The testimony of the witness John Doe, is being offered to prove that he was

QUESTION AND ANSWER
1. Q: Do you swear before this court to tell the truth?
A: Yes, I do.
2. Q: You are being accused of raping your friend, Christine Dacera, and I saw
some of your tears with vehemence, and you denied this. If you didn’t kill
your friend, who did?
A: No one killed Christine. It was accident. I love her as a friend. As a show
of respect to our parents who are also women, that’s how we look at her. I
am her comfort zone. If she’s with me, she feels safe. That’s how we can see
how much I took care of her. For that reason, I can say that she was not
raped. No rape happened to her.

3. Q: What kind of accident?

A: She died due to natural causes.

5. Q: Why weren’t you with your families or relatives during the New Year’s
Eve considering you’re currently residing in province?

New Year’s Eve with my friends here in Manila.

A: Christine.

10.Q: What happened on December 30, 2020?

 A: I had dinner at the Firefly hotel. After that, at roughly 10:00 pm, I
decided to go to BGC. I went to the Loft Bar, and I started to drink around
11:30. That’s the time when I spotted Christine in the bar and I asked her
why she was there. She told me she just met with someone in the area.

11.Q: What was so interesting in room 2207 that you kept on going back there?

13.Q: When Christine kissed you, why did you not back-off?

15.Q: What happened when she stayed in the bathtub?

A: I was with her and she kept on vomiting.

16.Q: When did you leave her?

A: We transferred her to the bed. But before that I borrowed a bathrobe to
2207 and I told Christine that she needs to rest. I wrapped her with the
bathrobe and decided to rest already.

A: There was an extra bed.

did they tell you?

give my own statement.

arrive.
