1. Q Please state your name and other personal circumstances for the record.
A I am Miko Gruspe, Filipino and of legal age, married and a resident of No. 9
Padre St. Damaso Subdivision Pasay City.

2. Q Do you know why you are here?

 A Yes, because I am the complainant in the criminal action for qualified theft.

A Yes, the accused is Phil Salazar.

4. Q How did you meet Phil Salazar?

5. Q What happened then if any?

A I immediately called the accused and offered him the job as a household helper.

6. Q What was the result of that call if any?

A He accepted the job and we agreed that he could start on June 20, 2020. Since
he was in the province at that time, I even purchased a plane ticket so he can
arrive in Manila on or before June 20, 2020.

7. Q What happened when you have finally met?

A I oriented him of his duties and responsibilities. I also showed him around my
house in order to familiarize him with the area.

He started working the following day or on June 21, 2020 to be precise.

9. Q What happened next if any?

A On July 15, 2020 when the accused was out on a day off, I was going through
my cabinet, looking for my Rolex watch. I was not able to find the said item
and decided to ask the respondent as to its whereabouts through a text message.
He replied that he had not seen the watch but volunteered to look for it once he
returned. However, I had forgotten to inquire about it after that day.

10. Q So what happened next if any?

A On July 30, 2020, when respondent was having his customary day-off, I had
noticed that my Air Fryer was missing. On the same day, I also checked my
drawers and I discovered that my Polo Perfume and iPad were also missing.

11. Q So what happened next if any?

A I decided to report the incident to the police that same day, but before I left my
house, my neighbor, Ms. Sydney Valencia, approached me and said that she
kept seeing the Respondent talking to a man by the gate, and saw on July 29,
2020, between 1:00 to 2:00 PM, that said man was permitted to enter the house
by the Respondent and later exited the premises while carrying the
Respondent's belongings with the addition of a big brown bag.

12. Q What happened next if any?

A I finally reported the incident to the Pasay Police Station on that same day and
tried to contact the Respondent, but he could not be reached. He never showed
up for work thereafter.

13. Q It seems that you are holding several papers, may I know what are those?
A I am holding copies of proof of ownership that the accused had stolen from me.
I would like to include these pieces of evidence as proof of the crime of
qualified theft and as actual damages thereof.

14. Q I have no further question. Do you have anything to say?

A No more.
