Re: Custody and Protection of Children

Sir:

Greetings!

This is to inform you that my client, Mrs. Emma Sacote, wishes to settle amicably the issues
concerning the custody and protection of your children.

It is a fact that you and Mrs. Emma Sacote are de facto seperated since April 16, 2012, which
was the date when both parties signed an agreement to formalize your break-up. My client
informed you that she will never come back to u anymore. Moreover, it was agreed that that
you will have the custody of Trishia, who is your eldest child, and my client will have TJ.

At the beginning, the situation seemed fine. My client lived with the situation that you can see
TJ and she can see Trishia at any time of the day. Unfortunately, you decided not to let my
client see her daughter anymore. Such act caused a lot of pain on my client, who as a mother
wanted to show her love and affection to her children.

In addition, my client would like to inform you that all the threats which you made against her
and her family were all documented. Let me just inform you that the State shall exert efforts
to address violence committed against women and children in keeping with the fundamental
freedoms guaranteed under the Constitution and the Provisions of the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights, the convention on the Elimination of all forms of discrimination Against
Women, Convention on the Rights of the Child and other international human rights
instruments of which the Philippines is a party. In fact, the legislature enacted RA No. 9262,
otherwise known as "Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004", to
address the rampant abuses committed against women and their children. Thus, I am warning
you not commit the same wrongful acts against my clent and her family.

Last March 23, 2014, my client wanted to pick up Trishia but unfortunately you refused to let
her bring her child. You threatened her. You tried to kick and punch her. You said that USA
LANG KA LAKANG NIMU! and added DAGHAN KO AMIGO KAHULAMAN
ARMAS PWEDE IPAPATAY KA NAKO OR AKO MOPATAY NIMO. As a result, my
client was force to hire the services of a lawyer to ensure her safety and that of her children.

My client only desires what is best for your children. She wants that Trishia and TJ to live
together. She is not asking for any monetary commitment from your side. My client merely
wants a peacefull new life as she is wishing that you get a peaceful new life too. She hopes
that you will agree with the following:

1. Custody of Trishia will be with my client so that she can enroll there to study in
Carcar for S.Y. 2014-2015;
2. Hand over Trishia to the my client on or before May 25, 2014 so that she can bring her
to Carcar;
3. Let my client and her family live in peace and that you will no longer threaten her
anymore;
4. She will never ask for any financial support from you for the kids;
5. You may have supervise visits with the kids. However, you must first make an
appointment with my clients mom and dad in Carcar; and
6. You must not do any act that will violate the agreemt between you and my client.

If you agree, then please write a signed written agreement containing the above-
mentioned terms on or before May 23, 2014.

If you have any queries, you may call my lawyer, Atty. Judiel M.Pareja, by diailing his office
number (032)- 422-1249.

To achieve a peaceful and more harmonious way to ease things out, we believe that amicable
settlement would prove to be the best solution. However, should you fail to heed my clients
demand, I will be constrained to take the proper court actions. The undersigned would like to
remind you of the discomfort, inconvenience, expenses and embarassment that go along with
having to face court litigations.

Sincerely yours,


ATTY. J UDI EL M. PAREJ A
