COMPLAINT – AFFIDAVIT

I, PIA WURTZBACK - STOCKINGER, married, of legal age, Filipino, with

residence at Purok 1, Block 2, Lot 3, Southville 4, Muntinlupa City, after having been
duly sworn in accordance with law, hereby depose and state: THAT

Immaculate Conception, Intramuros, Manila;

aged 13, Janine Mari aged12, Ariella Siyam aged 9, and Maxine aged 7;

4. The first few years of being married was harmonious but were beset by
frequent quarrels emanating from Marlon’s attempts to prevent me from
seeking employment;

5. That one night on February of 2010, in which the exact date I cannot
remember, Marlon went home seemingly mad about something and took it out
on me by punching me on the face which resulted to the loss of 5 of my front
teeth;

6. That he would thereafter continue to physically abuse me over the course of

our marriage by punching me on different parts of my body and even inflicting
iron burns upon me on several occasions;

7. That whenever we would have sexual intercourse, Marlon would turn violent -
which included physically manhandling me and spitting on my face while
blurting out the words, “putang ina mo!” and other demeaning and shaming
words which made me feel worthless as a woman and as a person;

1
 8. That all of these verbal and physical abuses of Marlon against me have
caused an extreme psychological distress and emotional anguish on my part.

9. That ever since Marlon left on May of 2016 to work in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,
he never gave financial support for the family even for our 5 minor children;

10. That since we depend on Marlon for support given that I am unemployed, his
inability to provide for financial assistance have caused us, his family, extreme
destitution even to the point of living off the trash of fast food restaurants and
our neighbor’s generosity just to survive;

education;
