A: She was my girlfriend but at the present, not anymore.

(Uyab mi ani niya sauna pero karun dili na)

4. Q: How did you two meet?

(Giunsa man ninyo pag-ilhanay?)

A: She works as a caretaker at my brother-in-laws house and I live just in

the same compound.

(Nagtrabaho man gud na cya sa balay sa akung bayaw ug pareha ra

mig compound na ginapuy-an)

5. Q: Are you two still in a relationship with Amalia?

(Uyab pa ba gihapon mo ni Amalia?)

A: Not anymore, sir

(Dili na, Sir)

6. Q: Can you tell us why youre not together anymore?

(Maka ingun ka namo nganung dili namo uyab?)

A: Because I saw her kissing and making out with one of the farmworkers
as though they were about to have sex in the dirty kitchen so I got upset
and jealous.

(Kay nakakita ko na nay cyay ka hawk na usa ka trabahante sa

basakan ug padung na gane sila mag-iyot sa may kusina, mao to nasuko
ko ug nagselos)

(Hereinto attached is the Judicial Affidavit of Nestor Bayot as Annex K)

7. Q: Where did you see them do that?

(Diin man ka kita kun asa sila nagbuhat atu?)

A: At the quiet, secluded, back portion of my brother in-laws house near

the dirty kitchen

(Sa hilom na suok na lugar sa balay sa akong bayaw dapit sa may

kusina)

8. Q: How were you able to see them if it was secluded?

(Nganu nakakita man ka nila kung naa man diay sila sa suok?)

A: I was on my way to the dirty kitchen to look for a butchers knife to

chop the meat that I bought for dinner because I could not find mine and I
saw them through the window but they did not see me.

(Kay padung man ta ko sa kusina para kwaun ang kutsilyo, kay

tadtarun nako ang unod na baboy na akong napalit para panihapon
dayon kay wa man nako nakit.an ang akong kutsilyo, didto nako sila
na kit.an sa bintana peru wa sila kita nako)

9. Q: And what happened after you saw them?

(Unsay may nahitabo pagkakita nimo nila?)

A: I went back to my house because I was so hurt with what I saw.

(Nibalik na lang ko sa balay na nasakitan sa akung nakit.an)

10. Q: And then what happened after you went back home?

(Unsay may nahitabo pagbalik nimu sa inyuha?)

A: I drank water to calm myself down and contemplated on confronting

her about what I saw.

(Ni-inom kog tubig para mukalma ko ug naghunahuna ko kung ako ba

siyang duolon ug atubangon bahin sa akung nakit.an)

11. Q: And did you really confront her?

(Gi-konprontar ba gyud nimu siya?)

A: Yes, I did.

(O ako gayud gebuhat)

12. Q: May you let us know about it?

(Sige be pwede nimu isulti namu unsay may nahitabo)

A: Yes. I asked her how she could do this to me. I loved her with all my
heart and she is the only woman I loved after my wife died. She was
my only source of happiness and joy because my children already
have their own families.

(Oo, ako siya gipanguta ug na nganu iya tong ge buhat diri nako na
tinood man nako siya na gehinigugma sa tibiok nakung kasingkasing
ug siya ra gyud ang babay na akung gehinigugma sukad namatay
akung asawa, siya ra gyud ang rason sa akung kalipay ug kahabsik
kay akung mga anak naa na may tagsa tagsa na pamilya na ilaha)

13. Q: And what transpired after you two talked?

(Unsai resulta human sa inyong storya?)

A: She denied and acted defensive in front of me which has hurt me even
more. We both are old, I am 70 years old and she is 54. I cannot
believe she could do such thing.

(Wa man niya angkona ug defensibo kaayo siya, ug nasakitan ko ug

samut kay tiguwang naman unta ming duha, akung edad ky 70 ug
siya kay 54. Di gyud ko katuo na mabuhat to niya nya)
14. Q: And how did that affect you?

(Unsai may apekto ani sa imoha?)

A: I have definitely lost trust in her so I stopped giving her money since
then.

(Nawala jud ang akong pagsalig nya, maong nihunong kog hatag nya
ug kwarta sukad)

15. Q: Wait, you give her money?

(Taymsa, Nagahatag diay ka niya ug kwarta diay?)

A: Yes, maam.

(Oo, mam)

16. Q: Doesnt she earn money as a caretaker?

(Di ba diay siya makakwarta sa pagka caretaker niya?)

A: Yes, she does.

(Makakwarta man)

17. Q: So why do you still give her money?

(Ngano man maghatag man sad ka ug kwarta nya?)

A: Because what she earns as a caretaker is not enough.

(Kay,ang iyang kita di man kasaigo nya)

18. Q: Really? How much does she earn?

(Mao ba, pila man iyang kita?)

A: P3,000, maam.

(3 ka libo, mam)

19. Q: Does she have kids to support?

 (Naa ba diay siyay anak na ge sustentohan?)

A: No, she has been single ever since so she has no kids.

(Wala, wa man gyud siya naminyo ug wa pud siyay anak)

20. Q: Then why is her salary not enough for her?

(Niya ngano man di igo iyang sweldo niya?)

A: Because even if she has no kids to support, she still sends money to
her relatives in the province. Whenever they have problems over there, it
is her who shoulders the expenses because she is the single one among
her siblings.

(Kay maski wala siyay anak na gisustentohan, magpadala man

gihapun siya ug kwarta sa iyang mga parente sa probinsya, matag nay
mga problema didto ug pirmi siya ang mogasto kay siya raman ang dili
minyo)

21 Q: Has she asked you for money before?

(Nakapangayu na ba siya nimu ug kwarta sauna?)

A: Yes. I am the one she usually turns to whenever she runs out of money
and whenever she badly needs it.

(Oo, kay ako man pirmi niyang duolan matag mahutdan siya ug
kwarta ug kinahanglan gayud niya kini)

22. Q: And did you give her what she asked for?

(Ug imu sad gihatag nimo iyang gipangayo?)

A: Yes, many times and I usually give her extra to buy clothes, make-up,
Food supplements, grocery for her family in the province, and
whatever else she needed to buy. I also buy them myself whenever I
am doing some shopping I include some for her. I tried to spoil her as
much as I can.

(Oo, kadaghan na, ako na sya tagaan ug sobra na kwarta para

pangpalit ug sanina, make-up, pagkaon, grocery para sa niya ug sa
iyang pamilya sa probinsya, bisag unsa iyang kanhanglan paliton.
Usahay kung makasuroy man gane ko ako pud siyang shoppingan, ug
 ako man gane mismo ang mamalit, pinanga man gane kaayu nako
siya)

23. Q: Really? Where did you get all the money from?

(Mao ba? Asa man sad ka kuha ug kwarta?)

A: From my retirement pension, savings, and also from my children in

the USA. Because of my deposits in Bank of Philippine Islands (BPI) I
get to have a credit card, I made Amalia as my supplementary card
holder, so she has access to my account and can freely buy all the things
that she desires.

( Gikan kini sa akoang pensyon sa pag retiro, tigom, ug sa mga

padala gikan sa akong mga anak sa USA. Gikan sa akong mga tinigum
nga naka deposito sa Bangko, anaa akoy ginatawag na credit card ug si
Amalia akong gihimo na extensyon niini, pasabot nga maka palit siya sa
tanan niyang gusto gamit ang credit card. )

(Certificate of Retirement Plan, Certification of Savings Deposit, Credit

card receipt statements and Padala Statements from US hereinto attached
as Annex A B C and D, respectively.)

24. Q: Okay. And do you still give her money up to date?

(Okay, Ug hangtud karun tighatag pa baka ug kwarta nya?)

A: No, not anymore.

(dili, wala na karun)

25. Q: Can you tell us the reason why?

(Pwede nimu i.sulti nako ug nganu di na?)

A: After I found out she cheated on me and not get an apology for what
she did, I felt betrayed so I stopped trusting her and also stopped
giving her money.

(Pagkahibaw nako sa iyang pagpangilad sa akoa ug wala siya

nangayo ug pasaylo sa iyang gibuhat, nakabatyag kog pagkatraydor
nya mao ng akong gehunong akong salig nya ug ang paghatag ug
kwarta sa iyaha.)

26. Q: And what happened after?

 (Niya unsa may nahitabo sunod)
A: She begged me to forgive her but only after I stopped giving her
money. I also told her I was also planning to tell my brother-in-law what
his caretaker has been doing in the house with the farmworker whenever
hes not home.

(Nagpakiluoy siya diri nako na pasayluon nako siya sugod katung

nihunong ko ug hatag ug kwarta niya. Ako sad siya g.ingnan na isulti
nako sa akong bayaw kung unsai ilang gipangbuhat sa iyang
caretaker sa iyang balay uban ang trabahante kung wala siya)

27. Q: And did you forgive her?

(Niya napasylo naba nimu siya?)

A: No. She broke my heart and abused my trust and love for her. She also
abused my brother in laws trust by doing some disgraceful act in his
own house.

(Wala. Iyang man gibuak akong kasingkasing ug gi-abusaran niya

akong pagsalig ug pahigugma kaniya. Iya sad ge abusaran ang
pagsalig sa pagbuhat ug malaw.ay na binulahatun sa balay.)

28. Q: What happened after it and what did you told her after?

(Unsay may nahitabo paghuman ana ug unsa man sad ang imung ge
sulti niya?)

A: I did not talk to her anymore and the next thing I know she filed this
case against me.

(Wa naman mi naka storya sukadsukad ug nahibung na lang ko na nay

nay reklamo bahin nako)

29. Q: Have you had carnal knowledge with the complainant before?

(Nag-iyot na ba mo sa aning ga reklamo nimu?)

A: Yes, so many times.

(Oo, kadghan naman gane)

30. Q: Does anyone know about your relationship?

(Naa bay laen nakahibaw sa inyong relasyon?)
 A: My kids and their families in the States knows.

(Akong mga anak ug ilang pamilya didto ang nakahibaw)

31. Q: How were they able to know?

(Nganung nakahibaw man sila?)

A: Because I told them and I also send them our pictures when we go out
on our dates. Most of the time, they would check where all my savings
would go and how I get to use my credit card, so I sometimes would
send them copies of my billing statements, by that they would know how
my credit card is being used, including all expenses from Amalias
shopping spree.

(Kay ako man sila gi-ingnan, magpadala man sad kog litrato nila
kung mag-date mi ni Amalia. Sa matag panahon pud, ila ng susihunang
recibo sa credit card, kun asa magamit akong kwarta ug mga natigom sa
bangko ug susihun gayud na nila pirmi ang lista sa gasto sa akong
credit card, apil niini ang lista sa gasto ni Amalia gikan sa iyang
pagpamalit sa iyang mga gusto.)

(Credit card statements of extension holder as shown in Annex C)

32. Q: Other than them. Does anybody know from the compound you live
in?

(Naa pa bay lain nakahibaw kaysa nila, sa kompond?)

A: No because Amalia does not want me to tell them to avoid chismis.

She is ashamed to let them know about us because people might think
she is an old gold digger because she is in a relationship with her
employers brother-in-law.

(Wala kay di man ganahan si Amalia na makahibaw ang uban para

sad wa sad chismis na mahitabo. Mauwaw man sad siya na
magkahibaw ang uban kay abi pa lang na iya kung ge
pangangkwartahan samut na na empleyado pud siya sa akung
bayaw.)

In compliance with Section 11, Rule 13 of the Rules of Court, this

JUDICIAL AFFIDAVIT was served to other parties by registered mail due
to distance between Cebu City proper and Brgy. Binaliw which is a
mountainous part of Cebu City, lack of manpower in lieu of personal
service.
