7. Q: How did your relationship start?

A: After casual meeting, he asked for my celphone number and

started texting me everyday.

8. Q: After that, what happened?

A: We became sweethearts Atty. He asked me to quit my job and

offered to support me if I will live with him. He even promised
Page 3 of 11
 to buy a house and lot for us if I will agree to such
arrangement.

9. Q: What was your response to his offer?

A: I told him that I do not want a live-in relationship. I also told

him that I will only live with him unless he marries me.

10 Q: What happened after that?

A: We tied the knot on June 20, 2016.

11 Q: How would you describe your marriage with the

respondent?

A: At the early stage, it was all good. He showered me love and

care. He bought a house in Corinthian Gardens and it became
our conjugal home.

12 Q: What do you mean by “at early age it was all good”?

A: At first, he was a loving husband until suddenly he became

extremely jealous without justifiable reason and locked me in
our home whenever he leaves for work.

13 Q: What else had happened?

A: He did not allow me to leave the house without his permission.

Page 4 of 11
14. Q: What happened after, if any?

A: He started going home late. I tried to look for him but he was
not there for me during the most difficult time of our marriage.

15 Q: Did you seek any help from your family and friends?

A: Yes Atty. I asked my mother to live with us in our conjugal

home so I can have someone to talk to and help me to cope up
with my situation and resolve my problems.

16 Q: What happened afterwards?

A: I followed my mother’s advice to become patient with my

husband. I hoped and prayed that my husband would change.

17 Q: How many years have you been married?

A: We’ve been married for three years, Atty.

18 Q: Do you have children with the respondent?

A: None, Atty.

19 Q: Can you narrate to this court, how did your marriage

problems become worst?

A: I have learned from friends that my husband was dating other

women and flaunted them in public places. It caused me so
Page 5 of 11
 much pain and humiliation.

20 Q: Did you confront your husband about his illicit affairs?

A: Yes Atty. Upon knowing such fact, whenever he arrives at our

home, I tried confronting him about his affairs with other
women which often results to several heated arguments.

21 Q: What happened after that?

A: Every time I confronted him about his womanizing and lack of

affection towards me he verbally abused me and threatened to
throw me out of our conjugal home if I did not stop
complaining.

22 Q: Did he physically hurt you?

A: Yes Atty.

23 Q: When did this happen?

A: On or about the month of October 2016, our argument became

more intense. He slapped me and kicked me hard that I fell on
the floor. While I was lying on the floor and agonizing with
pain, he drew a gun and pointed it to me. He angrily shouted
that: “Pag hindi mo ako tinigilan ng kakadakdak mo, papatayin
kita!” (Copies of Brgy. Blotter and Medical Certificate are in
Exhibits “B” and “C” )

Page 6 of 11
24 Q: What did you do after that incident?

A: I went to the Barangay and reported it. I also had myself

examined at Medical City to seek medical attention for my
bruises and contusions.

But despite the emotional trauma and physical abuse, I decided

to stay in our conjugal home and held on to our marriage.
Unfortunately, my husband avoided any sexual intimacy and
showed no remorse of what he did to me.

25 Q: What made you decide to stay despite the maltreatment

and cruelty of the respondent?

A: Because I was jobless and financially helpless. I am wholly

dependent on my husband.

26 Q: Why are you now filing a petition for Legal Separation?

A: Because I cannot tolerate anymore this kind of humiliation and

blatant disregard of our marital vows and obligations. Based on
his acts towards me, he had totally abandoned me. At this time,
he never bothered to return to our conjugal home. As a
consequence, I decided to leave our conjugal home because I
felt so humiliated and hurt.

27 Q: Can you tell this court what exactly did you mean?

A: I discovered through Wilson Castro, my husband’s personal

driver that my husband was living with a woman named “Julia”
where he bought a brand new house in Paranaque. I also
Page 7 of 11
 learned from my mother-in-law that my husband contracted
another marriage with her other woman Julia Baretto on
September 23, 2016. What’s worse, they are now living in our
conjugal home in Corinthians Garden where he introduced her
to the Homeowners’ Association as his new wife.

(their marriage certificate is attached as Exhibit D)

28 Q: I have no other further any questions, do you have anything

to modify or retract, Ms. Witness?

A: None. Atty

29 Q: Are you willing to sign this judicial affidavit?

A: Yes, Atty.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 18th

day of September 2019 at Manila City.
