AFFIDAVIT OF PRESERVATION
I, Police Senior Master Sergeant (PSMS) Edwin Pajaro Arroyo,
Filipino, male, 41 years old, married, PNP Member and presently assigned at Regional Anti-Cybercrime Unit (RACU) 12, PNP Anti- Cybercrime Group (PNP ACG) stationed at Camp Fermin G. Lira, General Santos City, after having been duly sworn to in accordance with law, hereby depose and say THAT:
1. I am a recipient of a Cybercop Badge, a competency badge
issued by the Philippine National Police after I completed four (4) mandatory courses of PNP ACG to wit: Introduction to Cybercrime Investigation Course (ICIC), Introduction to Digital Forensic Investigation Course (IDFI), Identification and Seizure of Digital Evidence (ISDE) and Proactive Internet Investigation Course (PIIC).
2. I learned how to capture and preserve social media content
in a sound manner through the use of available application tools from these courses.
3. I am the officer who conducted investigation and preserved
computer data in support of the Complaint filed by Police Captain Michael Elopre, PNP member presently assigned in Regional Intelligence Division (RID) Police Regional Office (PRO) 12, Tambler, General Santos City for the alleged Violation of Section 4, par. C, sub-par. 4 of R.A. 10175 (Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012)- ONLINE LIBEL against RMN Gensan and Pacman Radio.
4. On October 16, 2020, Complainant, PCPT ELOPRE
reported to our Office purposely to report the alleged online libel incident wherein he was allegedly maliciously defamed on Facebook (FB) in the posts created on the FB Page of RMN Gensan and 91.1 Pacman Radio- Gensan.
5. Using our FB Racu Dose account, I searched the above –
mentioned accounts in the searched button and the said accounts were active including their post on October 15, 2020.
Affidavit of Preservation-PSMS Edwin Arroyo Page 1
6. That RMN Gensan revealed that it has a Uniform Resource Locator of https://www.facebook.com/RMNGensan927/ with FB ID number 1491208607822191 and 91.1 Pacman Radio- Gensan has a URL of https://www.facebook.com/91.1PacmanRadioGensan/ and FB ID number .690507031022123
7. On October 15, 2020 at around 8:58AM, the RMN Gensan
posted and uploaded a document containing a “Press Release” allegedly issued by Atty. Nena A Santos with an allegation that complainant amassed millions of pesos from the investment scam in Region 12 through the so called Plan Pro Matrix or PPM involving several PNP personnel. The said post gained 215-likes, 64- comments and 45-shares.
8. On the other hand, FB 91.1 Pacman Radio- Gensan created
the same post on its FB Page at around 9:01, with the same press release document gaining 85-FB likes, 14-comments and 25-shares.
9. I viewed, examined, captured and preserved the Facebook
page 91.1 Pacman Radio- Gensan and RMN Gensan “Ordisi Sailej” and its alleged malicious/libelous statements using a Snagit Software application. Snagit is a screenshot program that captures video display and audio output. I also saved their post in a Portable Document File or PDF with the following filenames, to wit: a. (3) 91.1 Pacman Radio- Gensan – Posts.pdf; and b. (4) RMN GenSan – Posts.pdf;
10. Thereafter, I obtained the hash value of all the
screenshots I have captured through Snagit using HashMyFiles version 2.02. HashMyFiles is a small utility program that allows you to calculate the MD5 and SHA1 hashes of one or more files in your system.
11. MD5, technically called MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm,
is a cryptographic hash function whose main purpose is to verify that a file has been unaltered and SHA1 or (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) is a cryptographic hash function which takes an input and produces a 160-bit (20-byte) hash value known as a message digest, typically rendered as a hexadecimal number, 40 digits long.
12. A hash value is a numeric value of a fixed length that
uniquely identifies data. Hash values represent large amounts of data
Affidavit of Preservation-PSMS Edwin Arroyo Page 2
as much smaller numeric values, so they are used with digital signatures.
13. I saved the preserved Screen or Snagit captures in a
Digital Versatile Disc-Recordable (DVD-R) label as Elopre-202010- 0419 in soft copy as digital evidence.
14. The screenshots from the Facebook Account that I have
captured/preserved and presented shall form part of the evidence to be used in this case.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and
affix my signature this _____th day of October 2020 Hall of Justice, General Santos City, Philippines.
PSMS Edwin P Arroyo
Affiant PNP I.D. No.:17A130187
SUBSCRIBED AND SWORN to before me this _______ day of
October 2020 at the Prosecutor, Polomolok, South, Philippines and I hereby certify that I have personally examined the affiant and that I am fully satisfied that he voluntarily executed his affidavit and understood the same.
