BARANGAY
BLOTTER
Compiled by Carlo H. Andrion
The following are real excerpts (including punctuations, grammatical errors, capitalizations. and phrasing) from the Barangay Blotter of a Barangay somewhere in Luzon, Philippines. A blotter is a logbook containing the narrative reports of crimes, and accidents happened or just simply any libelous statements made that are reported to the barangay authorities. A blotter is somehow an acceptable legal basis on trial courts with respect to the affidavits reported and written by either the complainants or respondents.
The editor has compiled these blotters for entertainment purposes only. The editor now owns the original manuscript of this blotter and is by far not intended for public reading. Names, location, plate numbers of vehicles, entities involved or any other relevant information were changed to protect their real identity. Read and learn through the mistakes of others.
1. “Mr. Pedro Pedra coordinated on Barangay Secretary. Was told me dat confile a blotter. Purposes he have a suspek to do a negative symbol sign.” (Iniisip ko kung anong negative sign ‘yan. Integers ba yan?)
