AFFIDAVIT
I, ANATOLIO BOHOL, of legal age, Filipino, single, and a resident of
Tagum City, Davao del Norte, Philippines, after having been duly sworn to in
accordance with law, hereby depose and state, THAT:
1. On September 23, 2011 at around 6:30 p.m., I arrived in the house
of MILITON LAGUILLES, located at Osmeña St., Tagum City
together with my employer, CRISTILYN LAGUILLES;
2. Since when we arrived, MILITON LAGUILLES, was in his sari-sari
store which was located in front of his house, CRISTILYN
LAGUILLES sat in the bench which was placed in front of the store
and I did the same;
3. At around 7:00 p.m., while we were talking about the sudden rise of
tuba price due to the price of gasoline, a neighbor who was later on
identified as ROMEO CAHINDO arrived and bought a tuba;
4. Upon seeing that ROMEO CAHINDO was already very drank and
knowing that ROMEO CAHINDO is a troublemaker when drank,
MILITON LAGUILLES who had known ROMEO CAHINDO for a
very long time as neighbor, refused to give him tuba;
5. ROMEO CAHINDO persisted but MILITON LAGUILLES calmly
refused and instead went out from the store and proceeded to the
yard, which was illuminated by the lights coming both from the
store and the house and just a meter away from the bench where I
was sitting, to pee;
6. ROMEO CAHIDO followed MILITON LAGUILLES and challenged
him to fight but MILITON LAGUILLES did not mind him with a
statement, “I will not fight you, don’t do it”;

7. While MILITON LAGUILLES was already urinating, ROMEO
CAHINDO approached him from behind and delivered a hacking
blows using a scythe held by his right hand, hitting the right
shoulder and the top of the head of MILITON LAGUILLES and the
latter immediately fell down to the ground and ROMEO CAHINDO
immediately ran away;
8. Though CRISTILYN LAGUILLES and I were shocked by what we
had seen, CRISTILYN LAGUILLES was able to shout for help and
after regaining my composure, I rushed and ran to fetch the
husband of my employer who was just near the City Hall of Tagum;
9. Within few minutes, we came back and we brought MILITON
LAGUILLES to Bishop Regan Memorial Hospital but he was declared
dead on arrival due to the wounds inflicted by ROMEO CAHINDO.
10. I am executing this Affidavit to attest to the truth of the
foregoing fact and to support the criminal complaint lodged by
CRISTILYN LAGUILLES against ROMEO CAHINDO for the crime of
murder defined under Art. 248 of the Revised Penal Code.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto affixed my signature this
