Irene Ecleo is hereto attached as Annex D;
9. That on January 31, 2015, I went to the Office of the City Prosecutor to file
charges against the accused;
10. That upon consultation with my lawyer, I understand that the acts of the
accused qualify for the crime of GRAVE THREATS punishable under Article

and for the purpose of filing a criminal complaint for GRAVE THREATS
