ALIS DI-YAN COMPANY,

Plaintiff,
Civil Case No. 2222
- versus - For: Ejectment
YOKO NGA,
Defendant.
x ----------------------------------- x
COMPLAINT
PLAINTIFF, by counsel, respectfully states that:
[2] 1. Plaintiff is a foreign corporation organized and existing under the laws of France with
business address at 111 Ocean Drive, Tuna Compound, Quezon City; Defendant is a Filipino, of legal age,
single and currently resident of 112 Ocean Drive, Tuna Compound, Quezon City, where he may be served
with summons and other pertinent processes.
[3] 2. Plaintiff owns that property located at 112 Ocean Drive, Tuna Compound, Quezon City
which it leased to defendant under the terms and conditions stated in the Contract of Lease dated 1
January 2005, which contract expires on 31 December 2006. A copy of the contract is attached as ANNEX
A.
3. Upon expiration of the contract, plaintiff informed defendant of its intention not to renew the
lease as it would use the property for its business expansion; plaintiff then asked defendant to vacate the
premises. A copy of plaintiff’s letter to defendant is attached as ANNEX B.
[4] 4. Despite demand duly made and received, defendant has refused to vacate the premises
and continues to occupy the property without plaintiff’s consent. Resort to the Barangay conciliation
system proved useless as defendant refused to appear before the Lupong Tagapamayapa. A Certification
to File Action is attached as ANNEX C.
5. Defendant’s act of dispossession has caused plaintiff to suffer material injury because
plaintiff’s business expansion plans could not be implemented despite the arrival of machineries
specifically leased for this purpose at the rental rate of US$500 per month. Defendant’s continued
occupation of the premises has also forced plaintiff to sue and to incur legal expenses amounting to Fifty
Thousand Pesos (P50,000.00).
[5] WHEREFORE, plaintiff respectfully prays for judgment in its favor by ordering defendant to
vacate the property and peacefully turn over possession to plaintiff and for defendant to pay plaintiff the
amount of US$3,500 representing rentals on the machineries for seven (7) months and Fifty Thousand
Pesos (P50,000.00) for Attorney’s fees.

Civil Case No. 000882
- versus - For: Sum of Money
MANGGA GANTSO,
Defendant.
x -------------------------- x
COMPLAINT
[2] 1. Plaintiff is a Filipino, of legal age, and resident of 6750 Forbes Park, Makati City;
defendant is also a Filipino, of legal age and resident of 6752, Forbes Park, Makati City, where he may be
served with summons and other processes.
[3] 2. Sometime in January 2005 and over a period of six (6) months, defendant borrowed
certain amounts from plaintiff. Defendant promised to pay these amounts on an installment basis
monthly. These amounts now total Nine Hundred Thousand Pesos (P900,000.00).
[4] 3. Despite repeated demands, both oral and written, defendant failed or has refused to 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).
[5] 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 Attorney’s Fees.

YOKO NGA,
Defendant.
x----------------------------------- x
COMPLAINT
Plaintiff, by counsel, respectfully states that:
[2] 1. Plaintiff is the general manager of Hurts Rent-A-Car with offices at Makati City; defendant
is a Tongan, temporarily residing at Bayview Hotel, Roxas Boulevard, Manila.
[3] 2. Hurts Rent-A-Car is the registered owner of a Honda CRV with license plate number XLV-
675, which defendant, on 3 March 2005, rented from plaintiff for a period of one (1) week.
[4] 3. On 15 March 2005, plaintiff demanded from defendant the return of the car but
defendant failed and refused to do so.
4. The car has not been taken for a tax assessment or a fine pursuant to law nor has it been
seized on execution or attachment. Its present value is approximately Nine Hundred Thousand Pesos
(P900,000.00).
5. Plaintiff is ready, willing and able to give bond in defendant’s name in double the value of the
property for the return of the property to defendant should that be adjudged or for the payment of such
sum that defendant may recover from plaintiff in this action.
[5] WHEREFORE, plaintiff respectfully prays that the writ of replevin issue directing the Sheriff or
any other authorized officer to take possession of the car and dispose of it in accordance with the Rules
of Court and, after hearing, judgment be rendered declaring plaintiff to be lawfully entitled to the
possession of the car and sentencing defendant to pay its value.

NANG UUPA,

- versus -
NAGPA PAUPA,
Defendant.
x ---------------------- x
COMPLAINT
[2] 1. Plaintiff and Defendant are both Filipino citizens and of legal age; plaintiff resides at 1-A,
Cruz Street, Pasig City while defendant resides at 2 Frisco Street, Pasig City, where he may be served
with summons.
[3] 2. On 1 January 2003, defendant leased to plaintiff the premises at 1-A Cruz Street, Pasig
City for a monthly rental of One Thousand Pesos (P1,000.00) to be paid within the first five (5) days of
each month.
3. There is no fixed period for the lease agreement except that rentals are to be paid by the
month.
[4] 4. Plaintiff has been paying the rentals as they fall due each month, without fail. However,
on 4 April 2006, defendant gave notice to plaintiff that he is terminating the lease agreement by the end
of August 2006.
5. Considering that the period of lease has not been fixed, this Honorable Court may fix a longer
period of time as the lessee has been occupying the place for a period of three (3) years. A period of two
(2) years is reasonable considering that the lessee has no place to transfer to immediately and that he
has introduced substantial improvements to the premises amounting to Fifty Thousand Pesos
(P50,000.00).
[5] WHEREFORE, it is respectfully prayed that this Honorable Court fix a period of years for the
lease between plaintiff and defendant.

ANSWER
(With COUNTERCLAIM)
DEFENDANT, by counsel, respectfully states that:
Admissions/Denials
[2] 1. He admits the contents of paragraph 1 only insofar as his personal circumstances but
specifically denies the contents insofar as plaintiff’s personal circumstances for the reason stated in the
Affirmative Defenses below.
2. He admits the contents of paragraph 2 only where it states that a Contract of Lease was
entered into but specifically denies that the Contract reflects the true intent of the parties as explained in
the Affirmative Defenses below.
3. He admits the contents of paragraph 3 only as to the fact that demand to vacate was made
but specifically denies its contents as to the truth of the reasons for the letter for lack of knowledge
sufficient to form a reasonable belief as to its truth or falseness..
4. He specifically denies the contents of paragraphs 4 to 6 for the reasons stated in the
Affirmative Defenses below.
Affirmative Defenses
[4] 5. Defendant reiterates, repleads and incorporates by reference all the foregoing insofar as
they are material and additionally submit that the Complaint should be dismissed because:
5.1. Plaintiff has no capacity to sue as it is a foreign corporation doing business

in the Philippines without a license.
5.2. The Complaint fails to state a cause of action as the Contract of Lease
(ANNEX A) was, before its expiration, superceded by a Deed of Absolute Sale whereby
plaintiff sold to defendant the parcel of land in question, a copy of which is attached as
ANNEX 1.
Counterclaim
[5] 6. Defendant reiterates, repleads and incorporates by reference all the foregoing insofar as
they are material and additionally submit that he is entitled to relief arising from the filing of this
malicious and baseless suit, as follows:
6.1. Moral Damages amounting to One Million Pesos (PHP1,000,000/00)

because his name and reputation were besmirched by this malicious and baseless suit.
6.2. Attorney’s Fees amounting to One Hundred Thousand Pesos (P100,000.00)

because he was compelled to secure services of counsel to vindicate his legal rights.
[6] WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully prays that judgment be rendered in his favor by
dismissing the Complaint and granting defendant’s counterclaim by awarding defendant: (a) One Million
Pesos as Moral Damages, and (b) Fifty Thousand as Attorney’s Fees.
Other just and equitable reliefs are prayed for.

PRE-TRIAL BRIEF
DEFENDANT, by counsel, respectfully submits her 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 possibility of amicably settling this dispute.
[1 & 2] 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 actual extent of any obligation due and owing to plaintiff inasmuch as there is nothing to indicate
defendant’s obligations to plaintiff and, second, a schedule of payments.
II. BRIEF STATEMENT OF CLAIMS AND DEFENSES
2.1. Plaintiff seeks principally to recover the amount of Twenty Two Million Eight Hundred
Eighteen Thousand Nine Hundred Forty Eight Pesos and Thirty Centavos (PHP22,818,948.30) with
interest at twelve percent (12%) arising allegedly from unpaid orders delivered to defendant variously in
1989.
2.2. Defendant resists plaintiff’s claims based on a failure to state a cause of action because of :
2.2.1. Plaintiff’s lack of personality to sue and, therefore, not being the real
party in interest under Rule 3, section 2 of the 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure;
2.2.2. Extinguishment of the alleged claim made by the entity Regency

Furniture.
2.3. Defendant also interposed a compulsory counterclaim for Two Million Pesos
(PHP2,000,000.00) for moral damages and Two Million Pesos (PHP2,000,000.00) for exemplary damages
and One Hundred Thousand Pesos (PHP100,000.00) as attorney’s fees.
III. FACTS AND OTHER MATTERS ADMITTED BY THE PARTIES
[3] 3.1. Defendant admits only those facts stated in her Answer, i.e., her personal
circumstances, receipt of the demand letter dated January 5, 1997 and her reply to the demand letter.
3.2. Subject to a concrete proposal for stipulation of additional facts from plaintiff during pre-
trial or even thereafter, defendant admits no other facts stated in the Complaint.
IV. ISSUES TO BE TRIED
[4] 4.1. Defendant submits that the following issues put forward by plaintiff are subject to
proof:
4.1.1. Plaintiff’s personality to seek legal relief;

4.1.2. Plaintiff’s entitlement to the amount claimed;
4.2. Defendant submits that the following issues she put forward are subject to proof:
4.2.1. Plaintiff’s bad faith in filing this suit;

13
4.2.2. Defendant’s entitlement to the claims made in her Compulsory
Counterclaim as a result of plaintiff’s bad faith;
V. EVIDENCE
[6] 5.1. Defendant intends to present the following witnesses:
5.1.1. Defendant herself, who will testify on the true circumstances leading to
the filing of this suit against her;
5.1.2. An employee of Topless Enterprises with personal knowledge as to the

true circumstances behind the alleged obligations due and owing in favor of plaintiff.
[5] 5.2. Defendant reserves the right to present any and all documentary evidence which shall
become relevant to rebut plaintiff’s claims in the course of trial as well as any other witnesses whose
testimony will become relevant to belie plaintiff’s witnesses, if necessary.
VI. RESORT TO DISCOVERY
[7] 6.1. Considering the relatively simple issues presented, defendant does not intend to avail of
discovery at this time.
6.2. Subject, however, to a concrete and reasonable request for discovery from plaintiff,
defendant reserves the right to resort to discovery before trial.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.

x --------------------------------------- x
MOTION TO DISMISS
DEFENDANT, by counsel, respectfully moves to dismiss the Complaint on the ground that the
Complaint fails to state a cause of action as [1] THE OBLIGATION SOUGHT TO BE ENFORCED BY
PLAINTIFF IS NOT YET DUE AND DEMANDABLE, as shown by the following:
[2] 1. Allegedly, plaintiff has failed to reach the quotas agreed upon under the Marketing
Agreement dated 1 January 2006; defendant now seeks to collect the sum of TWO HUNDRED
THOUSAND PESOS (P200,000.00), representing the balance of the proceeds due plaintiff under the said
Marketing Agreement.
2. The contract is for one (1) year and defendant is given that same period to reach the quota
specified therein; the period of one (1) year has not expired. Consequently, plaintiff’s claim is premature
as there is yet no breach of the Marketing Agreement until the period expires and the quota is not
attained. For this reason, plaintiff’s Complaint states no cause of action and must be dismissed.
[3] WHEREFORE, defendant respectfully prays that the Complaint be DISMISSED for failure to
state a cause of action.

MOTION FOR POSTPONEMENT
1. This case is set for trial on 5 May 2007 at 8:30 in the morning.
[1] 2. On said date and time, the undersigned counsel will be unable to appear before this
Honorable Court as he has also been directed to appear on this date and time before the Regional Trial

MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
1. He has been directed to file a Reply to defendant’s Answer by 10 May 2007.

requiring the preparation of pleadings and almost daily trial appearances before the various courts within
and outside Metro Manila. For this reason, the undersigned is constrained to ask for an additional fifteen
(15) days from 10 May 2007, or until 25 May 2007, within which to submit plaintiff’s Reply.
3. This motion is not intended for delay but is motivated only by the foregoing reason.

defendant on 20 March 2007, as indicated by the Sheriff’s Return of even date, a copy of which is
attached as ANNEX A.
[1 & 2] 2. Defendant’s reglementary period to file Answer ended on 5 April 2007; no motion for
extension of such period was filed nor was any granted motu proprio by this Honorable Court. Despite
the lapse of time, defendant has failed to answer the Complaint against her; plaintiff is entitled to a
declaration of default and the right to present evidence ex parte against defendant.
[3] WHEREFORE, plaintiff respectfully prays that defendant be declared in default and that
plaintiff be allowed to present evidence ex parte before the Clerk of Court acting as Commissioner.

8. Motion to lift order of default

ANAKIN SKYWALKER,
Plaintiff,
- versus -
PADME AMIDALA,
Defendant.
x ---------------------------------- x
MOTION TO LIFT ORDER OF DEFAULT
DEFENDANT, by counsel, respectfully states that:
1. Five (5) days after service of summons and receipt of Complaint, she filed a Motion to Dismiss
on the ground that plaintiff’s claim is outside the jurisdictional amount of this Honorable Court under the
new Expanded Jurisdiction Act and that the Complaint should properly be filed and tried before the
Metropolitan Trial Court. The Motion to Dismiss, which was received by plaintiff’s counsel on 25 March
2007, was set for hearing on 10 April 2007, as indicated on the “Request for and Notice of Hearing”.
2. Without waiting for the hearing on the Motion to Dismiss, this Honorable Court declared
defendant in default on 7 April 2007 based solely on plaintiff’s Motion, filed two (2) days after the
supposed lapse of the reglementary period, which, however, was tolled by the filing of a Motion to
Dismiss.
[1 & 2] 3. Under the circumstances, the order of default is premature and without legal and
factual basis as: (a) defendant has not failed to file an Answer within the reglementary period, (b) the
reglementary period has not lapsed because of the filing of the Motion to Dismiss within the period, and
(c) the pendency of the Motion to Dismiss is prejudicial to the issue of defendant’s default. Consequently,
the order of default should be lifted.
[3] WHEREFORE, defendant respectfully prays that the Order of Default against her be LIFTED
and that this Honorable Court resolve her Motion to Dismiss.

[1] 1. Plaintiff is a Filipino citizen of legal age and resident of Quezon City; defendant is the City
Council of Quezon City, the duly-constituted legislative body for Quezon City, its members may be served
with notices at Quezon City Hall.
[2] 2. On 1 August 1999, defendant City Council passed Ordinance No. 2345 making it unlawful
to operate cellular phone units while inside a moving vehicle and penalizing any violations with a fine of
P1,000.00 for each offense in addition to impounding of the cellular phone unit. The relevant portions of
the Ordinance are, as follows:
(Quote the relevant portions)
3. The above-quoted portion is ambiguous because it leaves unfettered discretion to the

authorities to stop even urgent and important calls which may be made only while the person is in
transit. It fails to consider that, due to the worsening traffic conditions in Metro Manila, majority of
business is conducted in transit and over cellular phones. Plaintiff is a lawyer who frequently has to
dictate important pleadings over the phone while in transit due to the worsening traffic condition. The
Ordinance appears to bar his doing so but plaintiff is unaware of the limits of permissible action under the
Ordinance.
4. Unless declaratory relief is granted, plaintiff will suffer grave and irreparable injury because he
is unsure of the instances when he may lawfully use his cellular phone while in a moving vehicle and
when such use may lead to confiscation and a fine.

COMPLAINT-AFFIDAVIT
[1] I, MA SELAN, of legal age, Filipino, with assistance of counsel, and [2] resident of 4 Privet
Drive, Triple X Village, Makati, do hereby state under oath that:
1. I am a member of the Triple X Village Homeowner’s Association (“Association”) and was

formerly a Director and Corporate Secretary of the Association.
[3] 2. I accuse and hereby charge MR. MA INGAY, residing at 5 Privet Drive, Triple X Village,
Makati, of violating Article 358 of the Revised Penal Code (Slander and Oral Defamation), committed
against me when he publicly, maliciously and deliberately uttered defamatory remarks against me during
the Board Meeting of the Association on 27 January 2007. This is attested to by the following exchange
that transpired between Mr. Ingay and the other members of the Board in attendance:
(Quote Exchange)
Attached as ANNEX A is a copy of the official transcript of the meeting.
3. Prior resort to the Barangay conciliation system proved fruitless as Mr. Ingay did not retract
his remarks. Consequently, a “Certification to File Action” was issued by the Barangay Chairperson, a
copy of which is attached as ANNEX B.
4. There is no other person named “Ma Selan” residing at Triple X Village nor is there any other
person named “Ma Selan” who has acted as Board Member of the Association. Consequently, Mr. Ingay’s
public and defamatory utterance was clearly a reference to me and to no other.
5. Mr. Ma Ingay’s remarks, calling me a swindler twice over, uttered in a public meeting are
clearly insulting and defamatory as they malign me and attribute to me a criminal act, nature and
predisposition. There is, moreover, no doubt that Mr. Ingay’s use of the word “swindled” was deliberate
as his explanation and clarification a few utterances thereafter would show. Mr. Ingay’s remarks are also
very serious as they cast aspersions on my reputation, character and very person before my peers and
fellow homeowners.
6. Mr. Ingay’s remarks have injured my name, reputation and character before my neighbors
and peers. While my name, reputation and character are incapable of pecuniary estimation as these are
the result of a lifetime’s effort to build a name, reputation and character that my children and their
children can be proud to bear, Mr. Ingay cannot be allowed to simply go scot-free without bearing the
consequences of his acts. For this reason, I am also holding Mr. Ma Ingay liable civilly for
defaming me in the amount of One Million Pesos (P1,000,000.00) in nominal damages, Five
Hundred Thousand Pesos (P500,000.00) in moral damages and Five Hundred Thousand
Pesos (P500,000.00) in exemplary damages.

City of Makati ) s.s.
COUNTER-AFFIDAVIT
Re: I.S. No. 1613
[1] I, MA LABO, of legal age, with assistance of counsel, do hereby state under oath that:
1. I am the Chief of Staff of the Mayor of Quezon City, and have been occupying said post since
his election to the post in 1998. In said capacity, I am in charge of coordinating the day-to-day affairs
and activities of his Office.
[2] 2. I recently learned that I have been made a respondent in I.S. No. 1613, a charge for
estafa, filed by a certain MA GULANG on 19 January 2007 before the Office of the City Prosecutor for
Quezon City.
3. The charge is based on a supposedly unpaid account for the purchase of seven (7) Nextel
phone units by a Mr. MANGGA GANTSO of the Quezon City Rescue and Environmental Distress Unit,
which made the Mayor their Honorary Chairman with no direct functions; he has been supporting their
activities financially with voluntary contributions.
[3] 4. There is no truth to the allegations in MA GULANG’s complaint. There is no factual nor
legal basis to charge me with estafa. The Complaint must be dismissed. To rebut and contradict MA
GULANG’s malicious lies, I set forth the true circumstances leading to the transaction below:
4.1. Sometime last year, Ms. Gulang called the office of the Mayor, looking for
him; I informed her that he was not around. I took a message from her saying that she
was a friend of the Mayor and that she was selling Nextel units and if we wanted to buy
units from her. I informed her that both the Mayor and I had our units already; she then
told me if the Mayor could refer her to prospective clients. When the Mayor arrived, I
relayed the message to him.
4.2. Quite coincidentally, Mr. Gantso had called the Mayor asking if he could
assist in securing Nextel units. The Mayor asked me to call Ms. Gulang. Mr. Gantso and
Ms. Gulang were able to meet, as a result.
4.3. On that day, Ms. Gulang brought the units to the Mayor’s Office; she met
with Mr. Gantso inside the Mayor’s office. They transacted business inside the Mayor’s
Office and only passed by my office on their way out.
4.4. Some time after that, Ms. Gulang phoned me and told me that Mr. Gantso
had not paid her the amount of P11,000.00 for the units. Somewhat embarrassed by
this, I called Mr. Gantso and told him to pay Ms. Gulang; he assured me that he would
pay her but that he just needed to collect money from the rest of the group.
4.5. After persistent calls from Ms. Gulang telling me that Mr. Gantso had not
yet paid, I gave her the telephone number of Gantso so that she could just call him
directly. But even then, I would still get calls from Ms. Gulang; and when she started to
get angry over the telephone, I set up an appointment for Mr. Gantso to meet with her
at the Office.
4.6. Thereafter, I would still receive phone calls telling me that Mr. Gantso had
yet to pay; I would follow up with Mr. Gantso but he simply gave me this promise that he
would pay.
5. It is utterly inexplicable that Ms. Gulang would hold me liable for estafa when all that I did
was to refer Ms. Gulang to Mr. Gantso; to a certain extent, I even exerted my best efforts to see that Ms.
Gulang was paid due simply to my great embarrassment at the prospect of being accused of referring a
person who does not know how to pay for an obligation.
6. For this reason, it is certainly incomprehensible that I should stand accused of estafa by Ms.
Gulang. I performed no act of deceit or fraud against her in ordering the units. I performed
NO ACT that even remotely resembles ANY of the acts punished under Article 315. If at all,
any cause of action is PURELY CIVIL in nature and that liability does not pertain to my personal account
in the absence of a showing that I benefited from the Nextel units (which Ms. Gulang does not even
allege and cannot prove); any civil liability should pertain to the Office of the Mayor, not to me.
31
7. Considering the foregoing, I respectfully submit that there is no prima facie basis to conclude
that the crime of Estafa or that any crime at all has been committed. The Complaint against me should,
thus, be dismissed.
TO THE TRUTH OF THE FOREGOING, I have signed this Statement on 3 February 2007.

x ------------------------------------------ x
MOTION TO QUASH
[2] THE ACCUSED, by counsel, respectfully moves to quash the Information for the crime of
theft on the following:
[3] GROUNDS
1. IT CONTAINS AVERMENTS WHICH, IF TRUE, WOULD CONSTITUTE A LEGAL

JUSTIFICATION;
2. THIS COURT IS WITHOUT JURISDICTION.
In support, the accused respectfully states that:
ARGUMENT
The Information alleges that the accused KLEPTO MANIAC is eleven (11) years old and without
any known address. Under Article 12, paragraph 3 of the Revised Penal Code, a person over nine years of
age and under fifteen, unless he acted with discernment, is exempt from criminal liability.
There is no allegation that the accused acted with discernment. Even granting said discernment,
the accused cannot be tried but instead proceeded against under Article 80 of the Revised Penal Code,
which provides that a minor, unless sixteen years of age at the time of the commission of a grave or less
grave felony, cannot be tried but instead shall have the benefit of a suspension of all proceedings against
him. The duty of the court would be to commit the minor to the custody or care of a public or private
benevolent or charitable institution for the care and education of homeless and delinquent children or to
the custody of the Department of Social Work and Development.

MOTION TO QUASH SEARCH WARRANT
The ACCUSED, by counsel, respectfully moves for the quashal of Search Warrant No. 1122 issued
by this Honorable Court on and dated 12 July 2006 based on the following considerations:
[2] 1. Rule 126, Sec. 10 or the Revised Rules of Court provides expressly that a search warrant
shall be valid for ten (10) days from its date and that thereafter, it shall be void.
2. Search Warrant No. 1122 is dated 12 July 2006. It was served on the accused on 23 July
2006, the 11th day from its date; this is certified to by the Sworn Inventory and Return executed by Major
Alang Alam, the leader of the searching team (a copy of which is already part of the records). A search
was made on the same day, 23 July 2006; pursuant to said search, certain objects were seized and
delivered to the court. Under the law, the Search Warrant is void and must, thus, be quashed.
[3] WHEREFORE, it is respectfully prayed that Search Warrant No. 1122 be QUASHED and all
objects seized under its purported authority be declared INADMISSIBLE under the exclusionary rule in
Article III, Section 3(2) in relation to section 2 of the 1987 Constitution.

MOTION TO SUPPRESS EVIDENCE UNLAWFULLY SEIZED
The ACCUSED, by counsel, respectfully moves for the suppression of objects seized on 23 July
2006, pursuant to Search Warrant No. 1122 issued by this Honorable Court dated 12 July 2006, based on
the following considerations:
[2] 1. Search Warrant No. 1122 was served on the 11th day and is, thus, void.
2. The motor vehicle seized does not fall within the property that may lawfully be seized.
Discussion
[1] Search Warrant No. 1122 was
served on the 11th day and is, thus,
void.
1. Rule 126, Sec. 10 of the Revised Rules of Court provides expressly that a search warrant shall
be valid for ten (10) days from its date and that thereafter, it shall be void.
2. Search Warrant No. 1122 is dated 12 July 2006. It was served on the accused on 23 July
2006, the 11th day from its date; this is certified to by the Sworn Inventory and Return executed by Major
Alang Alam, the leader of the searching team (a copy of which is already part of the records). A search
was made on the same day, 23 July 2006; pursuant to said search, certain objects were seized and
delivered to the court. Under the law, the Search Warrant is void.
3. No valid seizure may be made under a void warrant. For this reason, the following objects
must be suppressed:
[list items]
[2] The motor vehicle seized does

not fall within the property that
may lawfully be seized.
4. On the occasion of the search, the searching party also “seized” accused’s green Jaguar XJE
with license plate, “No. 1", allegedly for being subject of the offense. Thereafter, it was impounded and
kept at the PNP Motor Pool.
5. The motor vehicle cannot be subject of the offense as accused is charged with libel. There is
no relation between the motor vehicle and libel.
6. Moreover, the motor vehicle is not mala prohibita that would justify a seizure thereof; neither
could there be a seizure of evidence in plain view.
[3] WHEREFORE, it is respectfully prayed that all objects seized under the void Search Warrant
No. 1122 be declared INADMISSIBLE under the exclusionary rule in Article III, section 3(2) in relation to
Section 2 of the 1987 Constitution. Furthermore, it is prayed that the Green Jaguar XJE with license plate
“No. 1" be immediately returned to the accused.

x ------------------------------------------ x
MOTION FOR BAIL
[2] THE ACCUSED, by counsel, respectfully moves to be allowed bail on the ground that the [3]
prosecution’s evidence of his guilt is not strong. In support, he respectfully submits the following:
1. The Information alleges that he raped the private complainant on 25 December 2005 at his
residence in Quezon City. The prosecution’s own evidence, however, belies this allegation as: (a) the
medical certificate (attached as ANNEX A to the Information) states that private complainant is in a virgin
state with no physical and outward signs of trauma; (b) the medical certificate issued by the NBI doctor
(attached as ANNEX B to the Information) after a physical examination of the accused, two (2) days after
the alleged rape, shows that he is suffering from erectile dysfunction and has been so afflicted for close
to five (5) years now and (c) the sworn statements of the private complainant conflict with and contradict
each other such that her credibility must be placed in doubt.
2. For these reasons, there is no basis to conclude that the accused raped the private
complainant as there is less than circumstantial evidence of this fact. He is, thus, entitled to bail as a
matter of right.
WHEREFORE, it is respectfully prayed that the accused be granted: (1) a bail hearing, during
which the prosecution should be directed to present its evidence to show the strength of its evidence of
the accused’s guilt, and (2) thereafter, grant the accused reasonable bail.

APPLICATION FOR PROBATION
THE ACCUSED, by counsel, respectfully applies for probation pursuant to the provisions of
Presidential Decree No. 968, as amended.
In support of this application, the accused respectfully submits the following:
1. Accused-applicant is of legal age and currently gainfully employed at ASN Broadcasting

Corporation located at Timog Avenue, Quezon City. On 23 February 2007, she pleaded “guilty” to the
offense charged herein; consequently, this Honorable Court in its Order dated 8 March 2007 sentenced
accused-applicant to an indeterminate penalty ranging from three (3) years to five (5) years of prision
correccional.
[2] 2. Accused-applicant humbly submits that she possesses all the qualifications and none of
the disqualifications enumerated under section 2 of Presidential Decree No. 968, specifically:
2.1. She has not been convicted of any crime against national security or public
order;
2.2. She has not been previously convicted by final judgment of an offense
punishable by imprisonment of not less than one (1) month and one (1) day and/or a
fine of not less than Two Hundred Pesos (P200.00);
2.3. She has not previously applied for nor had been previously placed under
probation under Presidential Decree No. 968.
2.4. She has not started to serve her sentence and, to date, has not filed any
Notice of Appeal from the Order of conviction.
3 Finally, granting this application will not in any way depreciate the seriousness of the offense
charged nor cause any undue risk that during the period of probation, accused-applicant will commit
another crime. Moreover, accused-applicant does not need any correctional treatment requiring
commitment to an institution.
[3] WHEREFORE, accused-applicant respectfully prays that her application for probation be
GRANTED and that she be placed under probation under such terms and conditions necessary to attain
and ensure the objectives of the law and which, under the circumstances, are fair, just and reasonable in
the sound discretion of this Honorable Court.

THE PROSECUTION, by the undersigned public and private prosecutors, respectfully offer their
documentary exhibits in support of their case-in-chief:
1. Exhibit A, the sworn statement of ‘Alang Kaso, the private complainant, and Exhibit A-1, his
signature–to prove that on the date and time stated in the affidavit, the accused issued a post-dated
check in the amount of One Million Pesos (P1,000,000.00) which, on presentment for payment, was
dishonored for lack of insufficient funds; to prove authorship and the authenticity of the sworn
statement; and as part of the testimony of the private complainant.

COMMENT ON THE PROSECUTION’S

FORMAL OFFER OF EVIDENCE
THE ACCUSED, by counsel, respectfully oppose the Prosecution’s Offer of Evidence for the
following reasons:
1. Exhibit A, the sworn statement of ‘Alang Kaso, the private complainant, and Exhibit A-1, his
signature are INADMISSIBLE because the private complainant was never presented to authenticate the
document or subjected to cross-examination, thus, the document is hearsay and inadmissible.
2. Exhibit B, the post-dated check dated 30 June 2004, issued by the accused in the amount of
One Million Pesos (P1,000,000.00); Exhibit B-1, the dorsal side of the check with notation “DAIF”; Exhibit
B-2, the signature of accused on face of the check are INADMISSIBLE for violation of the Best Evidence
Rule as the original check was never presented; and no basis for the presentation of secondary evidence
laid.
ACCORDINGLY, the ACCUSED respectfully submits that the Prosecution’s Exhibits are
INADMISSIBLE and must, thus, be EXCLUDED.

x ---------------------------------------- x
DEMURRER TO THE PROSECUTION’S EVIDENCE
THE ACCUSED, by counsel, with leave of court previously obtained, respectfully submits this
Demurrer to the Prosecution’s Evidence on the ground that the prosecution has failed to adduce sufficient
evidence of his guilt to overcome the presumption of innocence and shift the burden of proof:
1. Under the Constitution, the accused is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty. The effect
of this presumption is that it entitles the accused to not say anything in his defense and places the
burden directly on the prosecution to prove everything relative to his guilt. Thus, the prosecution must
rely on the strength of its evidence and not wait for the accused to offer any defense. It is only in the
event that the prosecution, after resting its case, has adduced sufficient evidence of guilt that the burden
of proof shifts to the accused.
2. The prosecution has failed to adduce sufficient evidence of guilt such as would shift the
burden of proof.
2.1. The accused is charged with violation of PD 1866; the gravamen of the
offense is unauthorized possession of a firearm. Concretely, this means that the
prosecution must prove that the accused had no legal authority to possess any firearm.
2.2. The prosecution has failed to show that the accused had no license to carry
a firearm. The proof of the negative element is indispensable to proof of a violation of PD
1866. Without proof of this negative element, the crime is not proven.
3. Absent proof of the negative element, i.e., absence of a license, the offense is not proven.
The accused is innocent; he must, thus, be acquitted.
WHEREFORE, the accused respectfully prays that the Information against him be DISMISSED and
that he be ACQUITTED of the crime charged.

1. This action seeks to collect a sum of money arising from a contract.
2. Plaintiff, after resting his case, has failed to: (a) prove the authenticity of the contract, (b) the
extent of the obligation under the contract, (c) the demandability of the obligation under the contract and
(d) defendant’s liability for the obligation and damages.
3. Consequently, plaintiff has failed to prove his claims by a preponderance of evidence and

x ------------------------------------------ x
PETITION
1. Petitioner is the mother of the minors Luke and Leia Skywalker, who were born out of the
valid marriage between petitioner and respondent Anakin Skywalker.
2. The marriage failed and petitioner has been living separately from respondent since 2004.
Sometime in February 2007, respondent, unknown to petitioner, abducted the minor children and has
kept them incommunicado and out of petitioner’s reach.
3. Being below seven (7) years of age, custody of the minors is naturally presumed to belong to
petitioner, as their mother. Consequently, respondent’s refusal to allow petitioner to regain custody over
the minors is unlawful and unjustified.
WHEREFORE, petitioner respectfully prays that a writ of habeas corpus issue directing
respondent to make a return showing his legal authority to detain the minor children, subject of this
petition, and thereafter, present the minor children personally before the Court on a date and time it
chooses.

C. Petition for Declaration of Nullity of Marriage with Application for Provisional
Orders
[Caption and Title]
1. Petitioner is a Filipino citizen, of legal age and married to respondent. For purposes of this
petition, she may be served with notices and other pertinent processes through counsel at [address of
counsel].
2. Respondent is a Filipino citizen, of legal age, currently employed at [state employer] and
married to petitioner. He may be served with summons and other pertinent orders and processes of this
Court at [state address]
3. Petitioner and respondent were married on [date] and out of this marriage, they have [state
number of children, respective ages]. A copy of the Marriage Contract executed by petitioner and
respondent is attached as ANNEX A; a copy each of the birth certificates of the minor children is
attached as ANNEX B, C and D, respectively.
4. Petitioner and respondent are currently separated in fact and have been so since May 2001.
The reason for the continuing separation in fact is the breakdown of the marriage due to both petitioner’s
and respondent’s mutual psychological incapacity to fulfill and discharge their respective marital
obligations to each other, which existed at the time of the marriage in 1998 but manifested itself well into
the marriage
5. The mutual psychological incapacity of the parties to remain married to each other appears
to be incurable; prior to this resort, the parties had attempted formal and informal counseling sessions all
of which proved unproductive as respondent proved resistant and, at times, even hostile to these efforts.
6. In compliance with jurisdictional requirements, petitioner submitted herself to a psychological

and clinical assessment by a trained professional, Clinical Psychologist [state name]. Despite several
attempts, respondent refuses to agree to any sober and productive discussion with petitioner and is
always highly emotional and angry, it was, thus, impracticable to secure a psychological report and
profile of respondent; should this become material, petitioner reserves the right to request respondent to
submit to a psychological examination for purposes of confirming the mutual psychological incapacity to
remain married to each other.
7. Petitioner’s psychological incapacity is described in clinical terms as being consistent with a

V61.1 Partner Relational Problem and is said to have “Masochistic Personality Disorder” or “301.9
Personality Disorder Not Otherwise Specified”; on the other hand, the assessment given by the
psychologist of respondent’s psychological make-up is that he has a “301.20 Schizoid Personality Disorder
with narcissistic features” which is described as “grave, incurable and has antecedents.” The
psychological make-up of petitioner and respondent is explained in greater detail in the Clinical
Assessment Report (“Report”) dated 28 December 2006, a copy of which is attached as ANNEX E.
8. Their minor children are in petitioner’s custody and are being supported by her financially
and emotionally.
9. Petitioner submits that, despite the parties’ mutual psychological incapacity to remain married
to each other, the interests of the children are best served by having them remain in her custody, with
visitation rights extended to respondent. All of the children are minors and, under the law, children under
seven (7) years of age shall not be separated from the mother, save for exceptional circumstances which
do not exist in this case.
10. Petitioner cannot, however, provide for all the financial needs of the children as she is only
earning a limited amount of money from her work whereas respondent is gainfully employed and earns
more than enough for his own personal needs. Petitioner earns only (state amount) from her work as
shown by her payslip attached as ANNEX F whereas respondent earns (state amount) from his work as
shown by his payslip attached as ANNEX G. The common property of petitioner and respondent is
insufficient for the support of the children. Respondent must, thus, be directed to give support to his
children in the amount of (state amount).
WHEREFORE, petitioner respectfully prays that PROVISIONAL ORDERS for child custody and child
support be issued giving to petitioner custody pendente lite over their minor children and directing
respondent to give monthly support in the amount of (state amount), subject to any adjustments that
may be made based on changing earning capacity as well as needs.
52
Petitioner also prays that, after trial, judgment be rendered in her favor by declaring petitioner to
be psychologically incapacitated to comply with the essential obligations of her marriage to respondent,
thus --
[1] Declaring the marriage between petitioner and respondent a nullity and, by this
token, ordering the dissolution of the conjugal partnership of gains; and
[2] Awarding permanent custody of the children to petitioner, with express

acknowledgement of respondent’s visitation rights;
[3] Awarding support in the amount of (state amount) subject to adjustments to be

made depending on changes in earning capacity and needs of the children.
All other just and equitable reliefs are also prayed for.
