Additionally, the Joint Affidavit of Marcial Dolar, Allan Llatona, and Renante Platil, attached to Peneras Position Paper, gave an even more straightforward account of the events, thus: 1. That on March 29, 2007 at 3:00 P.M. at Sta. Monica, Surigao del Norte, Mayoralty Candidates Rosalinda CA. Penera [sic] and her parties of four (4) kagawads filed their certificate of candidacy at the COMELEC Office; 2. That their [sic] was a motorcade consisting of two jeppneys [sic] and 10 motorcycles after actual registration with the COMELEC with jeeps decorated with balloons and a streamer of Margarito Longos, Board Member Candidate; 3. That the motorcade proceeded to three (3) barangays out of the 11 barangays while supporters were throwing sweet candies to the crowd; 4. That there was merriment and marching music without mention of any name of the candidates more particularly lead-candidate Rosalinda CA. Penera [sic]; 5. That we were in the motorcade on that afternoon only riding in one of the jeepneys.[30] (Emphases ours.) In view of the foregoing admissions by Penera and her witnesses, Penera cannot now be allowed to adopt a conflicting position.
