COUNTER AFFIDAVIT

I, JUAN DELA CRUZ, of legal age, married and a resident of Brgy. Timog
Sta. Clara Village, Tagbilaran City after having been duly sworn to in
accordance with the law do hereby depose and says:

1. That I am accused for the crime of Possession and Sale of Dangerous

Drugs under Republic Act 9165, now pending before the Provincial
Prosecution Office of Bohol;

2. That I vehemently deny the allegations in the complaint filed against

me for being false, fabricated and malicious, the truth being that;

a. That in the afternoon of January 17, 2017 aroung 4:00, my friend

Juan Manuel Marques and I were buying in a sari sari store in Sta.
Clara Village.

b. Then after buying from the store 2 hooded men approached us and
discretely pointed a gun at us and said that “Sumama kayo sa amin
kung gusto nyo pang mabuhay”. We had no choice but to go with
them because of our fear for our lives.

c. The 2 hooded men brought us to a street with a parked van and

they told us to go inside and they will only have a chat with us.

d. But instead both hooded men started to punch us and started to

threaten us inside the van. They told us that one of us must make it
appear that we were selling shabu.

e. Because of fear, we gave in to their demands. Neither of us

volunteered to be the one selling the shabu but because it was
consuming time of who will be the one to make it appear to be selling
it. One of the hooded men just randomly picked one of us and I was
the one picked.

f. The 2 hooded men instructed me of what will happen later on that

night. That I was supposed to hand sachets of shabu to the persons
who will come up to me and ask to buy shabu from me.

g. My friend Juan Manuel was taken by them as assurity that I will

fulfil the tasks ask of me.

i. When the night came, I followed the instructions given by the

hooded men and 2 persons came up to me and bought shabu, upon
giving the money, I was shocked that police suddenly came out and it
was a buy bust operation.

3. That I was extremely surprised in everything that transpired.

4. That the case filed against me is motivated by bad faith and ill motives
