

but denied as to the purpose to which it is being offered. In fact, the

being forcibly taken from the complainant which only proves our
allegations

Exh. 7 : AFFIDAVIT OF LOSS OF LYNDON MONDAY

is

admitted as to its existence but denied as to the truthfulness of the

contents thereof and as to the purpose to which it is being offered. It
