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.
