Hi everyone,
I’m looking for advice, especially from lawyers or anyone who has gone through a similar preliminary investigation in the Philippines.
I filed a criminal complaint for Estafa and Falsification of Documents before the Office of the City Prosecutor.
Here are the documents I submitted:
Complaint-Affidavit
Deed of Absolute Sale
Special Power of Attorney (SPA)
Copies of the alleged fake receipts
Government certifications and verifications supporting my allegations
Demand Letter
Other supporting annexes
During the preliminary investigation and clarificatory hearing, the prosecutor told me that my affidavit lacked itemization of the amounts I paid. She wanted the affidavit to be withdrawn and refiled to include a more detailed breakdown of the payments, even though I had already attached supporting documents and the breakdown also appeared in my demand letter.
This left me confused because I thought the annexes would already support my allegations.
My questions are:
Has anyone experienced a prosecutor dismissing a criminal complaint because the affidavit was not detailed enough, despite having supporting documentary evidence?
If the concern is only the lack of itemization in the affidavit, can that alone result in a finding of no probable cause?
Since my complaint includes both Estafa and Falsification of Documents, are those evaluated separately during preliminary investigation?
At this point, would it be advisable to hire a private lawyer to review my Complaint-Affidavit and assist me with the case?
I’m not asking anyone to decide my case—I’m simply trying to understand whether others have experienced something similar and what happened in their cases.
Thank you very much.

P.S. wala po kasi akong lawyer nung nagfile ako.
Thank you very much.
Problem/Goal: Got scammed for 300k this year. Still ongoing process of recovery but I doubt I will get the money back.
Any advice on how I can move on? Paano ko ba makalimutan yung pera na nascam sakin? Kakasuhan ko naman yung tao kasi matagal pa yun and baka di na talaga mabalik yung pera sakin.
Sa mga may karanasan na mascam na dito paano nyo natanggap and paano kayo nakamove forward? Medyo nadedepressed ako kasi inutang ko lang din yung nascam sakin so nagbabayad pa ko.
Thank you sana matulungan nyo ko.
