What is an

Affidavit?
 “A written statement of facts,
sworn to and signed by a
deponent before a notary public
or some other authority having
the power to witness an oath.”
What to say
in an
affidavit?
 • Everything you say
in your affidavit must
be true to the best of
your knowledge.
• An affidavit must
contain only facts.
 • Don’t include
"I believe that" or
"I think that,".
 Some other
important tips
:
1. Use plain language

Write simply and use

short sentences.
2. Be organized and clear
Number each paragraph
and list facts in
chronological order
(in the order they
happened).
 3. Be precise
Think about who, what,
when, where, and how.
Provide exact dates. If you
can't be exact, make your
best estimate.
 4. Use the word "I“
Write in the first person, using
"I", instead of "the affiant,"
"he/she," or "they." This will
help you stick to the rules about
facts and relevance.
5. Format
 6. Scilicet
Republic of the Philippines)
City of Baguio) s.s.

SS is the abbreviation of Scilicet which mean to wit;

namely. It is used to particularize a general
statement. Thus, Republic of the Philippines, SS, City
of Baguio means: In the Republic of the Philippines:
but more particularly in the City of Baguio
