COMPLAINT - AFFIDAVIT

I, JUAN DE LA CRUZ, of legal age, married, Filipino, and a resident of C.


Tirona St., Batangas City, after having been sworn to in accordance with law, hereby
depose and state that:
1. I am the sole proprietor of JUAN POULTRY SUPPLY, with business
address at C. Tirona St., Batangas City; attached hereto are copies of my
DTI Certificate and my business permit for the year 2020, marked as
Annexes A and A-1 respectively
2. On or about 10:30 in the morning of March 13, 2020, I was reviewing the
records of Pedro Santos of 123 Alalum, San Pascual, Batangas, and there
discovered that he still has an unpaid balance amounting to TWO
HUNDRED THOUSAND PESOS (Php 200, 000.00) from the original
amount of FIVE HUNDRED THIRTY THOUSAND PESOS (Php
530,000.00) which he owed the store;
3. On March 13, 2020, I sent Pedro Santos a demand letter through my
lawyer to settle the unpaid balance amounting to TWO HUNDRED
THOUSAND PESOS (Php 200, 000.00) which he personally received on
even date; attached hereto is a copy of the demand letter indicating Pedro
Santos’ receipt thereof, marked as Exhibit B;
4. On March 14, 2020, Pedro Santos arrived at my counsel’s office and
reported that he has already paid in full the amount;
5. As evidenced of the said payment, Pedro Santos presented to my lawyer
the original of a receipt dated March 13, 2020 issued by Maria Gipit;
attached hereto is a copy of the said receipt marked as Annex C;
6. Maria Gipit has been in my employ as a cashier for a period of three
years;
7. When asked to explain the discrepancy between the amount recorded in
the store’s records and the amount indicated in the receipt, Maria Gipit
could offer no explanation;
8. I made a verbal demand for Maria Gipit to return the missing amount but
was unable to do so despite the lapse of a considerable period of time;
9. I am executing this affidavit for the purpose of filing a complaint against
Maria Gipit of 22 Brgy. Bolbok, Batangas City for violation of Article
310 in relation to Article 308 of the Revised Penal Code, defined as
follows:
a. Art. 308. Who are liable for theft. — Theft is committed by any
