) S.S.COMPLAINT-AFFIDAVIT

I, Rogelio E. Micosa, of legal age, American citizen, formerly Filipino, widower , and a resident of Maahas, Los Baos,Laguna, states under oath that:

1. I am instituting this CRIMINAL COMPLAINT against the Spouses REYNANTE RAMOS & MARYJANE RAMOS (Spouses Ramos), both of legal age, Filipinos, and residents of Brgy. Sta. Monica, Los Baos, Laguna SWINDLING (ESTAFA) as defined and penalized under Article 315 (1) (b) of the Revised Penal Code of the Philippines, as amended.2. The Spouses Ramos committed the act/s complained of as follows:

a) Sometime in November 2014, the Spouses Ramos and I had an agreement to lend money to some farmers in Los Baos, Laguna. The funds would come from me and the spouses would be the ones to give the amount to the intended debtors. The debtors/farmers, in return, will mortgage their agricultural land to me and I authorized the Spouses Ramos to cultivate the land while the debt remains unpaid. I would take care of all the expenses in cultivating the land while the Spouses Ramos would provide the labor. All produce from the land mortgaged to me, after deducting the expenses, shall be divided between me and the Spouses Ramos in equal shares.b) In accordance with our agreement, on November 2014, I sent through money remittance the amount of TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND PESOS (Php200,000.00) to Mrs. Susana Macamus, the mother of Maryjane Ramos. The amount was supposed to be paid/given to Mr. Esteban Ramos of Sitio Tambo, Sta. Monica, Los Baos, Laguna, who mortgaged his agricultural land to me. The Spouses Ramos received the entire amount of Php200,000.00 from Mrs. Macamus.c) To my surprise, only the amount of Php120,000.00 was given to Mr. Esteban Ramos, as evidenced by a Promissory Note he executed on 4 December 2011 in Sta. Monica, Los Baos, Laguna, a copy of which is hereto attached as Annex A to form an integral part hereof. The amount of Php120,000.00 had been returned/paid to me by Mr. Esteban Ramos.

d) I confronted the Spouses Ramos about the remaining Php80,000.00 out of the Php200,000.00 that I gave them. They told me that they already used the money for their personal use. I demanded the return of the Php80,000.00 but they told me that they did not have any money, to my damage and prejudice.

e) On December 2011, I again sent through money remittance the amount of TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND PESOS (Php200,000.00) to Mrs. Susana Macamus, who delivered the entire amount to the Spouses Ramos. The money was supposed to be paid/given to Mr. Orlando Ramos, also of Sitio Tambo, Sta. Monica, Los Baos, Laguna, who also mortgaged his agricultural land to me.f) I discovered, however, that the entire amount of Php200,000.00 was not given/loaned to Mr. Orlando Ramos. Instead, only the amount of FORTY SEVEN THOUSAND PESOS (Php47,000.00) was given to Mr. Orlando Ramos. The Spouses Ramos used the remaining Php153,000.00 for their personal gain, to my damage and prejudice. Attached hereto as Annex B is the Sinumpaang Salaysay of Mr. Orlando P. Ramos to prove that he received the amount of Php47,000.00 only from the Spouses Ramos.g) Also attached to this Complaint-Affidavit as Annex C is the Sinumpaang Salaysay of Christian Paul C. Otero to prove that I remitted the money to Mrs. Susana Macamus.

h) Finally, on November 2014, at my house in Brgy. Maahas, Los Baos, Laguna I personally gave the amount of FORTY SEVEN THOUSAND PESOS (Php47,000.00) to the Spouses Ramos, to be used in the purchase of farming equipment needed for the cultivation of the farmlands in Los Baos, Laguna which were mortgaged to me. I discovered, however, that the Spouses Ramos did not use the money to buy any piece of equipment. Instead, they used the money for their own personal use/consumption. I demanded from them the return of the said amount, but they refused and/or failed to do so, to my damage and prejudice.

3. The above unlawful acts of the Spouses Ramos caused damage and prejudice to me in the amount of Php280,000.00. The amount was supposed to be given to other persons and used for the purchase of farming equipment but was appropriated by the Spouses Ramos for their own personal use and/or consumption.

4. I filed a complaint before the Barangay Council of Sta. Monica, Los Baos,Laguna against the Spouses Ramos for estafa and demanded the return of the Php280,000.00 given to them. However, no amicable settlement was reached since the Spouses Ramos allegedy have no money or property to pay me. Copies of the Barangay Blotter and Certification to File Action issued by the Office of the Lupon Tagapamayapa in Brgy. Sta. Monica, Los Baos, Laguna, are hereto attached as Annexes D, E and F to form integral parts hereof.

5. I am executing this Affidavit to attest to the truth of the foregoing statements and for the purpose of prosecuting the Spouses REYNANTE RAMOS and MARYJANE RAMOS for the crime of SWINDLING (ESTAFA). IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I sign hereunder on this 11th day of March 2015 at Calamba, Laguna. VERIFICATION AND CERTIFICATION OF NON-FORUM SHOPPING
