In his counter-affidavit, Casiao denied the allegations saying that on the said date, while he was with his two nephews heading to the Office of CFARMC to attend a meeting, they passed by the complainant and his group in the area which serves as home for many fishes including small fishes locally known as “gango”.
“I called their attention and told them not to fish in the said area as they might destroy the gango and kill the young fishes as it was not harvest time yet,” he said.
