MARSHA SANTIAGO,
Defendant,

COMES now defendant, by counsel and to this Honorable Court, respectfully alleges:

In plaintiff’s complaint, he called defendant a theft, a criminal and without honor, the pertinent portions
of which complaint reading as follows:

Plaintiff and defendant are co-workers, on December 8, 2017, the latter without authority took the former’s
laptop. When the plaintiff confronted the defendant, to the plaintiff’s surprise, the defendant “shouted “you are
poor, you cannot afford to buy anything and I can buy your life” and slapped his face,” because of anger, the
plaintiff called defendant a theft, criminal and without honor.

Said quoted portions of the complaint are false, sham and impertinent and come within the provisions of
Sec. 12, Rule 8 of the Rules of Court, which justify their being stricken out of the complaint.

By signing said complaint, counsel for plaintiff violated Rule 11. 03 of the Code of Professional
Responsibility, which states that “A lawyer shall abstain from any scandalous, offensive, or menacing language
or behavior before the court.”

Defendant has not filed his answer to the complaint, the period to file the same not having lapsed.

WHEREFORE, defendant prays that the portion of the complaint above-qouted be stricken therefrom, and
that counsel for plaintiff be dealt with accordingly.

Notice of hearing

Atty. Jay Dizon


Counsel for plaintiff,

Please be informed that counsel for defendant has set the motion to strike out sham portions of the

Zamboanga City
Regional Trial Court
Branch 4

JOHN CRUZ,
Plaintiff,
-versus- Civil Case No. 1551

MARSHA SANTIAGO,
Defendant,
x----------------------x

PRE-TRIAL BRIEF

PLAINTIFF, by counsel and to this Honorable Court, respectfully submits this pre-trial brief in
compliance with the trial court’s order dated January 25, 2018, containing the following:

1. Plaintiff is willing to enter into an amicable settlement of the case, under terms and conditions which are
agreeable to both parties. Plaintiff is willing to submit the technical issues for resolution by technical
experts;
2. Plaintiff admits the following facts:

Plaintiff John Cruz is of legal age, married and with residence of Santa Maria, Zamboanga City,
while defendant Marsha Santiago is also of legal age, married, and with residence of Pasonanca,
Zamboanga City, where he may be served with summons and other legal processes. On march 23, 2016,
defendant borrowed One Million Pesos (P1,000,000) from plaintiff, with interest thereon at 12% per
annum, payable on or before March 23, 2017, as evidenced by a promissory note, which he executed and
which provides:

P1,000,000.00 March 23, 2016


“For value received, I hereby promise to pay John Cruz at his residence at Santa Maria, Zamboanga
City, the sum of One Million Pesos (P1,000,000) with interest thereon at 12% per annum from March 23,
2016 payable on or before March 23, 2017. In the event I fail to pay said amount including its stipulated
interests, I agree to pay him, as attorney’s fees and expenses of litigation, the sum of Two Hundred
Thousand Pesos (P200,000).

(Signed) Marsha Santiago


Borrower

True copy of said promissory note is attached hereto and made an integral part hereof as Annex “A.” The
due date, March 23, 2017, of said promissory note (Annex “A”) arrived, and yet defendant failed to pay
the said amount of P1,000,000.00 in breach thereof. Notwithstanding demands, both verbal and written,
made upon defendant, the latter failed and refused and continues to refuse to pay his lawful obligation. As
a result of defendant’s breach of obligation to pay his indebtedness, as well as the stipulated interests
thereon, plaintiff was constrained to secure the services of counsel to protect his interest and to file the
complaint and to incur attorney’s fees and expenses of litigation, the amount of P200,000.00, which should
be assessed against defendant.

3. Plaintiff intends to present the following documents, in connection with which plaintiff requests from
defendant their admission of their due execution and due authenticity.
4. Plaintiff manifests his intention to resort to discovery procedures.
5. Plaintiff does not intend to amend his complaint.
6. Plaintiff requests of defendant to stipulate or admit the following:

On march 23, 2016, defendant borrowed One Million Pesos (P1,000,000) from plaintiff, with
interest thereon at 12% per annum, payable on or before March 23, 2017, as evidenced by a promissory
note.

WHEREFORE, plaintiff prays that the foregoing be taken cognizance of.

COMPLAINT-AFFIDAVIT

I, MARSHA SANTIAGO, Filipino, of legal age, and with residence at Barangay Santa Maria, Zamboanga
City, after having been duly sworn in accordance with law, hereby depose and state that:
1. This complaint-affidavit is being filed to charge John Cruz, Filipino, of legal age and with residence at
Pasonanca, Zamboanga City, of the crime Rape under Article(Art.) 266 of the Revised Penal Code (RPC),
committed as follows:
(a) On 5 May 2014, at around 10:00 in the morning, I was barely 10 years of age and playing
outside my house when Oscar Ong came by and invited me to play computer games with him at the house
of John Cruz;
(b) On the way to their house, we passed by a narrow path where John Cruz suddenly pushed me
and Dingdong Dantes inside a small, low building, which turned out to be John’s comfort room;
(c) John barred the door, whipped out a fan knife and poked it against us and told us, “huwag kayo
magingay, kung hindi papatayin ko kayo!”;
(d) John then asked me to step on the rim of the toilet bowl facing him and for Oscar to hold me
from behind. Out of fear for my life, I followed his orders;
(e)While I was standing of the toilet bowl with my legs apart and Oscar’s arms tightly around my
waist, John drew his short pants down to his knees, and after lowering my underpants, he inserted his penis
into my vagina;
(f) After satisfying his carnal desires, Supot once again pointed the knife at Oscar and told him
“Gayahin mo amo! Ipasok mo ari mo sa ari niya!”;
(g) Oscar pretended to insert his penis to my vagina while John was masturbating; and
(h) Thereafter, he reiterated his threats to kill us. He gave me a five-peso coin and told me to buy
candies with it, however, I threw it away.
2. It took me several months before I was able to overcome my fear and told my mother, Nora Santiago,
about what happened to me.
3. Appalled by what happened, my mother and I went to the police station to report the crime committed
by John against my person.
The Police took my sworn statement, a copy of which is hereto attached and made an integral part thereof
as Annex “A”. Thereafter, I was examined by their medico-legal officer. A copy of the Medico-Legal Report is
likewise hereto attached and made an integral part hereof as Annex “B”.
4.Exactly one week ago, however, I was surprised to see John walking along our street, as I thought that
the police had filed a formal complaint with the fiscal on my behalf. Due to their failure to do so, and as I am
presently of legal age, I am personally filling this formal
complaint.
5. The elements of rape are carnal knowledge, force or intimidation, and the commission of the act without
the consent or against the will of the woman, or when the latter is under twelve (12) years of age or when she is
deprived of reason or otherwise unconscious.
6. Based on the foregoing, it is beyond cavil that respondent John committed the crime of rape punishable
under Art. 266 of the RPC. He had sexual intercourse with me even if I was just ten years old. This constitutes
statutory rape as defined in our laws.
Further, whenever the crime of rape is committed with the use of a deadly weapon or by two or more
persons, the penalty shall be reclusion perpetua.
AFFIANT FURTHER SAYETH NAUGHT IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hands this
19th day
of February 2018, in Zamboanga City.

JOHN CRUZ
Defendant,
x----------------------x

PETITION FOR LEGAL SEPARATION

1. Petitioner, Marsha Santiago Cruz and respondent, John Cruz, met each other sometime in 2000. The couple
decided to get married on January 18, 2003. A copy of their marriage certificate is hereto attached as
Annex “A.”
2. Petitioner and respondent lived in Barangay Tetuan, Zamboang City together with the petitioner’s family.
3. Petitioner siblings started to notice that petitioner and respondent often engaged in verbal arguments over
petty matters. Beginning 2015, respondent started to physically abuse petitioner every time they engaged
in verbal arguments. Respondent would kick and box petitioner even when the parents would try to meddle
between them. He would threaten petitioner to kill her if she wouldn’t stop nagging him. Such incidents
are still occurring from this day every time they engaged in argument.
4. Respondent’s involvement in drug addiction is also one of the reasons for this petition, since respondent
is an addict, he would beat petitioner every time he would ask her for money and the latter refuses to give
her any amount. He would use and get high even inside of their conjugal home. A copy of police record
of respondent involving violation against anti-dangerous drugs act.

Wherefore, premises considered, it is respectfully prayed that petitioner, Marsha Santiago-Cruz and John
Cruz be legally separated.
