BAGUIO CITY

AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT

I, Jack E. Bagbaga, of legal age, Filipino, single, and a resident of Bembangan Street,
Baguio City, after having been duly sworn to in accordance with law, hereby depose
and state that:

1. I am executing this affidavit to affirm the relevance of the Supreme Court’s


decision in the case People of the Philippines vs. Marmol y Bauso, Jr., G.R. No.
217379, promulgated on November 23, 2016, and to support its importance as
legal precedent in establishing criminal liability based on credible eyewitness
testimony.

2. In the said case, the Supreme Court affirmed the conviction of the accused
based primarily on the clear, consistent, and positive identification by the
prosecution’s eyewitness, whose testimony remained firm and unshaken during
cross-examination.

3. The Court ruled that “when the issue is one of credibility of witnesses, the trial
court’s assessment is generally accorded the highest respect,” especially in the
absence of any showing of improper motive on the part of the witness to falsely
testify against the accused.

4. I affirm that the ruling in People v. Marmol y Bauso, Jr. reflects the principle that
the testimony of a single, credible, and trustworthy eyewitness may suffice for
conviction, provided it establishes the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable
doubt.

5. This legal doctrine is of great significance in upholding justice, as it ensures that


credible victim testimony is given due weight, particularly in cases where
physical evidence is lacking but the witness account is clear and compelling.

6. I am executing this affidavit to support the use of jurisprudence as a legal basis in


advocacy, legal education, or judicial proceedings where the value of
eyewitness testimony is questioned or under scrutiny.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 11th day of April 2025 at Middle
Quarry, Baguio City, Philippines.

Jack E. Bagbaga
Affiant
SUBSCRIBED AND SWORN to before me this 11th day of April 2025 at Vigan City, Ilocos
Sur, affiant having duly exhibited to me her competent proof of identity described
above and known to me to be the same person who executed the foregoing affidavit.

her mother's live-in partner, had sexually assaulted her at their residence in Vigan

sexual abuse by the accused, who was threatening her with harm if she
disclosed the acts. A medical examination confirmed the injuries corresponding
to sexual assault.

4. At the time of the arrest, I duly informed the accused of his rights in accordance
with the Miranda Doctrine and Republic Act No. 7438, specifically his right to
remain silent, the right to counsel, and the charges against him.

5. The accused, Eduardo Marmol y Bauso, Jr., did not resist the arrest, complied
with the process, and was taken into custody without incident.

6. A search incident to the arrest was conducted, but no contraband or relevant


physical evidence was found on his person.

7. The arrest was made solely on the basis of the valid arrest warrant, following the
proper legal procedures outlined in the Rules of Criminal Procedure, and no
rights of the accused were violated during the process.

8. I am executing this affidavit to affirm the legality of the arrest of Eduardo Marmol
y Bauso, Jr., in relation to the ongoing case, and for whatever legal purpose it
may serve.

Further, I affirm that the contents of this affidavit are true and correct to the best of my
knowledge and belief.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 11th day of April 2025, at Middle
