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 and
notices, at their officia-l resid.ence in Sumadat, Dumalinao, Zarnbaanga del
Sur, however, they actually reside at Canuto Enerio Street, Sto. Nino,
Pagadian City;

ti
H. Cerilles and Aurora E. Cerilles (hereinafter referred to as "Ceri11es )wr

the provincial and national governlnents;

8. As trusted staff and confidants, we were directed to perform ilI
it tt /
various tasks for the Cerilles couple, including personal ci1es, and often
worked beyond regular working hou,'s and days. We wqre even required to
i
report to their residence in Pagadiarr City, and were on their beck and call
2417. Sensitive and confidential matters were discussed with us by the
Cerilles couple ranging from the pol itical, business to personal ones, and
when circumsrances warranted, we were the few ones assigned personally
by the Cerilles coupie to act decisively on any of these matters. We were
then perceived by the public as authoritative and powerful staff of the
Cerilles coupie. Our ascendancy extended over the rank and file in the
Provincial Government as well as in their household workforce;
9 - But we have reached the point in our lives that we could no
longer, in conscience, foilow the orders of the Cerilles couple. We could
not allow ourselves to be forever used as instruments and implementers of
their corrupt and criminal acts, not to mention their penchani to inflict
physical harm upon their politlcal and personal enemies even to the point
of committing murder;

3. 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 headquarters
inside the provincial capitoi complex, is headed by Board Member Ernesto
Mond.arte, a rabidly loyal Cer:illes foilower. The first four names in the
alleged "hit list" are as follows:
1) Balong Molina
2) Tyrone Singgo
3) Raui Ganub
4) Mustapha Piang
11. 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 ciriving
his 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 and I
the fourth man in the "hit list", was ambushed along Dao road
in Pagadian City. Fortunately, he suruived the attempt against I
l
his life. He was able to identify his assailants as members oi
I
j
the PSOG. Piang was advised by tris family and relatir,'es not to
pursue any 1ega1 action against the perpetrators since they
believed that it would only be an exercise in futiiity, given ihe
immense power and influence of the Cerilles couple, as what
happened to the Ganub kiliing;
I
c) in tandem'on motorcycles, withcut
Surveiliance teams riding
plate numbers, are often seen near our iesidences, asking
peopie nearby for our whereabouts. We have also observed that
we are also being foiiou,ed or tailed by these teams. Initierliy,
the surveiliance teams wet e members of the PSOG but are norv
'$-
augmented by other armed groups riding in four-wheel vehicles
' without license plates;
12. We consider the foregcing events and circumstances as
precursors of ;erious attempts against our 1ives. We strongiy believe, as
former truste.: staff and conficlan',s of the Cerilles couple, that oul:
knowledge of the corrupt and criminal acts of the Cerilles couple during
Page 3 of L8
Joint Complaint-Affidavit
Ruel G. Molina & Tyrone D. Singgo
4. 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 their
subtle 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) of
then Governor and now Representalive Aurora Cerilles, provinciai funds
were freely spent and heavy equipmrrnt of the provincial governrnent vo'ere
used for the construction or renovation of buildings and establishments
owned by the ferilles couple. Office supplies and equipment, as weii as
grocery supplies and kitchen utensils, for their personai and household
use were also paici by the Provincia-l Government;
Modus Operandi
16. Both Governor Antonio Cerilles and then Governor Aurora
Cerilles 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; Golden
Daughter 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 to
act favorably and promptiy to all our requests;
17.' When construction materrials or office supplies were needed, a
bill of materials was given to us by the construction foreman. We then
issued a ovale" slip for the needeil materials to be presented to the
supplier. A government truck was used to haul the materials from the
store to the intended private es,.ablishment of the Cerilles couple^
Page 4 of 18
Joint Cornplaint-Affidavit
Ruel G. Molina & Tyrone D. Singgo
5. 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 falsifying
the procurement papers of a "ghost" delivery or fictitious project;
Specific Aclis
20. Among the materials we withd.rew from the Golden Daughier
Enterpri.ses and delivered to the private and business establishments and
residence of the Cerilles couple and paid by the Provincial Govel'nirrent
were the folior' ;ng:
Hotel Alinduhaw, Paqcldian Citlt
a) Following the specific instruction of the Cerilles coupie, we
withdrew from the Golden Daughter Elrterprises varioris

fabricated to serve as bases for the d.ocuments, and that the fatsified
d"ocuments (i.e. requisition, purchase order, canvas, disburseilent
voucher, 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 Daughter
Enterprises;
22. The materials delivered 1o the private residence anci personal
business establishments and buildir:gs of the Cerilles couple were charged
to 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" deliveries
were charged. Incidentaily, the initials of then Governor Aurora Cerilles is
"AEC";
23. Upon payment of the materials, as directed by the Cerilles
couple, we would ask from the Golden Daughter trnterprises the 3A"/"
"SOP" or kickback based on the amount o[ the check. We personally
received fi:om the supplier's representative the "SOP" which was usualiy
placed inside a sealed envelope and gave the same to either of the Cerilies
couple but most of the time to Governor Aurora Cerilles;
24. In view of the limited funds of the Provincial Government, the
account of the Golden Daughter trnterprises and a few other favoured
suppliers was always prioritized for payment per instruction of the Cerilles
couple. Governor Aurora Cerilles decides which supplier to be paid and
for how much. Attached, as Annex "EEE', "FFF'.and "GGG", are some of
the lists given by Governor Aurora Cr:rilles to the Provincial Treasurer;
i
25. As earlier stated, after the materials indicated in the "T;:ust
Receipt" were paid, these receipts were destroyed or burned as ordered by
the Cerilles couple. Fortunateiy, we overlooked to destroy a few of these
trust receipts which are now being used as documentary evidence of the
couple's corrupt and criminal practices. We are, however, searching for
other documents for future filing of other criminal complaints;

14. 26. We were present when tiie Cerilles couple told Jacqueline C"
Delos Reyes, the proprietor of the Golden Daughter Enterprises, about
their desire to withdraw materials from her store on a "vale" arrangement
and that we were authorized to withdraw the materials, a:ld that the
Provincial Go,r'ernment would pay for the materials. She requested,
though, that the prices be "adjusted" or jacked-up to compensate for the
cost of money considering that the processing of the payment in the
capitol takes a iong period of time;
ILLEGAL "SUE?RES' NUMBERS GAME
l; Tyrone D. Singgo, was prrvy to the operation of the illegai "SUETRtrS"
numbers game, and further state: THAT-
27. Sometime in the middle part of 2009, then Governor Aurora
Cerilles asked me to approach the operator of the "SUETRtrS" numbers
garne and to negotiate and demand "protection mone/ and monthly
payola for the Cerilles couple. I declined citing my heary rvorkload as her
Chief of Staff. Another trusted staff, Imelda "Neneng" Verdida and Riclq,
Libre were instead given the task. The negotiation with the .SUtrTRtrS'
operator resulted in having the said operator hand to the Cerilles couple
the amount of P10.0M and monthl-1r payola of P3.0M. However, in less
than a month, the Cerilles couple had the "SUETRES" operator raideC for
failing to give them a larger share o1'the operations which they ciemanded
after receiving the aforementioned amount of P10.0M;

29. However, due to the ineptness of Lrza Aranding in operating the
"SUETRES" which resulted in low profits, the Cerilles, couple persoirally
took over the operations in the last week of July 2010. Under the directg
