AFFIDAVIT OF EXPLANATION

I, ARLYN CASIMERO BRILLANTES, of legal age, Filipino

Citizen, single and a resident of Sitio Iba, Basak, Lapu-Lapu City,
after having been sworn to in accordance with law, hereby depose
and say:

1. That I am a holder of a Philippine Passport duly issued by

the Department of Foreign Affairs. The details of the said
passport I can no longer recall;

2. That the said Philippine Passport expired while I was in

Kuwait working as a Domestic Worker;

3. That when I decided to leave my employment and return to

my mother country, the Philippines, my employer withheld
the said Philippine Passport to prevent me from going home;

4. Reluctant to stay, I still went home and used my Travel

Document with no. 00249-2015 issued by the Embassy of
the Philippines, State of Kuwait;

5. Considering that my Passport is not physically with me and

such is already expired, I am opting to renew the same for
immediate travel abroad for employment;

6. That the said passport has not been encumbered, sold,

pledge, assigned, alienated, transferred, donated, or given
as collateral for any debt or obligation to or in my favor of
any person or entity;

7. That I hereby assume full criminal, civil and administrative

liability in case of any action, charges, suit, proceeding,
prosecution or investigation that may be filed against me or
any person by any court of justice, tribunal, board, agency,
quasi-judicial body or office should any of the document or
paper I submitted be found dubious, spurious or fake, or
should any of my statements and declarations be found to
be false of unfounded;
 8. That I am executing this Affidavit to attest to the truth of
the forgoing statement and for all legal purposes it may
serve.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto affixed my signature

this 13th day of September 2019 at Cebu City, Philippines.
