                                      AFFIDAVIT OF WITNESS
      I, PSSG JIMMY LIBRE DUMDUM, of legal age, married, resident of Sitio
Mabuni, Brgy. Guadalupe, San Carlos City, Negros Occidental, after having sworn in
accordance with law, do hereby depose and state THAT:
        1. I am a Bonafide member of the Philippine National Police and presently
             assigned at San Carlos City Police Station, San Carlos City, Negros Occidental;
        2. That, on December 20, 2019, I was one of the duty police officers;
        3. That, I was the one who drove the police car that responded to an
           emergency call from concerned citizen at Ylagan corner Endrina St, San
           Carlos City, Negros Occidental;
        4. That, at on or about 11PM that day, we arrived at the scene of the
             emergency and because of the well lighted street and fine weather, we
             immediately noticed and saw a man who was holding a shard of broken
             glass, about 6 inches long and wears nothing except his underwear;
        5. That, the man who was holding the sharp object looks unruly and drunk. He
             is of medium built and more or less 5 feet and 5 inches tall and according to
             bystanders, he already has been drinking since the very morning of that day;
        6. That, the place were the incident happened is a crowded area with houses
             packed and crammed in the small areas of the said street and that the police
             officers who responded can be subject to any unruly crowd;
        7. That, because of the said situation, I advised my fellow officers, Rosagazo
             and Martinez “ayaw mu og kumpyansa” don’t let your guards down;
        8. That, police officers Rosagazo and Martinez were at least five (5) meters from
             each other to fully cover each other in times of grave emergencies;
        9. That, I saw officer Rosagazo tried to talked with the drunk and unruly person
             (later confirmed to be Jayson Mata y Sayson), informing him that we are
             police officers and that he should be calm. However, the drunk and unruly
             person charged towards officer Rosagazo with the broken glass aiming to
             hurt the latter officer which led the officer to backtrack his steps and
             ultimately stumble on the ground. Because of the attacked and charge of the
             person, the element of distance was no longer present because the person is
             on the top of the fallen officer;
        10. That, gunshot were then fired by the fallen officer to help defend his life
             which at the moment is in grave danger and also led his fellow officer
             Martinez to immediately assist the fallen officer who was on his back at the
         ground with the drunk and unruly Jayson Mata on top of him and eager to
         strike his deadly blow;
      11. I executed this affidavit to attest the truthfulness of the foregoing facts and
         to deny the allegations of the ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE of GRAVE
         MISCONDUCT against PSSG ROSENDO M. ROSAGAZO, JR; and PAT. NICOLAS
         MARTINEZ and SERIOUS NEGLECT OF DUTY against PLTCOL FREDERICK P
         MEAD.
      AFFIANTS SAYETH NAUGHT.
      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto affixed my signature this 20th day of
January, 2020 at San Carlos City, Negros Occidental, Philippines.
