    occupying the property next to mine.
    6. Q: Is that property, the property where the vulcanizing shop of the

    A: Yes sir.
    7. Q: So what happened after that?
    A: I told him Pedro Cargos name.
    8. Q: What happened next?

    A: Pedro Cargos wife warned the victim that if they would not leave, she
    will call the police.

    at the vulcanizing shop slowly pushed the victim away and told him

    15.Q: And then what happened?
    A: I approached the accused and told him what took place before his
    arrival.
    16.Q: What else?
    A: I told him that the victim was asking about the property and the name
    of its occupant.
    17.Q: What was the reaction of the accused?
    A: He asked me what I told the victim.
    18.Q: What did you say?
    A: I answered that I simply gave his name, Pedro Cargo, and nothing
    more.
    19.Q: What else?
    A: I told him to be careful, since I was thinking that the victim was armed
    with a gun at that time and that he might come back anytime.
    20.Q: How can you tell that the victim was armed with a gun?
    A: When he approached me, I was wondering who he is and observed
    him. I am a business man, so I was cautious.
    21.Q: So?
    A: I noticed a bulge in his waist as if a gun was tucked in there.
    22.Q: What else did you tell Pedro Cargo?
    A: I told him that I overheard the victim telling his companion, a woman,
    that he will get the property back no matter what it takes, and that the
    victim uttered the words, Bantay lang na sila.
    23.Q: What else?
    A: I also told the accused that the victim was seriously angry and furious.

    24.Q: And then what happened?


    A: The accused silently left and went to his vulcanizing shop.
    25.Q: Is that it?
    A: Yes, that is what happened on the 2nd day of March 2014.
    26.Q: Is there anything else that happened after that?
    A: Yes. On the next day or on March 3, 2014, around nine (9) in the
    evening, there was a loud noise around the neighborhood. It was like a
    metal banging against metal. It was non-stop. It was already annoying.
    27.Q: What did you do?
    A: I tried to ignore it. After a few minutes, it stopped.
    28. Q: What else did you do?
    A: I tried to go back to sleep. But before I fell asleep, I heard a
    commotion that lasted for some few minutes. I was suspecting that the
    victim was back again.
    29. Q: What did you do next?
    A: I stayed on my bed. I did not bother to find out what was happening
    outside since I would not want to get involved in the altercation. I was
    afraid that there might been gun shooting.
    30.Q: Do you have a Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) camera installed in
    your establishment?
    A: Yes sir, I do.
    31.Q: Where is it placed or installed?
    A: There is a CCTV camera in front of my store covering the sidewalk
    and a portion of the shop of the accused. There is also a CCTV camera
    inside my store, placed overhead the cashier.
    32.Q: Did the camera outside your store capture what happened next door, at
    the vulcanizing shop?
    A: No sir, it did not. However, everything on that day and the day before
    was recorded.
    33.Q: What exactly was recorded?
    A: The arrival of the victim in his car and when he got out of the car.
