COMMENT/OPPOSITION

To stress, allegations in a
Sinumpaang Salaysay are
not evidence per se. There is
no proof of sexual
intercourse or lascivious
conduct, performed with a
child exploited in
prostitution or subjected to
sexual abuse, or that the
child, whether male or
female, is below 18 years of
age extant in the said exhibit
other than the bare
allegation of the private
complainant.
“C” Complaint Sheet Admits the existence and
authenticity of said exhibit
but objects to the purpose
for which it was offered for
being self-serving, that the
same are mere conclusions
of law, and that the same are
not supported by the
evidence on record.
