he may be served with summons and other processes.

2. Sometime in January 2005 and over a period of six (6) months, defendant borrowed

pay any amount to plaintiff as no installment payment has even been made. A copy each of
plaintiff’s two (2) demand letters is attached as ANNEX A and B.

4. Resort to the Barangay Conciliation process proved fruitless as defendant failed to


appear, despite notice on him to appear. Thus, a Certification to File Action, a copy of which is
attached as ANNEX C, was issued by the Barangay Chairman.

5. Defendant’s 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 defendant’s unreasonable failure or refusal to pay his due and
demandable obligation, plaintiff was forced to engage the services of counsel to vindicate his
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

own behalf as members of said association and on behalf of all other members thereof, who are
so numerous that it is impracticable to implead them all as plaintiffs.

Defendants, as officers of said association, have mismanaged its affairs, did not render
any accounting to the members, and appropriated the members’ contribution unto themselves,
thereby compelling the members thereof to compel said officers to wind up the affairs of the
association and to require defendants as officers thereof to render an accounting of the money
and property of the association.

It has been held: “An action instituted by several hundred members of a voluntary
association against their officers to compel them to wind up the associations’ affairs and render
an accounting to the money and property in their possession has been held to be a class suit. In
that case there was in truth one single right of action sought to be enforced by the numerous
plaintiffs, not separate, individual, distinct rights pertaining independently to them.

- This is an action for partition of a parcel of land consisting of 15,000 sq,m., located in

accident on March 2, 2005, and since said date, defendant Samson dela Cruz, their elder
brother, has been occupying the same and reaping all its income to himself.
- The instant suit being a suit by and among members of the same family, plaintiffs exerted all
efforts to reach an amicable settlement of the case, by talking to defendant Samson dela
Cruz, convincing him to agree to extra-judicial partition of the property and even informing
him that plaintiffs are willing to forego any and even informing him that plaintiffs are
willing to forego any claim of accounting to convince him to settle the case amicably, but,
all such efforts proved useless.
- Plaintiffs had asked Myrna dela Cruz, being a co-owner to join plaintiffs as co-plaintiff, but
the latter refused, constraining plaintiffs to implead her as a defendant.

-versus- Civil case no.__________


For Accion Reivindicatoria
Quieting of Title
With Prayer for Preliminary
Mandatory Injunction

JUAN RICARDO G. TORRES,

Defendant.
X-------------------------------------------------------x

PRE-TRIAL BRIEF

DEFENDANT, by counsel, respectfully submits the Pre-Trial Brief, as follows:

I. WILLINGNESS TO ENTER INTO AN AMICABLE SETTLEMENT AND


POSSIBLE TERMS OF ANY SUCH SETTLEMENT

1.1 Subject to a concrete proposal that is fair and reasonable and a reciprocal
manifestation of openness from plaintiff, defendant is open to the possiblity of amicably
settling the dispute.
1.2 Pursuant to Rule 18 of the 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure, defendant respectfully
submits that the desired terms of any amicable settlement would involve, first, a clarification
of the real owner of a parcel of land at a residential area in Barangay Pakigne, Minglanilla,
Cebu which is the subject of the action awaiting confirmation as to the genuineness and
authenticity of the Transfer of Title and Deed of Absolute Sale presented by both parties.

II. ADMITTED FACTS

The allegations in paragraph 1 of the complaint as to the personal circumstances of the


plaintiff and paragraph 2

III. BRIEF STATEMENTS OF CLAIMS AND DEFENSES

A.The Plaintiff has NO CAUSE OF ACTION against the defendants as evidenced by the
following facts:
1. The Transfer Certificate of Title attached as “Annex -A” in the complaint lacks
genuineness and authenticity. It is just a certified true copy and did not contain the succeeding 3
pages of the title; the original owner’s duplicate copy is in the hands of the defendant. Hence,
there was no conveyance of legal title and ownership in the name of the plaintiff.

2. The lot is covered by the declaration of real property No. 20-0013-17460 issued by the
Minglanilla Assessor’s office on October 18, 2012, with an assessed value of thrity seven
thousand Five Hundred pesos (37,500.00); certified Xerox copy from duplicate file is attached
in the defendant’s answer and made an integral part as “Annex- E”.
Rule 2 of the Rules of Court defines a cause of action as:
SEC.2 Cause of action, defined- A cause of action is the act or omission by which a party
violates the right of another.
Circumstances considered, there was no right that was violated on the part of the plaintiff to
speak of since the absolute and registered owner is the defendant and not the plaintiff.
B. No cloud of title exists nor is there a need for a quieting of title that affects the lot
mentioned by the Plaintiff in the complaint.
In order that an action for quieting of title may prosper, two requisites must concur: 1.) the
plaintiff or complainant has a legal or equitable title or interest in the real property subject of
the action; and, (2) the deed, claim, encumbrance, or proceeding claimed to be casting cloud on
his title must be shown to be in fact invalid or inoperative despite its prima facie appearance of
validity or legal efficacy.

Defendant most respectfully submits that the complaint hardly qualifies for a quieting of title
because the plaintiff has not established equitable or legal title to the parcel of land in question.

IV. PROPOSED STIPULATION OF FACTS

As provided under Rule 26 of the Rule on Civil Procedure, defendant requests plaintiff to
admit the genuiness and due execution of the following documents within 15 days after service
thereof, otherwise each of the following documents presented by the defendant shall be deemed
admitted:
1. Transfer Certificate of Title No._______

2. Tax Declaration No. 20-0013-7460

V. PROPOSED ISSUES TO BE RESOLVED

Whether or not plaintiff has the legal or equitable title to the parcel of land in question

Whether or not plaintiff has a cause of action for the defendant

VI. TESTIMONIAL EVIDENCE

Defendant intends to present 1 or 2 witnesses to prove that he indeed purchased the land in
question from Gary Pogador as evidenced by the Absolute Deed of Sale indicating the name of
the defendant as the buyer.

VII. AVAILMENT OF MODES OF DISCOVERY

The defendant reserves the right to avail the modes of discovery in addition to the
aforementioned request for stipulation.

VIII . APPLICABLE LAWS AND JURISPRUDENCE

The defendants grounds its answer on the provision of the New Civil Code and 1997 Rules
of Procedure.

IX. RESERVATION

The defendant respectfully reserves the right to present additional and documentary evidence
as may become necessary in the course of the trial.

X. SPECIFIC TRIAL DATES

It is respectfully requested that the trial dates be set during the pre-trial conference to dates
most convenient to this Honorable Court and to all the parties.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.

CONTRARY TO LAW.”

During arraignment, accused with the assistance of her counsel de parte in the person of
Atty. Martin Mystica, pled not guilty to the information. Thereafter trial proceedings ensued.
The prosecution sought to prove the guilt of the accused through circumstantial evidence
through the testimonies of its four (4) witnesses, namely: complainant Mr. Alex Pingas, SPO2
Felix Pajaging, PC/Insp. Ruel Declaro, and Estrellita Estemalipala.
ALEX PINGAS, the complainant in this case, substantially testified that accused Juana
Dela Cruz was his employee for more or less ten (10) years in his pawnshop business. Accused
was hired as a teller at Subasta Pawnshop located La Loma, Quezon City. Accused was later
assigned as a vault custodian and appraiser at Big Apple Pawnshop located at 21 Shorthorn
Street, Brgy. Pinyahan,7 Quezon City.
On July 1, 2002, at around 8:15 o’clock in the morning, while he was at the Subasta
Pawnshop, he received a telephone call from Juana Dela Cruz informing him that she just arrived
at Big Time Pawnshop to open the said shop. According to Juana Dela Cruz, his pawnshop was
robbed. He proceeded to the Big Time Pawnshop to see for himself what happened thereat.
There, he examined that vault and noticed that the said vault was not forcibly opened, nor
destroyed. He reported the matter to Police Station 3 at Pinyahan, Quezon City, where SP03
Felix Pajaging went back with him the Big Time Pawnshop to investigate. Operatives from the,
SOCO (Scene of the Crime Operation) also arrived at the Big Time Pawnshop to gather some
fingerprints.
After the SOCO operatives left, he instructed accused Juana Dela Cruz to close the Big
Time Pawnshop, and that both of them are to proceed to Subasta Pawnshop.
He instructed accused Juana Dela Cruz, to continue reporting for work, which Juana
complied, as the latter came to work for the next three days after the robbery incident, after
which, he decided to suspend accused from her work for fifteen (15) days. He reasoned that the
cause of Juana’s suspension from her work was due to the on-going investigation and accused
might overhear his conversation with the investigator on the phone and that Juana was his main
suspect in the robbery.
Juana, however, did not report back to work anymore even after the lapse of her fifteen
(15) days suspension. He strongly suspects accused Juana Dela Cruz to be responsible for the
robbery because of his observation that the vault was opened without having been destroyed. In
support of his speculation, that accused Juana Dela Cruz is his suspect for the robbery, he opined
that in his 15 years in the (pawnshop) business, he has never heard of a case where the vault was
opened by the robbers, without destroying the dial. He added that it was only accused Juana Dela
Cruz who has custody of the keys as
well as the combination.
During cross-examination, complainant Alex Pingas was steadfast in his claim that it was
Juana who committed the crime, thus:

“Q That Juana Dela Cruz was your employee for almost ten years and her employment was cut short by
your decision to dismiss her from your employment, is that correct?

A No, sir.

Q How was she separated from her work?

A We suspended her for fifteen days and she did not come back, sir.

Q And the reason why you suspended her for fifteen days was because of your suspicion that she may
have some connivance with the thieves who entered your pawnshop, is that correct?

A Not only suspicion, I know she is the main suspect in the robbery, sir.”9
xxx xxx xxx

“Q You mentioned during your direct examination that three days after the robbery incident, you
suspended the accused Juana Dela Cruz for fifteen days but you are really suspecting her of being
involved in that robbery?

A Yes, sir.

Q But you have no direct evidence yet that she was directly involved?

A Yes, sir.

Q So you have no basis yet to suspend her from her work considering that you have no evidence yet to
suspect that she had something to do with that robbery?
A No direct evidence but circumstantial evidence, sir.

Q Despite the fact that she has been working for you for ten years, you still suspected her?

A Yes, sir, because the combination was not destroyed.

Q At the time you suspended her from work, did you personally inform her that she was your suspect and
that is why she was being suspended?

A I told her that she was being suspended because a robbery was committed in the shop and she was the
one- in-charge and that the robbery is under investigation.

Q But there were no findings yet by the police or by the SOCO that she was directly linked to that crime,
you suspended her nevertheless, despite the fact that the case is still under investigation?

A I also conducted my own investigation, sir. Q What kind of investigation did you do?
A I checked everything and because she was the only one in the shop during that time.”10

9 TSN, Aug. 18, 2004, pp. 4-5.

xxx xxx xxx

“Q After you told her that she is suspended for fifteen days, she never again reported back to work?

A That is right, sir.

Q And were you even surprised why she never reported back for work after you suspended her, having
suspected her of being involved in that robbery?

A No, sir, because when she did not come back, I presumed that she has done something.

Q Did it occur to you that the reason why she did not report anymore for work was because you might
have hurt her feelings, because you had the temerity of accusing her for having something to do with the
robbery?

A No, sir.

Q It did not occur to you that you might have hurt her feelings?

A No, sir, I received a complaint from the NLRC.

Q So, Juana filed an illegal dismissal case against you? A Yes, sir.”

SPO2 FELIX PAJAGING, the assigned investigator in this case testified that on July 1, 2002 at
around 10:30 o’clock in the morning complainant Alex Pingas arrived at his office at Station 3 and
reported that his pawnshop was robbed. He notified the Crime Laboratory, particularly the SOCO team, to
gather fingerprints at the pawnshop. He went with Mr. Pingas at the Big Time pawnshop and arrived
thereat between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.
Upon arrival thereat, he noticed that the padlock of the passage toward the residential apartment
was opened. He identified in court the pictures taken by Mr. Alex Pingas which were shot on July 16,
2002. The SOCO team headed by Pol. Insp. Declaro arrived and gathered finger prints. He likewise
admitted that there were no suspects at the time, thus:

“Q At the time you took the statement of Mr. Pingas in this case, did you have any suspects at that
time?

A At that time sir, I have no suspects at that time but according to complainant Pingas he said that [he]
has a suspect who did the crime and it was Juana Dela Cruz.
xxx xxx xxx
Q What was the basis of Mr. Pingas, the private complainant in this case when he said that he has a
suspect, and this was the accused in this case when you conducted the investigation on July 1, 2002.
A According to Mr. Pingas the person who has an access and at the same time who keeps the key of the
vault is Juana Dela Cruz.”12
xxx xxx xxx

“Q What was your conclusion regarding this incident as reflected in your report?
A After [I] took all the statements of the complainant and witnesses, I had the conclusion, based on the
testimonies of the private complainant and the witnesses, I made a conclusion of a circumstantial
evidence based on the testimony of Florida and Estrellita. And one of the basis is the vault itself, the vault
was opened without any force, so it might be open[ed] by Juana Dela Cruz who knows the combination or
there are other person who
knows the combination.”13
During cross-examination, SPO2 Pajaging admitted that the referral to the prosecutor’s office was
immediately forwarded based only on the suspicions of complainant Alex Pingas that Juana Dela Cruz is
the suspect, despite the fact that the SOCO team has yet to submit its report on the evidence gathered at
the crime scene, thus:

“Q So, Mr. Witness, you would agree with me that the accused was present when you arrived at the
Big Time Pawnshop?

A She was present, sir.

Q She did not try to run away when you and the other persons arrived?

12 TSN, Oct. 6, 2004, pp. 11-12.


13 Ibid., p. 17.

A No, sir.

Q And some operatives arrived? A The SOCO team, sir.


Q Now, what was the result o the investigation of the SOCO?

A Up to the present I don’t have a copy of the result coming from the Crime Laboratory, sir.

Q Are you saying Mr. Witness, that you proceeded with the recommendation of this case for referral to
the Prosecutor’s Office even without waiting for the result of SOCO crime laboratory?

A Only based on my investigation and the testimonies of two witnesses I gathered and the documentary
evidence.

Q As an experienced investigator, did you find it unnecessary to await the SOCO result before referral of
this case to the Prosecutor’s Office against the accused?

A I wasn’t able to wait for the result of the SOCO but the case was already filed with the Prosecutor’s
Office.”14
xxx xxx xxx
“Q Mr. Witness, did Mr. Pingas tell you how he discovered this robbery of his pawnshop?
A Actually, according to him he suspected that Juana Dela Cruz as the one who robbed his pawnshop.
xxx xxx xxx

Q Would you say that as a result of your investigation, there was no suspect at first?

A During the time of my investigation?

Q Yes, you have no suspect in your mind? A Yes, sir.


Q And it was only complainant Pingas who told you that Juana Dela Cruz was his suspect who robbed his
pawnshop, and you considered the case solved?

A Based on his statement, sir.”15

The next witness to testify was PC/ Insp. RUEL DECLARO, the representative from the SOCO. Declaro
testified that on July 1, 2002, he received a telephone call from SPO2 Felix Pajaging and informed him
about a robbery which occurred at the Big Time Pawnshop located at No. 21-C Shorthorn Street,
Barangay Pinyahan, Quezon City. A SOCO team was formed composed of the team leader, fingerprint
technician, photographer, driver and the evidence clerk. They proceeded to the place of the incident and
arrived at 11:45 a.m.
Upon arrival thereat, they determined the whole area of the crime scene, conducted crime interpretation
and started to process the possible evidence gathered. According to Declaro there was no forcible entry.
As far as he knows, the robbers entered and exited through the back door. He presented in court
photographs of the scene. Declaro noted that there was no force applied in opening the vault, because the
lock can still be moved.
Declaro likewise admitted that although latent fingerprints were gathered from the crime scene, the
SOCO office never submitted its report to the investigator or prosecutor’s office, nor did it bothered to
process the results to determine to whom the said fingerprints belonged to. The SOCO team never asked
the accused, and other personnel of Big Time Pawnshop to give samples of their fingerprints for
comparison with the said fingerprints lifted from the crime scene.
Thus, he testified, to wit:

“Q At the time you went to the crime scene, was there already a suspect?

A It was not yet established, sir.

Q You mentioned about the taking of fingerprints, do you have any result of the fingerprints taken
from the crime scene?

A Since there was no suspect at that time, we have not arrived to any examination, sir.

Q There was no examination on the fingerprints lifted from the crime scene?

A Yes, sir.”16

On cross-examination, Vacaro testified:

“Q When did you submit your report to Pajaging? A We did not submit that report, sir.
Q So this was never received by Pajaging, the investigator? A No, sir.
Q In fact, this is the first time that you produced this report, it was never submitted in the Prosecutor’s
Office neither to Pajaging?

A We prepared it on the indicated date, sir.

Q My question was, you did not submit this to Pajaging, the investigator in this case, and neither was this
submitted to the Prosecutor’s Office?

A No, sir.

Q This is the first time you are bringing this document? A Yes, sir.
xxx xxx xxx

Q Mr. witness, you mentioned that your investigation turned up zero, there was no suspect in this case
per your SOCO investigation?

A We gathered latent prints, subject to examination but the particular person as to whom these belong or
the suspect is based on the follow-up investigation conducted by the office on case. We told them we
gathered latent prints that remain in our office for future reference.

Q Until now, there is no result as to whom those prints belong?

A No result yet, sir.

Q You have no record whatsoever as to whom those prints belong?

A No record, sir.

Q Up to this time you have not processed anything about those prints?

A Not yet, sir. They remain in our office.

Q Is it not that the reason why you did not submit this to Pajaging, not even to the Prosecutor’s Office,
was because there is no suspect?

A During the preparation of the report, the suspect was not yet established, sir.

COURT

What is your reason in not submitting that report to the investigator or the prosecutor’s office?
A We cannot arrive at the final report because there was no person taken for fingerprinting, your
honor.

COURT

Is that SOP in your office?

A In our office, your honor, the questioned latent prints remain in our office for future reference.

COURT

Is that your SOP, non-submission of your report to the Fiscal’s Office or office of the investigator?

A Yes, your honor. C O U R T


Continue PUBLIC ATTORNEY:
Mr. Witness, did anyone tell you, whether the complainant or investigator handling this case, that there is
already a suspect?

A We received subpoena on February 17 and then we received another subpoena directing me to report in
this office to testify, I had no idea if there is a suspect, sir.

Q So, therefore, SOCO office never bothered to get the fingerprints of the accused to compare with the
latent fingerprints you lifted from the crime scene?

A No, sir.”
The last witness to testify was Estrellita Estemalipala, an employee of complainant Alex Pingas. The gist
of her testimony was that she resigned from her work at Subasta Pawnshop as she planned to work
overseas. She turned over to accused Juana Dela Cruz all the keys to the pawnshop after she resigned.
However, her plan did not materialize, thus she was re-employed by Alex Pingas as a cashier at Subasta
Pawnshop. On July 16, 2002, while at the Subasta Pawnhop, she saw her employer Alex Pingas placed
the bunch of keys on top of a table. She noticed that the padlocks from the Big Time Pawnshop and some
keys were missing. She called the attention of Mr. Pingas to the fact of said missing keys. Thereafter, Mr.
Pingas accompanied her to the police station to report the loss of the
missing keys.

DISCUSSION

The prosecution miserably failed to prove the supposed unbroken chain of circumstantial
evidence that accused Juana Dela Cruz committed the crime of Qualified Theft.
The prosecution was emphasizing the fact that the vault of complainant’s pawnshop was
opened by the robbers without destroying the said vault. However, the prosecution presented as
one of its exhibits (Exh. “E”) a photograph showing the destroyed portion of the grill above the
door, supposedly where the robbers passed through. Noteworthy that if accused Juana Dela Cruz
would be the one who committed the theft at the said pawnshop, it would be absurd for her to go
through all the trouble of destroying the grills above the pawnshop door, despite having
possession of all the keys to the said pawnshop.
It should be remembered at the outset, the circumstantial evidence consists only of speculations
and probabilities that accused was responsible for the theft/robbery that occurred at Big Apple
Pawnshop.
Noteworthy that prosecution witness PC/Insp. Ruel Declaro, a member of the
responding SOCO team, admitted in court that the latent fingerprints that he lifted was not even
processed for identification to either confirm or establish that the same indeed belonged to
accused Juana Dela Cruz, OR whether said latent fingerprints belonged to persons other that the
accused. The identification of the said latent fingerprints would have ruled out any participation
of accused in the robbery if it were proven that it belonged to other persons, not necessarily
accused Juana Dela Cruz.
As in all criminal cases, speculation and probabilities cannot take the place of proof required to
establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt.

Evidence showing a mere possibility of guilt, no matter how strong, is


insufficient to warrant a conviction.

In the appreciation of evidence in criminal cases, it is a basic tenet that the prosecution
has the burden of persuasion in establishing the guilt of the accused for the offense he is charged
–ei incumbit probation non qui negat. The conviction of the accused must rest not on the
weakness of his defense but on the strength of the prosecution’s evidence.21 It failed to do so in
this case.
Otherwise, we will see the absurdity of an accused being put in a more difficult position
where the prosecution’s evidence is vague and weak than where it is strong.22
The presumption of innocence is founded upon the basic principles of justice and is a substantial
part of the law, it cannot be overcome by mere suspicion or conjecture.23 Under our criminal
justice system, the overriding consideration is not whether the court doubts the innocence of the
accused but whether it entertains a reasonable doubt as to his guilt. This applies with more vigor
in the case at bar where the evidence of the prosecution is purely circumstantial. A judgment of
conviction must rest on nothing less than moral certainty.25
In summation, the defense respectfully submits that the pieces of circumstantial evidence
are insufficient to prove the guilt beyond reasonable doubt of accused Juana Dela Cruz for the
crime of Qualified Theft. They do not pass the requisite moral certainty, as they admit of the
alternative inference that other persons, not necessarily the accused, may have perpetrated the
crime. Where the evidence admits of two interpretations, one of which is consistent with guilt,
and the other with innocence, the accused must be acquitted. Indeed, it would be better to set free
ten (10) men who might be probably guilty of the crime
charged than to convict one innocent man for a crime he did not commit.

PRAY E R

WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is most respectfully prayed of this Honorable Court that
the Information for Qualified Theft against accused Juana Dela Cruz be DISMISSED for
insufficiency of evidence.

15.The allegations in paragraph 15,16,17,18 are denied as the same is an
erroneous conclusion made by the plaintiff;

16.The foregoing are subject to the special and affirmative defenses hereunder
presented.

SPECIAL AND AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSES

17. The Plaintiff has NO CAUSE OF ACTION against the defendants;

Rule 2 of the Rules of Court defines a cause of action as:


Sec.2.Cause of action, defined- A cause of action is the act or
omission by which a party violates of another.
The essential elements of a cause of action are (1) a right in
favor of the plaintiff by whatever means and under whatever law it
arises or is created; (2) an obligation on the part of the named
defendant to respect or not to violate such right; and (3) an act or
omission on the part of such defendant in violation of the right of the
plaintiff or constituting a breach of the obligation of the defendant to
the plaintiff for which the latter may maintain an action for recovery
of damages or other appropriate relief.
The Defendant is the absolute and registered owner of the Seventy-Six (76)
Square meter lot situated at a residential area in Barangay Pakigne,
Minglanilla,Cebu. The said lot was purchased by the Defendant from Garry A.
Pogador on May 28,2003; an original copy of the Deed of Absolute attached
herewith and made an integral part hereof as ANNEX “C” to ANNEX “C-1”.The
title to the said lot was transferred to the name on the defendant on June 7, 2003; a
copy of the original owner’s duplicate copy is attached herewith and made an
integral part hereof as ANNEX “D” to ANNEX “D-1”.

The lot is covered by Tax Declaration of Real Property No. 20-0013-17460


issued by the Minglanilla Assessor’s Office on October 18, 2012, with an assessed
value of Thirty Seven Thousand Five Hundred Pesos (P37,500.00); certified Xerox
copy from duplicate file is attached herewith and made an integral part hereof as
“ANNEX E”.

Therefore there was no right that was violated on the part of the plaintiff to
speak of since the absolute and registered owner is the defendant and not the
plaintiff.

18.No cloud of Title exists nor is there a need for a quieting of title that
affects the lot mentioned by the Plaintiff in the Complaint.
In order that an action for quieting of title may prosper, two requisites
must concur: (1) the plaintiff or complainant has a legal or equitable
title or interest in the real property subject of the action; and (2) the
deed, claim, encumbrance, or proceeding claimed to be casting cloud
on his title must be shown to be in fact invalid or inoperative despite
is prima facie appearance of validity or legal efficacy.
Defendant most respectfully submits that the Complaint hardly qualifies for
a quieting of title because they have not established equitable or legal title to the
parcel of land in question.

COUNTERCLAIMS

In the rare event that the Honorable Court shall resolve to proceed with the
trial of the case despite the above special and affirmative defenses, the
Defendant submit the following compulsory counterclaims and for this
purpose, hereby restate and repleads all the allegations in the preceding
paragraphs by way of reference and incorporation:

1. Due to the plaintiff’s willful and patent disregard of the defendants’


rights, the defendant suffered inconvenience, embarrassment and
humiliation thereby causing them mental anguish, serious anxiety,
wounded feelings and social humiliation, resulting in moral damages for
which the plaintiff should be held liable in the amount of One Hundred
Fifty Thousand Pesos (P150,000.00), Philippine currency;
2. To deter others from following after the plaintiffs wanton acts and
evident bad faith, she should be held liable to pay the plaintiff exemplary
damages in the amount of Fifty Thousand Pesos (P50,000.00), Philippine
currency, by way of example or correction for the public good;

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, it is most respectfully


prayed that-
1. The Special and Affirmative shall be immediately set for preliminary
hearing;
2. After the said preliminary hearing, to issue an Order dismissing the
plaintiff’s complaint for Accion Reivindicatoria, Quieting of Title and
Damages and for the issuance of a Writ of Preliminary Mandatory
Injunction;
3. In the remote event that the Honorable Court shall proceed with the trial,
the defendant pray for a judgment denying the reliefs prayed for by the
plaintiff for lack of merit;
4. On the compulsory counterclaims – to order the plaintiff to pay the
defendants-
a. Moral damages in the amount of One Hundred Fifty Pesos
(P150,000.00),Philippine currency;
b. Exemplary damages in the amount of Fifty Thousand
Pesos(P50,000.00), Philippine currency;
c. Attorney’s fee in the amount of Five Hundred Thousand Pesos
(P500,000.00),Philippine currency;

1. Petitioner is of legal age, married to JERSON JAMITO, and a resident of

Fatima, Liloy, Zamboanga. On the other hand, Respondent is a government agency which has an address

at Liloy, Zamboanga del Norte and to where it can be served with the notices and legal processes of the

Honorable Court;

2. Petitioner is the biological mother of one MARGIE DAGAYLOAN JAMITO who

was born on November 9, 1972 in Goin, Liloy, Zamboanga del Norte. That the facts surrounding the birth

of the said MARGIE DAGAYLOAN JAMITO were duly reported and registered with the respondent’s

office as evidenced by her Certificate of Live Birth issued by the respondent, a machine copy of which is

annexed as part hereof and marked as Annex “A”;

3. Just as Margie was preparing all of her papers and other documents for

purposes of employment overseas, she discovered that her Certificate of Live birth contained erroneous

entries, all of which, if left uncorrected, would effectively cast doubt and confusion as to her real person

and identity, viz;

a. Therein, and as appearing in Entry no. 3 of Annex “A”, Margie’s middle name was

incorrectly spelled to DAGAYLO-AN when the same should had been spelled as

DAGAYLOAN;

b. Likewise, Margie’s family name was incorrectly spelled to HAMITO when it should

had been correctly spelled as JAMITO;


c. The spelling of the surname of Margie’s father, JERSON, as shown under Entry No.

8 of Annex “A” was also incorrectly spelled to HAMITO when it should had been

JAMITO as stated above;

d. Finally, Petitioner’s name, in her capacity as the mother of Margie, was likewise

erroneously entered into as WENEFREDA DAGAYLO-AN when the same should

had been inscribed thereat as WENIFREDA DAGAYLOAN;

4. In support of all of the above-contentions, Petitioner is attaching herewith

the following documents, to wit:

a. Petitioner’s Certificate of Marriage with her husband, JERSON JAMITO, issued by

the Respondent and herein marked as Annex “B”;

b. The Certification coming from the Office of the Municipal Mayor of Liloy,

Zamboanga del Norte marked as Annex “C”;

c. Petitioner’s Voter’s Registration Records issued by the COMELEC which is marked

as Annex “D”; and

d. The Voter’s Registration Records of Petitioner’s husband, JERSON JAMITO, issued

by the COMELEC which is marked as Annex “E”;

5. All told, it therefore now becomes fitting and proper that the aforesaid

erroneous entries appearing in the Certificate of Live Birth of Petitioner’s daughter be corrected in order

to eliminate the doubts and confusions on the personality and identity of Petitioner’s daughter brought by

the same, thus, this Petition;

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is hereby most respectfully prayed of the Honorable

Court that an order be issued directing respondent, the Local Civil Registrar of Liloy, Zamboanga del

Norte, to correct the erroneous entries appearing in the Certificate of Live Birth of Petitioner’s daughter,

Margie, by:

a. Making Margie’s middlename to DAGAYLOAN from DAGAYLO-AN;

b. Making her surname to JAMITO from HAMITO;

c. Making the surname of Petitioner’s husband to JAMITO from HAMITO;

d. Making Petitioner’s first name as WENIFREDA instead of WENEFREDA; and

e. Making Petitioner’s maiden name as DAGAYLOAN instead of DAGAYLO-AN;

Petitioner likewise prays for such other reliefs and orders proper and appropriate in the premises.

Fatima, Liloy, Zamboanga del Norte, September 26 , 2005.

ROEL PONCE DE LEON


Defendant

MOTION TO CANCEL LIS PENDENS

Plaintiff, by counsel and to this Honorable Court, respectfully states:

Defendant caused the annotation or registration of a notice of lis pendens on the subject matter of
the instant suit,

2. Defendant caused the recording of the lis pendens for the purpose of molesting plaintiff, and
the recordal thereof is not necessary to protect his rights to the property, his right thereto, if any, is
only indirect and contingent.

The recordal of the lis pendens is prejudicial to plaintiff’s interest to the property because, being
the owner of said property, it is burden and it restricts its transferability by sale, as no one will
buy it during the pendency of the case and for as long as the lis pendens is not canceled.

RELIEF

WHEREFORE, plaintiff respectfully prays that the notice of lis pendens be ordered cancelled.

Other just and equitable reliefs are likewise prayed for.

alleges:

That petitioner would be coming home solely to testify in this case on November 24 to

will continue from day to day at the same place and time until completed.

Thus in the interest of substantial justice and equity, and considering that petitioner needs to go
back to work abroad after the last week of November 2013 and shall remain there for an
indefinite period of time, petitioner respectfully moves that the Honorable Court allow the taking
of his deposition upon oral examination before the Honorable Presiding Judge pursuant to Rule
23, Section 1, 10 and 15 of the 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure, within the stated time and date,
based on the discretion of the Honorable Court.

This motion is not in any way intended to delay the proceedings but dictated solely for the
reasons stated above.

WHEREFORE, petitioner respectfully prays that the Honorable Court allow the taking of
deposition upon oral examination of petitioner on 26 November 2013 at 8:30 o’clock in the
morning pursuant to Rule 23 of the 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure on the dates and time stated
above.

Petitioner prays for such further or other relief as may be deemed just or equitable under
the premises.
