AFFIDAVIT-COMPLAINT
I, RIZA A. MALATE, 35 years old, married, and a resident of
Block 30, Lot 11, New York Street, Phase 4, V&G Subdivision
TaclobanCity, after having been duly sworn to in accordance with law,
hereby deposes and says THAT:
1. I am the mother of Rhyzza Mae A. Malate, 12 years old,
enrolled as a Grade Six Pupil at Liceo Del VerboDivino,
Tacloban City. A machine copy of the birth certificate of
Rhyzza Mae A. Malate is hereunto attached and made as an
integral part hereof as Annex “A”;
2. Last July 1, 2013, on or about 9:30 P.M.,my daughter
Rhyzza Mae A. Malate with her cousin Angelyn A. Gonzaga,
asked for my permission to attend the funeral of their
grandmother, the lateRuby Azucena.
3.Because of the assurance of Angelyn that she will be looking
and taking care of Rhyzza Mae, I allowed them to go ahead
of me as I was also planning of going there and that the
place of the wake was only a few houses away. While I was
on my way to the wake, I heard a commotion at a near
distance, which was followed by shouting and crying so I
hurriedly went to the place. Upon my arrival, I saw my
daughter lying in the ground, bathe in her own blood, with
Angelynhoarsely shouting and crying for help. Trembling and
lost for words, I asked Angelyn who was the culprit of the
crime which she answered without hesitation as one named
Dino Q. dela Cruz.
I asked her where Dino is and she
replied, “dumalagannatita” ( he has already fled auntie).

Crying for help, I asked and begged the people around us to
help me bring my daughter to the nearest hospital which was
responded to with haste by Alan Burt Altar and other
relatives who were around. The sworn statement of Alan Burt
Altar is hereunto attached and made an integral part of this
complaint as Annex “B”;
4.Upon arrival at the Tacloban City Hospital, Dr. Pia Gomez,
immediately attended my daughter and after a thorough
examination, declared her dead on arrival. The medico-legal
autopsy report, the NSO death certificate and a certification
from the City Civil Registrar of Rhyzza Mae A. Malate is
hereunto attached and made an integral part of the
complaint as Annex “C” , “ D”,and “E”, respectively;
5. While at the hospital, I inquired Angelyn if the said Dino Q.
dela Cruz was the same Dino Q.
dela Cruz who is our
neighbor and who came to our house earlier that day to
borrow money from me which she positively identified as the
same person. The sworn statement of Angelyn A. Gonzaga
is hereunto attached and made an integral part of this
complaint as Annex “F”;
6. I denied the request of said Dino Q. dela Cruz because of
his notorious character in our neighborhood as a drunkard,
gambler and without a permanent job andthat after the said
refusal to lend money, he mumbled and uttered to me that I
would surely regret my decision which statement I took for
granted.
7. I immediately reported the stabbing incident on or about
12:00 o’clock midnightat the Marasbaras Police Station
which is the nearest police station. The original copy of the
excerpt of the police blotter duly issued by Senior Police
