I know for a fact that the suspicion against him was a mistake because from about 10:00 PM to 1:00 AM, from the evening of July 16, 1997 to early morning of July 17, 1997, I met him at the R and R Bar in Katipunan, Quezon City, together with our friends, namely Monalisa Del Gallego, Ma.

       4. I stayed in Metro Manila for about a week from July 16, 1997 when I visited my sisters Mona Lisa Del Gallego and Ma. Cristina Del Gallego at Cedar Mansion, Pasig, Metro Manila;

        6. I execute this affidavit in order to establish the truth of the facts stated above and to clear Mr. Francisco Juan Larrañaga from suspicion of having participated in said kidnapping.
