We, JERLYN MAE L. RAGRAG, ZAIRA JOY C. GABUTIN, GILBERT M.
IRENE, PAUL B. PLASABAS, and IRVIN A. LATORRE, married and single respectively,
all of legal age, Filipino, and are residents of Jiabong, Hinabangan, Calbiga and Catbalogan City,
Samar after having been duly sworn to in accordance with law do hereby depose and say: that-
1. We are all government employees presently working at the Office of the
Register of Deeds for the Province of Samar, Catbalogan City designated as
the Land Registration Examiners, Records Officers, and CLERK II of the
said office;
2. We know respondent Ms. Nelly A. Nablo (Ms. Nablo for brevity) because
she is our Communication Equipment Operator II and has been in service
since the year 1994 or for about twenty-nine (29) long years;
3. From the time we started to work at the aforesaid office, we knew Ms. Nablo
to be responsible, loyal, and faithful employee. She has been honest to the
public particularly in all of her dealings in relation to the performance of her
duty being our Communication Equipment Operator. She discharged and
continuously discharged her duties with a high degree of responsibility,
integrity, loyalty, and efficiency. Specifically, she has never been charged
administratively in any forum until late;
4. As far as we know, Ms. Nablo never conspired and confederated with Atty.
Ryan D. Villablanca, her co-respondent in the instant case in the commission
of the assailed transactions. Thus, it is very highly impossible that she can
commit such unlawful acts. The truth of the matter was that she simply
followed the instructions of our superior officer with no connotations of
whatever unlawful intentions our superior may have had against Ms.
Gonzales (complainant in a criminal case filed against Atty. Villablanca);
5. In the formal charge issued by the Land Registration Authority against Ms.
Nablo, it appears that she was placed on preventive suspension for ninety
(90) days effective upon receipt thereof. With due respect, we do believe that
such suspension is disproportionate to the alleged acts and even harsh on her
part. In this case, the charge is a penalty by itself. It may tarnish her image as
a law-abiding individual, God-fearing, and loving mother to her children.
6. We executed this affidavit to attest to the truthfulness of the preceding facts,
and to support the lifting of the preventive suspension against Ms. Nablo for
another legal purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we hereto affix our signatures this ___ day of March
2024, at Catbalogan City.
