Hakuna matata... no worries!! First, you should ask your friend to ask the court for a re-investigation since your friend was not able to file a counter-affidavit before the fiscal. Usually naman it is granted. Syempre, you need a lawyer for that. Then during the preliminary investigation before the fiscal, ayusin nyo na lang kung magkano damage para ma withdraw na yung charges before the MTC. Definitely, the complainant is only looking for the money, nothing more, nothing less. Kung agreeable na kayo, the complainant will just execute an affidavit of desistance, but make it sure that the payment should be done in court before the judge during the hearing specifically scheduled for that purpose.
