THE RESPONDEN'IS

4. Antonio H. Cerilles is the incumbent Provinciaj. Governor of

Zamboanga del Sur. He used to be the Secretary of the Department of

Environment and Natural Resouces (DtrNR) and Representative of the 2^d

District of Zarnboanga del Sur;

5" Aurora tr. Cerilles was the Provincia-l Governor of Zamboanga

dei Sur during thB period 2001 to 2t,110, and is now the Representative of

the province's 2,a District. The Ceriiles couple exchange positions after

serving the maximum three terms of office;

6. For purposes of service of legal processes, "Antonio H. Cerilles

and Aurora E. Cerilles may be served with legal processes, orders andnotices, at their officia-l resid.ence in Sumadat, Dumalinao, Zarnbaanga del

Sur, however, they actually reside at Canuto Enerio Street, Sto. Nino,

Pagadian City;

ANTtrCtrDENT FACTS

7. Both of us were trusted staff and confidants of spouses AntonioH. Cerilles and Aurora E. Cerilles (hereinafter referred to as "Ceri11es

couple") both of whom have held and are still holding powerful positions inthe provincial and national governlnents;

8. As trusted staff and confidants, we were directed to performvarious tasks for the Cerilles couple, including personal ci1es, and oftenworked beyond regular working hou,'s and days. We wqre even required toreport to their residence in Pagadiarr City, and were on their beck and call2417. Sensitive and confidential matters were discussed with us by theCerilles couple ranging from the pol itical, business to personal ones, andwhen circumsrances warranted, we were the few ones assigned personallyby the Cerilles coupie to act decisively on any of these matters. We werethen perceived by the public as authoritative and powerful staff of theCerilles coupie. Our ascendancy extended over the rank and file in theProvincial Government as well as in their household workforce;

9 - But we have reached the point in our lives that we could nolonger, in conscience, foilow the orders of the Cerilles couple. We couldnot allow ourselves to be forever used as instruments and implementers oftheir corrupt and criminal acts, not to mention their penchani to inflictphysical harm upon their politlcal and personal enemies even to the pointof committing murder;

10. In tlie latter part of 2011, we received information that out'

names were ii :luded in a "hit list" of the Provincia-l Special Operations

Group (PSOG), notorious for the extr4judicial kiliings of political and

personal enemies of the Cerilles couple. The PSOG, with headquartersinside the provincial capitoi complex, is headed by Board Member ErnestoMond.arte, a rabidly loyal Cer:illes foilower. The first four names in the

alleged "hit list" are as follows:

1) Balong Molina2) Tyrone Singgo3) Raui Ganub4) Mustapha Piang

1 1. At first, we entertained doubts on the veracity of the "hit 1ist"

and considered it as empty threats and a psy-war tactic to pievent or

hinder us in our daily routine. But subsequent events made us reaiize

that the information on the threats to our lives is reliable, serious a.nd

bound to happen:

a) On November 18, 2O11, Raul Ganub, third man in the "hit list",was gunned down in Barintawak, Pagadian City rnhiie cirivinghis public utility val. The gunman was one of his passeilgers

and a member of the PiiOG. I-Iis assailant has never br:en

arrested;

b) On January 28, 2OL2, a close friend of ours, Mustapha P.

Piang, a former community organizer of the Cerilies couple andthe fourth man in the "hit list", was ambushed along Dao roadin Pagadian City. Fortunately, he suruived the attempt againsthis life. He was able to identify his assailants as members oithe PSOG. Piang was advised by tris family and relatir,'es not topursue any 1ega1 action against the perpetrators since theybelieved that it would only be an exercise in futiiity, given iheimmense power and influence of the Cerilles couple, as whathappened to the Ganub kiliing;

c) Surveiliance teams riding in tandem'on motorcycles, withcutplate numbers, are often seen near our iesidences, askingpeopie nearby for our whereabouts. We have also observed thatwe are also being foiiou,ed or tailed by these teams. Initierliy,the surveiliance teams wet e members of the PSOG but are norvaugmented by other armed groups riding in four-wheel vehicles

' without license plates;

12. We consider the foregcing events and circumstances asprecursors of ;erious attempts against our 1ives. We strongiy believe, asformer truste.: staff and conficlan',s of the Cerilles couple, that oul:knowledge of the corrupt and criminal acts of the Cerilles couple during

of L8

'$-

our employment under them is connected to these events ano

circumstances;

13. Thus, before the Cerille:s couple succeed in permanently

silencing us, \,,: have decid.ed to expose their corrupt and criminal acts

against the people of Zamboanga dei Sur and Pagadian City whom thev

have sworn to serve;

CORRUFTI & CRIMINAL PRACTICES

. 14. As trusted staff and confidants of the Cerilles coupie, we wert3

active participants and first hand witnesses to the highly anomaious,irregular, corrupt and criminal practices of the couple in the provinciai

government. Due to their overwhelming dominance over us and theirsubtle empioyment of pressure and threats on usi we could not Co

otherwise but follow all their orders and instructions to the letter;

Prouincial Funds and Equipntent Spent

And Used For Priuate Pu'rPoses

15. Ail through-out the three consecutive terms (2001-2010) ofthen Governor and now Representalive Aurora Cerilles, provinciai fundswere freely spent and heavy equipmrrnt of the provincial governrnent vo'ere

used for the construction or renovation of buildings and establishmentsowned by the ferilles couple. Office supplies and equipment, as weii as

grocery supplies and kitchen utensils, for their personai and householduse were also paici by the Provincia-l Government;

Modus Operandi

16. Both Governor Antonio Cerilles and then Governor AuroraCerilles personally gave specific instruction to us to withdraw the needed

construction materials, office supplies and equipment, and grocery

supplies, on a "va1e" arrangement, from favored sirppliers, namely; GoldenDaughter Enterprises, AJ Enterprises, Lucky Savers and Crishamie. The,

same instruction was given to us for the needed. hear,y anc-l lighr:\ \a\

equipment from the Provincial Engineer's OlTice. The suppliers and the \Provincial trngineer had earlier been instructed by the Cerilles couple toact favorably and promptiy to all our requests;

17.' When construction materrials or office supplies were needed, abill of materials was given to us by the construction foreman. We thenissued a ovale" slip for the needeil materials to be presented to thesupplier. A government truck was used to haul the materials from thestore to the intended private es,.ablishment of the Cerilles couple^

of 18

J oint Cornplaint-AffidavitRuel G. Molina & Tyrone D. Singgo

Thereafter, the documents to supi:ort the payment of the withdraw-n

materials were prepared, such as Purchase Request for a "ghost" deiivery

or fictitious project, Abstract of Canvas, Purchase Order, Receiving ar-rd

Inspection Report, etc. A11 the supporting documents of the disbursement

vouchers werc falsified. Upon pal'ment of the materials, the Cerilles

couple still demanded for a 3Oo/" kickback from the supplier. It was for

this reason that the prices of the materials were jacked-up b5r the

suppliers to which the Cerilles couple allowed;

18. When heavy or light equipment Was required in the project

privately owned by the Ceriiles couple, we asked the provincial engineer to

assign the needed heavy or light equipment to the project site. The heavy

or:light equipment 'uvas utilized without payment of any rental. The fuel of

the equipment was paid by the Provincial Government using faisified

documents;

19. When we need cash for some urgent malter or activity, the

Cerilles coupie woulci instruct us to get the amount from any of the

favored. suppliers. The supplier was paid, with interest, by again falsifyingthe procurement papers of a "ghost" delivery or fictitious project;

27. We were tasked by the Cerilies couple to cause the pr"eparationof the necessary documents to justify the payments o_fl the mattriaiswithdrawn from the Golden Daughler trnterprises, and destroy or br.Lrn

Page i2 of 18

the corresponding deiivery/trust receipts once the materials were paiC bythe Provincial Government. In compliance with their order, we conferredwith the Provincial Budget Officer, Roger Montealto for the payment of thedelivered materials. We ca11ed him the "Magician" for his task. He was theperson directed by the Ceriiles couple to prepare the necessary documentsfor the delivered materials. Thus, as stated earlier, fictitious projects were

fabricated to serve as bases for the d.ocuments, and that the fatsifiedd"ocuments (i.e. requisition, purchase order, canvas, disburseilentvoucher, check, etc.) were, most often, prepared simultaneously in c.rne

day. Per prior agreement with the Cerilles couple, the falsified"supportingl documents were prepared by the Gold"en DaughterEnterprises;

22. The materials delivered 1o the private residence anci personalbusiness establishments and buildir:gs of the Cerilles couple were chargedto certain on-going projects, mostly to the Amusement,and Events Center(AtrC) in the provincial capitol compound. Among our inner circie, we

called the AEC center the "graveyard of shit" where most "ghost" deliverieswere charged. Incidentaily, the initials of then Governor Aurora Cerilles is"AEC";

23. Upon payment of the materials, as directed by the Cerillescouple, we would ask from the Golden Daughter trnterprises the 3A"/"

"SOP" or kickback based on the amount o[ the check. We personallyreceived fi:om the supplier's representative the "SOP" which was usualiyplaced inside a sealed envelope and gave the same to either of the Ceriliescouple but most of the time to Governor Aurora Cerilles;

24. In view of the limited funds of the Provincial Government, theaccount of the Golden Daughter trnterprises and a few other favouredsuppliers was always prioritized for payment per instruction of the Cerillescouple. Governor Aurora Cerilles decides which supplier to be paid andfor how much. Attached, as Annex "EEE', "FFF'.and "GGG", are some ofthe lists given by Governor Aurora Cr:rilles to the Provincial Treasurer;

i

25. As earlier stated, after the materials indicated in the "T;:ustReceipt" were paid, these receipts were destroyed or burned as ordered bythe Cerilles couple. Fortunateiy, we overlooked to destroy a few of thesetrust receipts which are now being used as documentary evidence of thecouple's corrupt and criminal practices. We are, however, searching forother documents for future filing of other criminal complaints;

paniclry before. uncharacteristically d.ocile, he obeyed whatever his wife

ordered. him to do. A complete opposite to his image as a feared political
