Según manifiesta
Well según's a tricky little fish, let's see.....
A continuación, según manifiesta el declarante, tomó conciencia de sus obligaciónes laborales para con la bodega Mi Perú en la que cumple funciones de vendedor. Se levantó y se dirigió al citado emplazamiento, con el inconveniente de que a la mitad de camino fue victima de un repentino ataque de agotamiento y decidió volver a su domicilio a gozar de un merecido reposo.
Nextly, according to the testifiying (manifestar is testify, to express, to demonstrate, I think here it is testify, seems odd the present tense following según) It seems like "manifiesta" should a noun "testimony" but our dictionary doesn't corroborate that.
Nextly, according to the testimony of the witness, he became aware of his work dutes for the storeroom (maybe it's winestore here?) Mi Perú (??) in which he performs duties as a vender. He rose and lead himself to the aforementioned location, with the inconvenience that in the middle of the street he was a victim of a sudden attack of exhaustion and decided to return home to enjoy a well deserved rest.
So many definations for inconveniente, and not one is inconvenience even though it seems to fit best there.
Gracias.

...but our dictionary doesn't corroborate that.
That's funny! You don't trust the RAE, which is a dictionary used by 400 million people, but you trust the dictionary in this site above your own intuition. Well, according to the RAE:
manifestar.
1. tr. Declarar [declare], dar a conocer [announce]. U. t. c. prnl.
Real Academia Española © Todos los derechos reservados
declarante.
1. adj. Que declara. U. m. c. s.
2. com. Der. Persona que declara ante el juez.

I think the definition is pretty clear.
Now the tenses:
...seems odd the present tense following según
Why does it seem odd? It is a perfect standard use of the Spanish present tense. What is the problem?
It seems like "manifiesta" should a noun "testimony" but our dictionary doesn't corroborate that.
From the RAE Escrito en que se hace pública declaración de doctrinas o propósitos de interés general.
Ok so there it is... as a noun (I guess 'M" is noun, don't ask me how that is short for "sustantivo") But this site's dictionary is far easier to navigate and rarely lets me down because I am not fluent in Spanish. The RAE is in Spanish. All of it. For every check to the RAE brings more questions than answers.
Example "Written in that one makes public declaration of doctrines or propósitos of general interest.
From the RAE propósito. - Ánimo o intención de hacer o de no hacer algo.
So it looks like declaration. And I think Ánimo is cheer or encouragement so I don't get that there.
And I have not really seen según followed by present tense so I don't know how it should be used, especially since the manifiesta I listed that "should be noun" actually was one. According to ------ noun. How would it work with a verb? According to ------- jumping. ? I wouldn't understand it.
