                AFFIDAVIT OF DESISTANCE
     I, LAURENCE JOEL M. TALIPING, of legal age, Filipino
and with postal address at house No. 1996, S.D.A Road,
Digos city, Davao del Sur, after having been duly sworn to in
accordance with law, depose and state that:
     1.   I am the private complainant in the case entitled
People of the Philippines vs. Angelo Villanueva Y Babelonia,
Criminal Case No. 12-200 presently pending before the
Regional Trial Court of Digos.
     2.    After a careful study and re-evaluation of the facts
which led to the filing of this case, I came to the conclusion
that the filing of the same against the accused was a result
of a misunderstanding and misapprehension of facts as the
incident involved is purely accidental in character.
     3.   Consequently, I am no longer interested in
pursuing and prosecuting the above-entitled case. Hence, I
am desisting from further prosecution of the criminal
complaint for Reckless Imprudence Resulting In Damage to
Property against the accused, Angelo Villanueva Y Babelonia
and I am moving for the dismissal of the instant criminal
case.
     4.    Considering the aforementioned, I hereby release,
remit, renounce, and discharge NEW ZIRCON, INC. from any
and all liabilities, claims, demands, actions and causes of
action of whatever nature and kind which may have arisen
by reason of, or in connection with the above-mentioned
cases.
     5.   I am executing this affidavit to attest to the truth
and veracity of all the foregoing facts.
    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto and affixed
my signature this 9th day of January 2017 at Digos city,
Davao del Sur.
                              2
