Legal writing is the foundation of legal forms. Undeniably, a lawyer spends most
of his time drafting and writing pleadings, briefs, complaints and similar documents
with the object of persuading the court. Simply, the job of the lawyer, as to his clients
cause, is to always please the court. And the ideal medium in accomplishing this job is
writing. For Lincoln, a lawyers time and advice are his stock in trade, and such are
expressed in, most often, written words.
In the law profession, there is always a room for improvement, much so for the
law students. As claimed by Judge Painter, legal writing has been bad for a long time
and, indeed, old ideas die hard. But he likewise said that writing is a skill that can be
learned not that one can necessarily learn to be Holmes but a lawyer can
substantially improve communication. Of course, a law student is not an exception to
this progress.
For the purpose of aiding the legal profession, including legal education, in either
enhancing or improving ones legal writing skill, discussed below is a restatement of

Writing 201.
than on June 14, 2000, or worse, on or aboutthis is not an indictment. Tell what
the case is aboutonly the material facts and why they are important.
As a general rule, most dates are not important. Unless an exact date is
important, leave it out. Instead, tell what the case is aboutonly the material facts, and
why they are important.
Keep it Short
A lawyer must strive to write succinctly. It is much harder to write a short brief
than a long one. Too much space is a temptation to write all (or more than) what is
known about the subject. Make every word count, and the document will be much more
convincingthe reader might think that the lawyer know more than what he wrote, not
less.
Citations Go in Footnotes
Lawyers long ago forfeited much readability by including citations in the body of
the text, rather than in footnotes. This practice should cease, especially now that
footnoting references is simple.
Citations belong in footnotes. The reader must know that she does not need to
read the footnotesthey are for reference only. Then, the constant glancing up and
down is not necessary. If footnotes were a rational form of communication, Darwinian
selection would have resulted in the eyes being set vertically

Though you should avoid cluttering up your document with too many incidental
comments, sometimes they fit nicely. A dash provides the greatest emphasisit is a

Always Question Of
It is all right to write Philippine Supreme Court instead of Supreme Court of the
Philippines. Question prepositional phrasesoffrom. There is nothing wrong with
possessive. Hence, the courts docket in place of the docket of the court is prettily
acceptable, even preferred.
Purge Lawspeak
Eschew legalese. Hereinafter, aforesaid, and the like do not add anything but
wordiness and detract from readability. Many studies show that legalese is the number
one complaint of appellate judges and clerks. Use Latin phrases sparingly. A fewres
ipsa loquitur, respondeat superiorare perhaps acceptable, but do not litter an opinion
with mangled pieces of murdered Latin. Cut out such, such as such motion. The

register. The notaries public were also required to send to the Clerk of court of the
province wherein he exercises his office, a copy of the entries made in his register during
the month.7
At present, the law on notaries public is governed by A.M. No. 02-8-13-SC or the
2004 Rules on Notarial Practice which is discussed in the subsequent section. Another
development, and the most recent advance in legal writing, is the approval of A.M. No.
12-8-8-SC or the Judicial Affidavit Rule which is likewise presented in this book.
10
The 2004 Rules on Notarial Practice took effect on August 1, 2004 and has
been governing the rules on notarial practice, specifically the appointment of
notaries and the performance and exercise of their official functions.
11
As to parties involved
A notary public is not to perform a notarial act if the person involved as signatory
to the instrument or document is not in the notary's presence personally at the time of
the notarization; and is not personally known to the notary public or otherwise
11
12

identified by the notary public through competent evidence of identity as defined by the
Rules.13
He is disqualified from performing a notarial act if he is a party to the instrument
or document that is to be notarized and he will receive, as a direct or indirect result, any
commission, fee, advantage, right, title, interest, cash, property, or other consideration,
except as provided by these Rules and by law; or is a spouse, common-law partner,
ancestor, descendant, or relative by affinity or consanguinity of the principal within the
fourth civil degree.14
As to collection of fees
A notary public shall not require payment of any fees prior to the performance of
a notarial act unless otherwise agreed upon.16 It is likewise prohibited to collect any fee
or compensation of any kind except those expressly provided in the Rules 17 such as the
notarial fees and travel fees and expenses when traveling to perform a notarial act. 18

stated that the respondent notary public should not have relied on the CTC presented
by the impostor in view of the ease with which community certificates are obtained
these days. As a matter of fact, recognizing the established unreliability of a CTC in
proving the identity of a person who wishes to have his document notarized proving the
identity of a person, we did not include it in the list of competent evidence of identity
that notaries public should use in ascertaining the identity of persons appearing before
them to have their documents notarized. 21
Competent evidence of identity may alternatively refer to the oath or affirmation
of one credible witness not privy to the instrument, who is personally known to the
notary public and who personally knows the individual, or of two credible witnesses
neither of whom is privy to the instrument who each personally knows the individual
and show to the notary public identification.22

Thus, in order to reduce the time needed for completing the testimonies of
witnesses in cases under litigation, on February 21, 2012 the Supreme Court approved
for piloting by trial courts in Quezon City the compulsory use of judicial affidavits in
place of the direct testimonies of witnesses. It is then reported that such piloting has
quickly resulted in reducing by about two-thirds the time used for presenting the
testimonies of witnesses, thus speeding up the hearing and adjudication cases.
Consequently, the Supreme Court Committee on the Revision of the Rules of
Court, headed by Senior Associate Justice Antonio T. Carpio, and the Sub-Committee on
the Revision of the Rules on Civil Procedure, headed by Associate Justice Roberto A.
Abad, have recommended for adoption a Judicial Affidavit Rule that will replicate
nationwide the success of the Quezon City experience in the use of judicial affidavits.
In sum, the Rule is intended to expedite court proceedings.

In Judicial Affidavit
The party presenting the judicial affidavit of his witness in place of direct testimony shall
state the purpose of such testimony at the start of the presentation of the witness. The adverse
party may move to disqualify the witness or to strike out his affidavit or any of the answers
found in it on ground of inadmissibility. The court shall promptly rule on the motion and, if
granted, shall cause the marking of any excluded answer by placing it in brackets under the
initials of an authorized court personnel, without prejudice to a tender of excluded evidence
under Section 40 of Rule 132 of the Rules of Court.36
In Exhibits
Upon the termination of the testimony of a partys last witness, the said party
shall immediately make an oral offer of evidence of his documentary or object exhibits,
piece by piece, in their chronological order, stating the purpose or purposes for which he
offers the particular exhibit. After each piece of exhibit is offered, the adverse party
shall state the legal ground for his objection, if any, to its admission, and the court shall
immediately make its ruling respecting that exhibit. Since the documentary or object
exhibits form part of the judicial affidavits that describe and authenticate them, it is
sufficient that such exhibits are simply cited by their markings during the offers, the
objections, and the rulings, dispensing with the description of each exhibit. 37

AFFIDAVITS
An affidavit is a formal sworn statement of fact, signed by the declarant called an
affiant and witnessed by a taker of oath such as a notary public.
60
38
The uses of affidavits include (1) To allow evidence to be gathered from witnesses
or participants who may not be available to testify in person before the court, or who
may otherwise fear for their safety if their true identities are revealed in court; and (2)
To obtain a declaration on a legal document that the information provided by the
applicant is truthful to the best of the applicants knowledge. 61
If an affidavit is notarized or authenticated, it will also include a caption with a
venue and title in reference to judicial proceedings. These may be written in the first or
third person, depending on who drafted the document. If in the first person, the
documents component parts are:
1. A commencement which identifies the affiant;
2. The individual averments, almost always numbered as mandated by law, each
one making a separate claim;
3. A conclusion generally stating that everything is true, under penalty of perjury,
fine, or imprisonment; and
4. An attestation, usually a jurat, at the end certifying the affiant made oath and the
date.62
Parts of an Affidavit63
The Venue is the designation of the place where the affidavit was taken to show
whether the notary public has acted within his jurisdiction.
The Scilicet/Subscripsi (SS) is used to particularize a general statement, i.e. republic
of the Philippines, SS, City of Baguio means: in the Republic of the Philippines, more
particularly in the City of Baguio.
The Body consists of the facts attested to by the affiant, who should have actual
knowledge of the same and not merely a belief thereof. The allegations therein should be
full, certain, and exact. In short, accuracy of the statements in the affidavit is
indispensable.

incorporated under the laws of Philippines and the member of the Board of Directors of the
Company MANUEL P. PASIO.
RECITALS
142
A. The Company has provided in its Articles of Incorporation that a director's liability as a
director of the Company will be limited to the extent permitted by the Delaware Corporations
Code.
B. The Company has provided in its Bylaws that the Company will indemnify directors to the
maximum extent permitted by the Delaware Corporations Code and will advance expenses of
litigation to its directors subject to an undertaking to repay such expenses if it is determined that
they may not be reimbursed by the Company.
C. In order to induce Director to serve as a member of the Board of Directors of the
Company, the Company desires to provide Director with the following additional contractual
assurances.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Director agree as follows:
1. Reimbursement of Expenses. The Company will reimburse Director for all reasonable and
necessary expenses incurred by Director in connection with Director's service as a member of
the Board of Directors of the Company.
2. Advancement of Expenses. In the event that Director at any time is, or is threatened to be,
sued or made a party to any judicial, administrative or investigative proceeding as a result of
Director's service as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (or Director's providing
services at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation or other entity), the Company will, upon the request of Director (and within ten (10)
days of the presentment of invoices therefor), advance the costs and expenses, including
attorneys' fees, incurred by Director in defending such suit or other proceeding, or investigating
any such threat, subject to an undertaking by Director, if required by law, to repay the Company
if it is determined by a final judicial decision (from which there is no right of appeal) that
Director is not entitled, under applicable law, the Bylaws, or this Agreement to be indemnified
by the Company for such expenses. The burden of proving that Director is not so entitled shall
be on the Company.
3. Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify Director, to the maximum extent
permitted by law, against any and all liabilities, costs, expenses, amounts paid in settlement and
damages incurred by Director as a result of any lawsuit, judicial, administrative or investigative
proceeding (criminal or civil, including an action by or in the right of the Company) in which

Director's service as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (or Director's providing
services at the request of the Company as a director, officer, agent or employee of another
corporation or other entity). The termination of any lawsuit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendre or its equivalent, shall not, of itself,
create a presumption that (i) Director did not act in good faith, (ii) Director did not act in a
manner which Director reasonably believed to be or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company or (iii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, Director had no reasonable
cause to believe that Director's conduct was unlawful.

agreement and independent of the others, so that if any provision hereof shall be judicially
determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such determination shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of any other provision. In the event any provision hereof is determined to be
unenforceable, the provision's effect shall be deemed to be limited so as to be equal to the
143
maximum effect which would be enforceable. This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced
in accordance with the laws within the Philippines and shall be binding upon the Company and
its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Director, his heirs, personal
representatives and assigns. No cancellation, amendment or modification of this Agreement
shall be effective unless in writing signed by both parties.

arbitration by Director under this Agreement to enforce or interpret any of the terms hereof,
Director shall be entitled to be paid all court costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, incurred by Director with respect to such action or arbitration, unless as a part of such
action, a court of competent jurisdiction or the arbitrator(s) determines that each of the material
assertions made by Director as a basis for such claim was not made in good faith or was
frivolous. In the event of any action instituted or a claim submitted to arbitration by or in the
name of the Company under this Agreement or to enforce or interpret any of the terms of this
Agreement, Director shall be entitled to be paid all court costs and expenses, including
attorneys' fees, incurred by Director in defense of such action or claim (including with respect to
Director's counterclaims and cross-claims made in such action or arbitration), unless as a part of

such action or claim was made in bad faith or was frivolous.

EJECTMENT CASES
Ejectment is also known as accion interdictal where the issue is the right of
physical or material possession of the subject real property independent of any
claim of ownership by the parties involved. 70
Unlawful Detainer
In unlawful detainer cases, an allegation that the defendant is unlawfully
withholding possession from the plaintiff is deemed sufficient. The phrase has been
held to imply possession on the part of the defendant which was legal in the
beginning, having no other source than a contract, express or implied, and which
later expires as a right.71
70
71
169
Forcible Entry
In forcible entry, the plaintiff must allege and prove his prior physical possession
of the property.72 Likewise, it must also be alleged that the entry was by force,
intimidation, threat, strategy, or stealth.

on April 16, 2013;
2. That in the said Notice, the promulgation of the decision is set on April 19, 2013, 9

2) That the undersigned admitted that she has inadvertently filed the Notice of Appeal of the
above entitled case to the ECC on November 20, 2012 to which a Notice of Appeal with
Formal Entry of Appearance & Motion for Extension of Time to File Petition with Payment
of Filing/Docket Fees was filed on December 18, 2012;
3) That the undersigned counsel prayed for an extension for filing the petition, considering:
a. That she is saddled with out-of-town family affairs which include inheritance
matters;
b. That it is the policy of this Honorable Court of Appeals to certify the documents of
the case which will be taken from the office of ECC in Manila, therefore the
undersigned needs more time to secure said documents in Manila; and
c. All government offices (ECC) were closed due to the Christmas Holidays;
4) That the trend not to consider the delay in filing a claim for workmans compensation as
non-jurisdictional defect is justified by Article 24. The employees compensation vis-a-vis the
employer has always been a marked disadvantage. (Central Azucarrera v. WCC, 133, Phil.
539)
There is a need of protecting the workman whose inferiority is marked by his
disadvantage. (Central Azucarrera Don Pedro v. WCC, 24 SCRA 484 [1968])
Art. 24 and 1332 of the Civil Code and the principles on contracts of adhesion are
exceptions to the general rule.
Art. 1332 which supplements Article 24 of the Civil Code reads:
When one of the parties is unable to read, or if the contract is in a language
not understood by him and mistake or fraud is alleged, the person enforcing the
contract must show that the terms thereof have been fully explained to the former.
5) That to be candid with this Honorable Court, this counsel is a new practitioner and her
shortcomings should not bind the poor worker and deprive him of justice;
6) That the Petition for Review was sent through registered mail on December 20, 2012;
7) Thereby the undersigned counsel begs for the consideration of the Petition for Review which
was earlier sent on December 20, 2012.
183
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, it is respectfully prayed that the resolution on December 31, 2012 be set
aside and to consider the Petition for Review which was earlier sent on December 20, 2012.

v.
ROGELIO TAN,
Accused.
x-----------------------------------------x
Private Complainant through undersigned Private Prosecutor and under the direct
control and supervision of the Public Prosecutor and unto this Honorable Court respectfully
states:
1. That in an Information filed by the Office of the Prosecutor dated December 22, 2012,
Accused, ROGELIO TAN was charged for ESTAFA under other deceits of Article 318 of
the Revised Penal Code in a Complaint filed by the Private Complainant, RAMIL
ASUNCION;
2. That the basis of the Honorable Public Prosecutor in charging the Accused with Estafa is
the provision on other deceits under Article 318 of the Revised Penal Code stating among
others that, the respondent or even her corporation do not actually own the lot sold to
the Private Complainant, the respondent must be held liable under Article 318 of the
Revised Penal Code.
192
3. That the Accused should have been charged for ESTAFA under ARTICLE 315
Paragraph 2a of the Revised Penal Code and not under Article 318 which provides that,
ESTAFA could be committed by means of false pretenses or fraudulent acts executed
prior to or simultaneously with commission of the fraud by using a fictitious name, or
falsely pretending to possess power, influence, qualifications, PROPERTY, credit,
agency, business transactions; or by means of other similar deceits;
4. That the Affidavit Complaint of the Private Complainant stated therein that the Accused
obtained money from the Private Complainant in the amount of FOUR HUNDRED
THOUSAND PESOS (PHP400,000.00) to be used to build a house over a property
which the Accused offered to the Private Complainant. It turned out however that the
land was not the property of RAMIL ASUNCION or in the name of his corporation. With
all the representations and false pretenses made by the Accused that he owned a
property and assuming the obligation to build a house thereon but subsequently no
property or building was erected, shows that indeed the Accused only deceived the
Private Complainant to obtain his money;
5. That the act of the Accused in misrepresenting that he is the owner of a lot being the
subject of a house and lot package to obtain money from the Private Complainant and
misappropriating the same constitutes the crime of ESTAFA under ARTICLE 315
Paragraph 2a of the Revised Penal Code;
6. That the Private Complainant, RAMIL ASUNCION respectfully requests that a REINVESTIGATION be conducted on the above-entitled case to resolve whether or not
the case falls within the ambit of ARTICLE 315 Paragraph 2a constituting the crime
of ESTAFA by falsely pretending to possess property and not ARTICLE 318 of the
Revised Penal Code;
7. That this Motion is not in any manner intended to cause delay in the speedy disposition
of this instant case or to frustrate the ends of justice.
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, premises duly considered, it is most respectfully prayed of the
Honorable Court to GRANT this Motion for RE-INVESTIGATION and to issue an Order for the
RE-INVESTIGATION of the above-entitled case.
Such other relief as law and justice may warrant are likewise prayed for.
Respectfully submitted this 19th day of April 2013, in the City of Baguio, Philippines.

to, or subversive of, the basic and fundamental objective of observing the interest
of justice evenhandedly, without fear or favor to any and all litigants alike,
whether rich or poor, weak or strong, powerless or mighty. Only by strict
adherence to the established procedure may be publics perception of the
impartiality of the prosecutor be enhanced.
1. The Supreme Court, in a recent case also involving herein accused has made the foregoing
strong admonition against public prosecutors.
2. It is unfortunate that despite the admonition, the panel of prosecutors who conducted the
preliminary investigation of the instant cases chose to defy such clear warning by no less than
the Supreme Court, as will be discussed below.
In the conduct of preliminary investigation, the members of the
Investigating Panel committed grave prosecutorial misconduct which deprived
accused of their right to due process.
------------------------------------------------------
196
Given the above and considering that accused-movant was charged with non-bailable crime of
two counts of murder, the investigating panel should have subpoenaed the complete result of the
original police investigations on the killings.
c) The need to establish the identity of the complaining witnesses
This Honorable Court can take judicial notice of the fact that when the herein complaining
witnesses filed a petition to disqualify accused-movants party-lists for last years electoral
contest, the same witnesses appeared before the COMELEC with their faces covered with
scarves. They refused to remove these scarves on the shallow pretext of personal security,
197
198
would have been more than satisfied if the witnesses for the prosecution were
present.
5.4. The panel readily dismissed accused-movants manifestation and request to
allow them to submit a Memorandum.
Although the submission of a Memorandum is not required, Section 33 of the DOJ Manual for
Prosecutors allows the filing of the same in cases involving difficult or complicated questions of
law or fact.
5.6. Despite express manifestation, the panel did not give the accused-movants the
opportunity to avail of their right to file a Motion for Reconsideration pursuant to
and within the period provided under Section 56 of the Manual for Prosecutors.
The evidence submitted by the prosecution is insufficient to establish probable
cause against accused-movants.
-----------------------------------------------------6. An analysis of the evidence presented by the prosecution against each accused-movant reveals
the impossibility of the accused having participated in the alleged killings.
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, premises considered, in the interest of justice and to uphold the rule of
law, accused COCO M. MARTIN prays for the proper judicial determination of probable cause
on this case.
Other forms of relief that are just and equitable under the premises are also prayed for.

PLEADINGS
In CIVIL CASES
Every pleading shall contain in a methodical and logical form, a plain,
concise, and direct statement of the ultimate facts on which the party pleading
relies for his claim or defense, as the case may be, omitting the statement of mere
evidentiary facts.74
The title of the action indicates the names of the parties. They shall all be
named in the original complaint or petition; but in subsequent pleadings, it shall be
sufficient if the name of the first party on each side be stated with an appropriate
indication when there are other parties.75
An unsigned pleading produces no legal effect. However, the court may, in its
discretion, allow such deficiency to be remedied if it shall appear that the same was
due to mere inadvertence and not intended for delay.
Please note that the following portion is indispensable to the filing of a
Complaint for the Collection of Sum of Money as it is required that every Complaint
state in the body as well as in the prayer the amount of damages sought. This is
jurisdictional and a complaint that fails to comply with this requirement is fatally
defective.
5. Defendants obligation is due and demandable and plaintiff is entitled to the payment
of the entire amount of Nine Hundred Thousand Pesos (P900,000.00) plus legal interest.
6. By reason of defendants unreasonable failure or refusal to pay his due and
demandable obligation, plaintiff was forced to engage the services of counsel to vindicate his
74
75
202
rights thereby committing himself to pay legal expenses amounting to Fifty Thousand Pesos
(P50,000.00).
WHEREFORE, plaintiff respectfully prays for judgment in his favor through a Decision
directing defendant to pay him NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND PESOS (P900,000.00), with
legal interest, as ACTUAL DAMAGES and FIFTY THOUSAND PESOS (P50,000.00) as
Attorneys Fees.
Form 26. Relevant Portion in a Complaint for Collection of Sum of Money
In CRIMINAL CASES
Criminal actions may be instituted in two ways by information or by
complaint. A complaint is a sworn written statement charging a person with an
offense, subscribed by the offended party, any peace officer, or other public officer
charged with the enforcement of the law violated. 76 Information, on the other hand,
is an accusation in writing charging a person with an offense, subscribed by the
prosecutor and filed with the court. 77
Because an affidavit must be based on personal knowledge of the affiant,
many times, legal answers cannot be included for fear that affiant does NOT have
personal knowledge. Stating that affiant was assisted by counsel may remove that
problem as all that affiant has to do is say I was advised by counsel that 78
Rule 112, sec. 3(a), 2000 Rules on Criminal Procedure. Note that this may be
done before a prosecutor, or any government official authorized to administer an
oath, or in their absence or unavailability, a Notary Public. 79

COMPLAINT
PLAINTIFF, through the undersigned counsel, unto this Honorable Court, respectfully
states:
1. Plaintiff is a Filipino, of legal age, married to SARAH JANE, and a resident of Camp 7,
Baguio City; while defendant is likewise a Filipino, of legal age, married to RACIEL GO and a
resident of Poliwes, Baguio City, where he may be served with summons and other court
processes;
2. Plaintiff is engaged in the trading of rice, sugar and other merchandise while
defendant is the owner of a rice mill and is also engaged in the wholesale of different varieties of
rice.
3. On June 20, 2008, plaintiff entered into an agreement with the defendant for the
purchase of one thousand (1,000) cavans of Sinandomeng rice at the rate of One Thousand Five
Hundred Pesos (P1,500.00) each.
208
4. Under the agreement, plaintiff shall pay a down payment equivalent to fifty percent
(50%) of the total purchase price and the balance to be paid when he picks up the merchandise
from defendants rice mill on July 30, 2008.
A copy of the agreement dated June 20, 2008 is hereto attached as Annex A and made
an integral part hereof.
5. Pursuant to their agreement, plaintiff paid to defendant the amount of Five Hundred
Thousand Pesos (P500, 000.00) representing the fifty percent (50%) down payment.
A copy of the receipt issued by the defendant is hereto attached as Annex B and made
an integral part hereof.
6. On July 30, 2008, plaintiff went to the defendants rice mill to pick up the one
thousand (1,000) cavans of Sinandomeng rice and to pay the balance of P500, 000.00.
7. Defendant, however, informed the plaintiff that he cannot deliver to the plaintiff the
entire one thousand (1,000) cavans of Sinandomeng rice and that all he has in his rice mill was
only one hundred (100) cavans. Defendant instead offered a different variety of rice but of lower
quality. Plaintiff refused and insisted on the refund of the P500, 000.000 down payments he
paid to the defendant.
8. Defendant, however, refused to return the amount paid by the plaintiff.
9. Plaintiff demanded for the return of the amount he paid to the defendant and for the
rescission of their earlier agreement but his demand fell and deaf ears. A copy of plaintiffs
demand letter is hereto attached as Annex C and made an integral part hereof.
10. Defendant is evidently guilty of bad faith in refusing to return the amount paid by
the plaintiff without even giving any valid or justifiable reason, which caused the latter mental
anguish, serious anxiety, moral shock and other similar injury, for which the defendant should
be held liable to pay P150, 000.00 as moral damages.
11. By way of example or correction for the public good, and to deter other like-minded
individuals from trampling upon the rights of others, defendant should likewise be held liable to
pay P150, 000.00 as nominal damages.
12. As a result of defendants wanton refusal to re urn the amount paid by the plaintiff
and to rescind their earlier agreement, plaintiff was compelled to litigate and for the purpose,
have to engage the services of the undersigned law firm for a fee of P100, 000.00.
13. Defendant should likewise be held liable for interest at the legal rate, litigation
expenses and costs of suit.
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is respectfully prayed that judgment be
rendered in favor of the plaintiff and against the defendant, as follows:
1. Ordering the rescission of the agreement dated June 20, 2008;
2. Ordering the return of the amount of P500, 000.00 to the plaintiff, plus interest
thereon at the legal date from date until full payment thereof;

v.
COMPLAINT
WITH UTMOST DEFERENCE TO THE HONORABLE COURT.
Complainants, by and through the undersigned counsel, to this Honorable Court, states
that:
1.
Petitioner is of legal age, Filipino citizen, and with residence and postal address at
Km. 21, Caliking, Atok, Benguet;
216
2.
Respondent Frederick Tao-ing is of legal age, Filipino citizen, single and with
residence and postal address at FC 121 Balili, La Trinidad, Benguet where he may be served with
summons and other processes of the Honorable Court;
3.
Respondent Larry Teliagen represented by his father Lope Teliagen is likewise of
legal age, single, Filipino citizens and with residence at km. 21, Caliking, Atok, Benguet where he,
through his representative, may be served with summons and other processes of the Honorable
Court;
4.
Respondent Office of the Municipal Assessor of Atok, Benguet is herein represented
by Mr. Edgar Quilop, who is being sued in his official capacity and who can be served with
summons and other processes of this Honorable Court at their office at the Municipal Hall of Atok,
Benguet;
5.
Petitioner is the true and declared owner of that property located at Atok,
Benguet consisting of 5,000 sq. m. under Tax Declaration No. 9297. A copy of the said Tax
Declaration is hereto attached and marked as Annex A hereof;
6.
Since the 90s petitioner has been making improvements thereon, such as the
widening and leveling of certain portions thereof especially those adjacent to or along the
Halsema National Highway, as that portion leased to Mr. Jonathan Pasigon;
7.
Incidentally, on January 10, 2011, as petitioner was then in dire need of cash, he
loaned an amount of P 10,000.00 with an exorbitant monthly interest of 10%, from Mr. Gabriel
Malaggay, who introduced himself as an officer and representative of a certain Association
engaged in Lending business, which is based in Baguio City. Hence a Real Estate Mortgage
covering the said property was executed in his favor, accordingly in behalf of the alleged
Association. A copy of the said document is hereto attached as Annex B hereof;
8.
Petitioner Costina had been making partial payments on the loan but by reason of
the exorbitant interest, he was not able to fully settle the same;
9.
On March 28, 2011, as petitioner Costina still had a balance on the loan
amounting to P44, 000.00 including the alleged accumulated interests, Gabriel Malaggay
pressured and convinced him to execute a new Real Estate Mortgage for the balance of his loan
with a monthly interest of 10%, accordingly in order for their Association to grant him another
extension of one (1) year or until March 28, 2006 within which to pay the same. A copy of the
said Real Estate Mortgage is hereto attached as Annex C hereof;
10.
Unfortunately, due to the exorbitant interest applied to his loan, petitioner was
not able to fully settle the same on due date. Nevertheless, Mr. Malaggay did not foreclose the
mortgaged property but instead, gave defendant Costina another extension of ONE YEAR within
which to pay, upon the latters conformity to an ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND UNDERTAKING
prepared by Mr. Malaggay himself, which according to him shall ONLY secure the loan;
11.
Ironically, even if it appears in the said Acknowledgment and Undertaking that
petitioner Costina sold a portion of the subject property to Mr. Malaggay, the formers right to
REDEEM the same is clear. Hence, in conferring him such right, he himself recognized that the
purported sale was not an absolute conveyance but a mere security for the loan. Besides, a
careful scrutiny of the terms thereof would reveal that there was NO CONSIDERATION for the
purported sale, hence there really was nothing to buy back. A copy of the said document is
217
218
when they conducted the alleged survey without any participation by petitioner Costina as the
owner;
21.
When petitioner Costina discovered the same, they went to the Office of the
Assessor in Atok, Benguet to verify the matter;
22.
Defendants thereafter demanded Mr. Tao-ing to have his illegally obtained Tax
Declaration be cancelled and/or nullified but he refused to heed such demand;
23.
In an effort to protect his business which was then flourishing and avoid the
matter to complicate, Jonathan Pasigon offered to get back the property for a price if only to end
the controversy;
24.
Regrettably, while petitioner was negotiating for the price of the property,
respondent quickly and WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE AND CONSENT OF petitioner Costina,
sold the same to herein respondent Teliagen;
25.
Respondent Teliagen is petitioners immediate neighbor and business
competitor. As such, he was fully aware of the existing dispute over the said property. Despite
such knowledge, he bought the said portion from Mr. Tao-ing as he was then interested in the
portion being occupied by Mr. Pasigon, where the latter has been conducting business and
which Mr. Tao-ing included within the boundaries of the area he caused to be surveyed;
26.
Immediately upon discovering such fact, petitioners requested for a Barangay
Conciliation. Unfortunately, it was Mr. Tao-ing and Respondent Teliagen who failed to arrive at
the scheduled meeting;
27.
In an effort to hold in abeyance the issuance of a Tax Declaration in favor of
Respondent Teliagen, petitioner wrote several letters to the Office of the Municipal Assessor.
The same shall be presented in the course of the trial;
28.
In desperation, petitioner gave his conformity to an Agreement whereby
petitioner agreed to transfer a portion to respondents Teliagen subject to the conduct of a
relocation in accordance to what he pointed to be the boundaries and excluding the property
being occupied by Mr. John Costina which he would have never intended to sell, it having been
improved by them and is being occupied by them and is in fact earning good income for both of
them;
29.
With such agreement, petitioner decided not to cause the annulment of the Tax
Declaration in the names of Tao-ing, the Deed of Sale and Tax Declaration in the name of
Teliagen;
30.
Unfortunately, respondents without conducting the agreed relocation,
immediately caused the transfer or issuance of a Tax Declaration in the name of respondent
Teliagen following thus the boundaries set in the Survey which was conducted in the absence of
Mr. Costina;
31.
Unexpectedly, petitioner Costina received summons from the Punong Barangay
for the conciliation of a complaint for alleged trespass to property filed by Respondent against

heirs of the true owner thereof;

1. Petitioner and respondent are husband and wife, who were married on May 10, 2000
at the Baguio Cathedral, Baguio City.
2. After three (3) years of marriage, petitioner begot 2 children from his respondent

4. Petitioner frequently would leave the conjugal home for days, and she found out later
224
that he was living with another woman in another place, and he stopped giving support to

other things, the date and place of wedding, the gown to be used , the wedding sponsors and all
other matters regarding their preset church wedding. Dyesebels only participation was when
she was called to attend that unfortunate and unforgettable day of her life;
15.
The semi-dramatic but tragic story for Dyesebel did not end there however. Even
when the church ceremony was on going, Dyesebel was arguing with Dingdong and was in fact
thinking of running away from the church were it not for the presence of her parents whom she
dearly wanted to save from shame had she done what she had in mind that time;
16.
The church wedding ended as if everything was alright or without anyone
noticing the real story behind the scene;
17
Right after the church wedding, Dyesebel and Dingdong went home to their
respective parents and never lived together thereafter. In fact, from that time on, Batman never
communicated nor exerted any effort to see or be with Dyesebel;
18. Dyesebel and Dingdong had no children, neither did they acquire any property as
they never actually lived together after their wedding;
19. Dyesebel, the Petitioner seeks the intervention of the Honorable Court that after
hearing, the marriage she contracted with Dingdong, the respondent, on May 18, 1999 be
declared null and void;
20. Respondent have completely neglected and miserably failed and continues to fail and
neglect to comply with his basic but essential marital obligations as follows:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.
g.
h.
21.
These circumstances, among others as will be shown in the course of the
proceedings, disclose respondents grave and downright incapacity or inability to assume the
essential obligations of marriage as can be medically and clinically shown later;
22.
Such psychological incapacity of respondent to assume his marital and parental
obligations is medically and clinically permanent or incurable in regard to the petitioner;
228
23.
Further, such psychological incapacity of the respondent to assume his marital
and parental obligations is characterized by GRAVITY, JURIDICAL ANTECEDENCE, AND
INCURABILITY;
24.
Respondents absolute, grave and downright incapacity to carry out his marital
and parental duties constitute psychological incapacity which already existed prior to or at the
time of the celebration of their marriage and even became worst and more manifest thereafter
as he failed and neglected to face the realities and pressures of marital life;
25.
This controversy is not a valid subject of compromise under Article 151 of the
Family Code, hence, the same was not referred to the Lupong Tagapamayapa pursuant to the
provisions of the Local Government Code;
26.
Finally, may it be known that on December 6, 2010, petitioner filed a similar
action with the Regional Trial Court, Branch 9, La Trinidad, Benguet but the same was
dismissed WITHOUT prejudice to its re-filing as shown by an Order which is hereto attached as
ANNEX B of this petition.
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED , it is prayed that after due notice and
hearing, judgment be rendered:
a.
Declaring the marriage of petitioner and respondent null and void, setting them
free from the effects of marital bond ; and
b.
Furnishing all government offices such as the Local Civil registrar of Tabuk,
Kalinga, and the National Statistics Office a copy of the decision of the Honorable
Court for their information and guidance.
Petitioner prays for such other reliefs and remedies just and equitable in the premises.

AFFIDAVIT
COMPLAINT
I, ZSAZSA PADILLA, of legal age, married, Filipino Citizen, and with residence and
postal address at Amistad Road, Camp 7, Baguio City, after having been sworn to in accordance
with law, hereby depose and state:
1.
I am formally filing a criminal case for ESTAFA against Mrs. REGINAL CASID,
with address at B10 L11 Narra Street, Sampaguita Homes, Barangay Sampaguita,
4217 Lipa City, the crime having been committed as follows;
2.
3.
Sometime in the first week of June, 2012, the goods or ukay-ukay which I was
about to purchase from my supplier from Manila were confiscated by several
persons who introduced themselves as Agents of the Bureau of Customs, San
Fernando City and Agents of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group
Cordillera Administrative Region, Baguio City, respectively. Accordingly, the said
goods were mistakenly believed to be among those smuggled items from abroad;
4.
Several days after the confiscation of the said goods, one of my friends Mrs.
REGINAL CASID, who is actually the broker in my aforesaid business, came to
know about the incident through her kumare Mrs. REMEDIOS ESTEBAN
who is also my close friend. Hence, the former contacted me through her cellphone
and offered her services to cause the release of the aforesaid goods. She told me that
she has the means, capacity and influence to process and facilitate the release of the
above-mentioned goods;
234
5.
6.
Casid promised and assured me that everything will be done and accomplished
properly, and that the goods will be released within a one (1) week period. In this
regard, she convinced me to give her the total amount of SIX HUNDRED
THOUSAND (P600,000.00) PESOS, Philippine Currency With her
misrepresentations, promises and assurances, I indeed agreed and was actually
convinced to give the abovementioned amount that she asked of me. She further
told me to deposit the aforesaid amount in her METROBANK Lipa Branch
Savings Account bearing No. 3145337581;
That considering that I dont have that much available finances at that time, I asked
her if I could make an advance deposit of P400,000.00 and that the balance in
the amount of P200,000.00 shall be deposited soon as I could borrow money
from my relatives, to which arrangement she readily agreed;
7.
That sometime on the second week of June 2012, I deposited the said amount at the
METROPOLITAN BANK & TRUST COMPANY- Baguio Cario Branch in the
respondents above-mentioned account. Attached herewith is a copy of the deposit
slip and marked as ANNEX B hereof;
8.
A few days later, she contacted me and told me to deposit the balance of abovementioned amount agreed upon, since accordingly, the confiscated goods were at
that time ready for release. Trusting her words, I deposited in the morning of June
16, 2012, the amount of P200,000.00 in her Savings Account as aforementioned
at the METROPOLITAN BANK & TRUST COMPANY- Baguio Cario Branch, a
copy of the deposit slip of which is hereto attached and marked as ANNEX C
hereof;
9.
Despite her promises and assurances that she had the means, capacity, and
influence to process and facilitate the release of the goods within one(1)-week,
respondent Casid failed to do so without giving any specific reason;
10.
Likewise, despite the lapse of another week and/or months extension requested by
the respondent to cause the release of the confiscated items, she still failed to do the
same up to the present. All that she has to offer as an explanation is that the papers
for the release of the said goods are still on process;
11.
Up to now however, despite several verbal and written demands for the immediate
release of the goods or for the reimbursement of my money, are the broken
promises of the respondent who obviously made misrepresentations only to deceive
me into giving her my hard-earned money. Hereto attached is a copy of the said
demand letter and marked as ANNEX D hereof;
12.
That I am executing this affidavit to attest to the truthfulness of all the foregoing and
for all legal intents and purposes it may well serve.

working visa, Philippine passport and among others, which are to be processed in
Korea for P15,000.
5.
The accused even offered me to pay nothing if I would agree for a sexual
pleasure, which I declined.
6. After paying, the accused told me that the schedule of their flight was already
been booked, but was not actually true, months passed but even my passport nor
visa wasnt given by the accused.
7. This prompted me to validate and inquire from the Bureau of Immigrations if the
Korean has permit to recruit, but the Bureau of Immigrations referred them to
Philippine Overseas Employment Agency (POEA).
8. Upon inquiry at POEA, I found out that the Korean national was not licensed nor
authorized to recruit.

1. I am executing this AFFIDAVIT to support my complaint for SERIOUS

namely:
1a. JUAN ROBLES, likewise of legal age, Filipino citizen, and with address at FA 226,

1b. JOHN ROBLES, likewise of legal age, Filipino citizen, and with address at FA 226,
km. 4, La Trinidad, Benguet;
2. On the night of November 2, 2012 at about 11:00 pm, I just got out from a jeep just in
front of the Pure Gold Mall, located at Km. 4 La Trinidad, Benguet. Im a medical
transcriptionist and I was just going home after my 3-11 shift. As I alighted from the jeep, I
noticed that there are two men on the opposite side of the road.;
3. The two men seem two men were shouting and cursing and they appear to be drunk. I
heard one of them say, Oho, agin lalaing da. Agin lalaing da amin!.I paid no attention to them.
I just walked a few meters from where I alighted from the jeep until I was just fronting the
Marosans Restaurant and Bakery from the opposite side of the road;
4. One of the men suddenly shouted, Apay nga sumursurot ka ken kumita kita ka?
Apay amamo mi sika? Amamo dak ba? I still paid no attention to them. I was hoping that they
would simply pass by and no longer mind me or pay any attention to me;
5.
The other one then replied, Oho, mayka ditoy! Mayka ditoy! At this point, I
started to be wary but I still paid no attention to them. I then heard one of the men say to the
other, Data ngarud mapan dita. Ni bakla met gayam! Wen ah. replied the other. The men
then rushed from the opposite side of the street and came running towards me;
6.
At first, though I was shocked and taken aback by the turn of events, I tried
reasoning out though I started walking backwards quickly. I said to them, Ni apay manong,
anya inaramid ko. They simply answered, Mayka kitdi ditoy!;
241
7.
I then ran going inside the bridge located at Pines Park, Balili La Trinidad, Benguet
hoping to reach the Police Station at the other end of the bridge. However, I was overtaken, and
I simply felt a huge blow and thud at my back. Though I was hurt, I continued running towards
the Police Station. I suddenly felt someone grab both my arms and place them behind my back. I
resisted and tried defending myself but I was overpowered. One man suddenly grabbed my neck
from behind and choked me. The other man came in front of me and punched me on my
abdomen. That man continued punching me on my face and abdomen. I was badly beaten and
assaulted. The spot where I was beaten was well lighted by a street light. I tried pleading for the
men to stop but I could not as I was getting choked and I could not utter any word. Luckily, a
group of Barangay Tanods was passing by, they approached and to try and pacify the two men.
The men suddenly fled;
8.
I was brought to the Emergency Room of Benguet General Hospital where I was
initially treated. Later I was transferred to the Surgical Ward where I was confined for 8 days. A
copy of my medico legal and other medical records are attached as Annex A hereof.
Photographs of my scars, bruises, and other injuries sustained taken immediately just after the
assaulting incident while I was at the ER are also attached as Annexes B, C, D, E, F,
G, and H, respectively.;
9.
During my hospitalization, a police man later came to take my statements. The
tanods reported the incident right after they brought me to the hospital. Police blotter and
investigation reports were subsequently made. Copies of the Investigation Report and the Police
blotter are attached as Annexes I and J respectively.;
10.
Just recently, a similar incident was reported to the police. This time, the
suspects were caught by the Tanods and brought to the police. As mug shots of the suspects were
shown to me, I readily recognized them as the same persons who assaulted me on that unlucky
night.;
11.
As a result of my injuries, I incurred some deformities on my face and my body
and I was unable to attend the work in which I am habitually engaged for a period of more than
ninety days. This will be shown by my earlier mentioned medico legal and medical records. My
employer also issued a certification based on our Daily Time Record that I was unable to attend
work for a period of more than 3 months. A copy of the Certification is attached as Annex K.;
12.
I am executing this affidavit to attest to the truthfulness of the foregoing
statements and for all legal intents and purposes it may well serve including the filing of
Serious Physical Injuries and other appropriate charges against Masun Urin and

address at BD-038 Samoyao, Alapang, La Trinidad, Benguet, after having been sworn to in
accordance with law, hereby depose and state that:
1. Sometime on February 2013, while I was at the National University of Baguio, as I am an
instructor in the said University, I received a text message from Ms. Sal Arin requesting
me to have a talk with her to discuss matters pertaining to our residential lot;
2. Since we are neighbors at Samoyao, Alapang, La Trinidad, Benguet, I agreed to meet her
at Samoyao Day Care Center;
3. During such meeting, she claimed that my father has made encroachments, the reason
why the area of our residential lot has increased compared to that which was originally
sold to him. She likewise claimed that my father forged the Deed of Sale transferring the
property from his father, Martin Arin, to my father;
4. I then clarified to her that the area which we are now actually occupying was properly
surveyed and the same is reflected in the Tax Declaration and Title covering the said
property;
5. She unfortunately insisted that we pay the corresponding value of the alleged increase in
the area;
6. As we failed to reach an agreement, we finally parted ways, but before we did so, she
warned me that we better make up our mind and settle the matter with her as she has
started paying a lawyer already;
7. I immediately went home after that and related what transpired to my mother. She then
confirmed to me that the area of our residential lot correctly reflects the area actually
sold by the previous owner to my father;
8. At that, I texted Ms. Arin and advised her to show any papers/documents to support her
claim that my father made encroachments and even forged certain documents;
9. Unexpectedly, Ms. Arin replied in this manner and in the vernacular: AY KASJAY,

It was about 3:00 am already of the following day, October 20, 2012 when our
group decided to call it a night and go our separate ways. Though some of my friends offered to
accompany me and walk me home, I insisted that I go home on my own;
5.
As I am the only one from our group that goes home to La Trinidad, I was the
first to ride a taxi. We then flagged down a taxi, and asked the driver if he wishes to drive until
Km. 3 La Trinidad, Benguet. To this the driver agreed. I still remember the facial features of this
driver. He has short curly hair with a dark complexion, with a distinctive mole at the left side of
his nose and a scar running across the right side of his forehead until his right ear;
6.
Before the taxi driver drove off, the Security Guard on duty for Albertos at that
time listed down its Plate Number. The taxi was identified as a white, 2009 Inova with Plate No.
ABC-123;
7.
I instructed to the driver where my destination is. I specifically told the driver to
drop me off at the Hanging Bridge located at Km. 3 La Trinidad, Benguet near the Km. 3 City
Limit Store.;
8.
Although I was initially well aware of my bearings, I felt that my consciousness
gradually faded as the taxi drove on. Despite my best efforts to rouse myself, my lights went out.
I then went to sleep without remembering anything except that I was still inside the taxi;
9.
I vividly recall that when I woke up, I felt nauseated and I was breathing heavily. I
suddenly realized that someone was on top of me and I felt that I was no longer wearing my
pants and my underwear. I also felt some push and pull motion.;
10.
Gathering all the courage that I could muster, I shouted at the top of my voice
and pushed away the person on top of me. I recognized then and there that he was the taxi
driver of the taxi where I rode earlier;
11.
The man seemed startled and surprised. He was taken aback and quickly pulled
up his underwear and his pants as he did not remove them but simply let them hang up to his
248
249
at Hollywood Inn;
21.
Jose Roldan accompanied us to John Andres residence at No. 123 Quirino Hill,
Baguio City. We were able to get police assistance at that time but to our dismay, John Andres is
no longer at his residence. We learned that he has not returned since he last went out to drive
the taxi. It was also at this point that Richie Reyes and Jose Roldan suddenly remembered that
the taxi was still not brought into Richie Reyes garage. The taxi was later found still parked at
Hollywood Inn. We also discovered that indeed, John Andres checked in into Hollywood Inn at
about 6:00 am of October 20, 2012. A copy of the Hollywood Inns logbook and with an affidavit
of the Hollywood Inns secretary/receptionist and the security guard are attached as Annexes
I, J, and K respectively hereof;
22.
I am therefore executing this affidavit for the purpose of filing a criminal
complaint for RAPE against Mr. John Andres and to attest to the truth of all the foregoing and
for any legal intents and purposes it may serve.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 19 th day of April 2013 at
Baguio City , Philippines.

For: Writ of Habeas Corpus
PETITION
WITH UTMOST DEFERENCE TO THE HONORABLE COURT.
Petitioner , by and through the undersigned counsel, states that:
1.
Petitioner, the biological mother of MARK DOMEG, is of legal age, married,
Filipino citizen, with residence and postal address at No 18A-7 Lopez Jaena, Aurora Hill, Baguio
City;
2.
Respondents P/SINSP MARCOS C. EBLAHAN, JR and SPOIII
MARQUEZ K. MADLON are the Regional Chief and member, respectively, of the 14 th
Regional Narcotics Office, Philippine National Police Narcotics Group, Baguio City, both of legal
age, Filipino citizens and with office and postal address at DPS Compound, Baguio City where
they may be served with summons and other processes of the Honorable Court;
3.
On June 16, 2012 at about 7:00 oclock in the evening, MARK DUMEG was
picked up without any apparent reason by respondent SPOIII MARQUEZ K. MADLON and two
(2) other unidentified male persons while the former was on his way to buy milk for his kid at
Manuel Roxas Street, Baguio City;
4.
At around 7:30 in the evening that same day, June 16, 2012, petitioner received a
call from the cellular phone of her son MARK DUMEG, asking her to go to the NARCOTICS
OFFICE immediately and there he will explain everything;
5.
Without wasting anytime, petitioner proceeded to the Office of the respondents
and arrived at exactly 8:00 oclock that evening;
6.
Upon petitioners arrival, she saw her son Mark and respondent MADLON
standing at the veranda of a house opposite the 14 th Regional Narcotics Office;
7.
Petitioner then heard her son Mark inform MADLON that she is her mother.
Thereafter, MADLON and Mark went out of the house and as they approached the petitioner,
MADLON told them that they should talk inside one of the parked passenger jeepneys nearby.
Petitioner, her son Mark and MADLON then entered a parked PNR Passenger Jeepney where
the petitioner asked respondent MADLON why they have to talk inside the said jeepney when
they have an office, to which the respondent answered that he will take care of his companions;
8.
Likewise, while inside the parked passenger jeepney, respondent MADLON
informed the petitioner that they conducted a buy-bust operation and Mark was caught in
possession of the marked money. Respondent MADLON then asked for FIFTY THOUSAND
(PhP 50,000.00) PESOS as settlement of the case. Confused and wondering, petitioner then
264
asked that she be allowed to talk to her son who informed her, among others, that when he was
unlawfully arrested, MADLON and his two (2) companions were forcing him to get and hold the
marked money as they were in fact forcibly having his hand hold the same causing it to be
dropped on the ground. Petitioner was further informed by her son that it was MADLON who
actually picked up the marked money before MARK was brought to the NARCOTICS Office;
9.
As petitioner and her son were talking, MADLON kept on walking back and forth
near the parked jeepney then entered the same few minutes after. As the respondent re-entered
the jeepney, he told the petitioner and her son that he is giving them until 12:00 oclock
midnight of that same day to produce the PhP 50,000.00. When petitioner told the respondent
that they do not have any cash but they have in their house a computer set, the latter insisted
that they should at least produce cash. Respondent then left and went somewhere and when he
returned he told the petitioner and her son that his companions did not agree to their proposal
and that they wanted cash;
10.
At around 8:30 in the evening, petitioner, her son and MADLON went out of the
Jeepney and while walking towards the house where Mark and MADLON came from earlier,
MADLON took the money of Mark and said that they will use it to buy for their dinner;
11.
Petitioner then left her son in the company of MADLON but before actually
leaving the place, petitioner saw MADLON brought her son to the same house where they came
from earlier that evening;
12.
When petitioner could not borrow the amount being demanded by the
respondent MADLON, she went to see Marks wife who took a jacket for the latter before they
went to the Narcotics Office. At the Narcotics Office, Marks wife talked to MADLON while
petitioner talked to her son. Moments after, MADLON brought Mark to their Office as he told
the petitioner and Marks wife to leave;
13.
On their way home, petitioner received several text messages from the cellular
phone of her son Mark asking her, among others, to remedy P20,000.00 apart from the
computer;
14.
About 11:55 oclock that same evening, petitioner went back to the Narcotics
Office and told MADLON that they do not have cash. She then asked MADLON to show the
alleged item seized from her son Mark but MADLON simply said that they will see it in court.
When the petitioner told the respondent MADLON to better bring her son to the City Jail, the
latter did not mind her as he talked to his companions;
15.
At about 1:00 oclock in the early morning of June 17, 2012, when MADLON was
obviously getting mad at the petitioner, the latter left the Narcotics Office and went home;
16.
At about 4:00 oclock in the morning, petitioner tried to call the cellular phone of
her son mark but no one was answering;
17.
At about 9:00 oclock, while at the Justice Hall purposely to attend to a hearing
265
of her son Marks case pending at the Regional Trial Court, Branch 61, Baguio City, petitioner
called up her sons phone but it was MADLON who answered. and arrogantly told her that Mark
allegedly went home;
18.
Petitioner waited for a while inside the Court Room of RTC 61 but Marks case
was reset since he was not around for the arraignment;
19.
About 3:30 in the afternoon of June 17, 2012, petitioner went to the Narcotics
Office but her son and MADLON together with his companion were no longer there. When she
asked where her son is, petitioner was just informed by those from whom she asked that they do
not even know who was on duty the night before that day of June 17, 2012;
20.
On June 19, 2002, petitioner went back to the Narcotics Office but she was told
that they are not aware of any reported operation or arrest on June 16, 2012 as there is no record
of such in their Office;
21.
On June 20, 2012, petitioner went to the Narcotics Office and met for the first
time P/SINSP MARCOS EBLAHAN, the Regional Chief of the 14 th Regional Narcotics Office,
whose name was earlier used by MADLON as his own name when he introduced himself to the
petitioner;
22.
Petitioner has been going back to the Narcotics Office up to June 25, 2012 but all
that she was told is that they have no record that her son Mark was arrested by any of their
Office members;
23.
To petitioners personal knowledge, no case has yet been filed against Mark
Dumeg anent his unlawful arrest on June 16, 2012;
24.
Pursuant to Section 1, Rule 102 of the Revised Rules of Court, any person who is
deprived of his liberty shall be entitled to avail of the Writ of Habeas Corpus.
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED , petitioner respectfully prays that a Writ
of Habeas Corpus issue, directed to P/SINSP MARCOS C. EBLAHAN JR, Regional Chief of
the 14th Regional Narcotics Office, Philippine National Police Narcotics Group, commanding
him or any of his policemen like SPOIII MARQUEZ MADLON and any of their agents or
representatives, to produce the body of MARK SALVADOR DUMEG immediately before this
Honorable Court, to show cause for the detention, and after hearing, set the person of MARK
SALVADOR DUMEG at liberty.
Petitioner prays for such other reliefs and remedies just and equitable in the premises.

PETITION
WITH UTMOST DEFERENCE TO THE HONORABLE COURT.
Petitioner, by and through the undersigned counsels, states that:
1. He is of legal age, married, Filipino citizen, with permanent residence and postal
address at No. 11 Lake Drive Avenue, Makati City where he may be served with summons and
other processes of the Honorable Court.;
2. The minor, JADE ALCANTARA is the petitioners illegitimate daughter with Ruby
269
Rose Josefa Alcantara. The minor was born sometime on August 2004, at Benguet General
Hospital. The minor, Jade Alcantara now currently resides at JF 47 Toyong, Pico La Trinidad,
Benguet with her maternal grandmother where she may be served with summons and other
processes of the Honorable Court. A copy of Jade Alcantaras Certificate of Live Birth is hereto
attached as Annex A and made an integral part of this petition.;
3. Petitioner and his former live-in partner, Ruby Rose Josefa Alcantara did not have the
best of relationships. Though they have long been living together from 1997 until 2004, their
relationship eventually ended shortly after the birth of their daughter, Jade Alcantara. In fact,
when Ruby Rose was being asked at the hospital who the childs father is, she wouldnt even
want to answer. She even proudly and loudly declared at the hospital that the child has no father
much to the dismay of herein petitioner. If it hadnt been for the insistence of herein petitioner,
Ruby Rose would never have let petitioners name be put as an entry as the Father of Jade
Alcantara in her Birth Certificate.;
4. Due to the animosity that sprang at that time, Ruby Rose Josefa Alcantara took
custody of their daughter and eventually cut all forms of communication with herein petitioner.
Ruby Rose made it very clear that she never wanted the petitioners aid in rearing the child. As if
her previous actions were not enough, Ruby Rose eventually made the worst course of actions
possible. Sometime in February, 2005, Ruby Rose left their residence at La Trinidad, Benguet
carting away with her, Jade Alcantara. Ruby Rose Josefa Alcantara even stopped communicating
with her family and friends so as not to be traced by the petitioner. Ruby Rose Alcantara, along
with their daughter were never seen nor heard of since then.;
5. During this time, petitioner exerted his best efforts to trace and locate both Ruby Rose
and their daughter. His efforts were futile however. It is as if Ruby Rose and Jade suddenly
vanished into thin air.;
6. Petitioner eventually married Graciela Brightman with whom he now has two (2)
children, namely Joy Brightman and Randy Brightman. However, since the moment that Jade
Alcantara was taken by Ruby Rose, not a day passed by without the petitioner wondering deep in
his heart and mind how his daughter was faring.;
7. For that reason, the petitioner was overjoyed when she received a letter from Jade
Alcantaras maternal grandmother informing him that Jade Alcantara and Ruby Rose returned
at their residence at La Trinidad, Benguet sometime in May 2012. The letter was received by the
petitioner sometime only in July, 2012 as it was addressed at his old offices address, and it took
quite some time for the Postal Services Office to locate his new address. No words could ever
describe the petitioners joy upon seeing her daughters pictures that came along with the letter.
The letter also revealed that Jade Alcantara was about to enroll as a grade one pupil at Little
270
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED , it is prayed that after due notice,
publication, and hearing, judgment be rendered:
a. Approving the Voluntary Recognition of herein minor, Jade Alcantara as a natural
child of herein petitioner, Roger Brightman; and
b. Furnishing all government offices such as the Local Civil registrar of La Trinidad,
Benguet, and the National Statistics Office a copy of the decision of the Honorable
Court for their information and guidance.
Petitioner prays for such other reliefs and remedies just and equitable in the premises.

3. Paragraph 6 is denied insofar as the allegation that the owner of the entire lot subject
in the case is Juan Dela Cruz alone;
4. Furthermore, the 300 square meters of the subject lot is sold to the intervenor on
January 12, 2003; as a result of which a Tax Declaration is awarded to the intervenor;
5. That by virtue of such sale, there was an absolute transfer of ownership from the
Respondent to the Intervenor; hence, the claim of the Plaintiff on the entire 1000 sq.
m., including the 300 sq. m. lot sold to the Intervenor, of the subject lot, is not
tenable;
6. Besides, the Plaintiff herein claims her right to the land by virtue of tenancy for a

subject property is denied for being erroneous.
