Declaration of Nullity of Marriage
JUDICIAL AFFIDAVIT OF
MR. JORGE PATRICK A. YASAY
I, JORGE PATRICK A. YASAY, Filipino, 23 years of age, single, with office address at Salcedo
Village, Makati City, and living in Malate, Manila, after having been duly sworn to in
accordance with law, hereby depose and state that: I am the psychiatrist engaged by the plaintiff
in this case to conduct the Psychiatric Study and evaluation of the parties; In relation to the
above-entitled case, the counsel Atty. _____________ at his office located at
__________________ asked me questions which questions I answered while I was in my clinic,
fully conscious that I did so under oath and that I may face perjury and any other criminal
liability for false testimony;
The questions asked by Atty. _____________ and the answers I gave are as follows, to wit:
1. QUESTION (Q): Mister Witness, do you know the plaintiff in this case?
ANSWER (A): Yes sir.
2. Q: Why do you know him?
A: He came to my clinic sometime in May 2000 to request for a psychiatric evaluation on his
person and that of his spouse in relation to a case of Declaration of Nullity of Marriage that he
had filed.
3. Q: Did you conduct a psychiatric study of the parties in this case?
A: Yes sir.
4. Q: Now, could you please tell us the manner by which you conducted your study?
A: I did the standard procedure which was to do a detailed psychiatric history and mental status
examination by psychiatric interviews with the petitioner. I also subjected the petitioner to a
battery of psychological tests. Collateral informants were interviewed. The information gathered
was then studied and collated to make a written report.
5. Q: Who were the persons you interviewed?
A: I interviewed Ms. Helen Sanchez, older sister of the petitioner Sir.

6. Q: Were you able to interview the Defendant?

A: No Sir.
7. Q: Mister Witness, in connection with your study, what were your findings insofar as the
plaintiff is concerned?
A: I assess the petitioner to be suffering from a personality disorder classified as a Narcissistic
Personality Disorder Sir
8. Q: In terms that could be understood even by a layman, could you please elaborate on the
disorder of the plaintiff?
A: This disorder means that a person has a pattern of grandiosity, an extremely high need for
self-admiration and the lack of empathy. This is manifested by being interpersonally exploitive,
like for instance, expecting special treatment from his family and friends, as well as by being too
arrogant and too argumentative when people do not comply with his whims. He takes advantage
of others to achieve his own ends, he lacks empathy where he is unwilling to recognize or
identify with the feelings of his wife and he showed arrogant behaviors.
9. Q: This kind of disorder on the part of the plaintiff, is this chronic?
A: Yes.
10. Q: Is it pathological?
A: Yes sir.
11. Q: Does it boarder on a kind of neurosis or psychosis?
A: It is a neurotic disorder.
12. Q: Now Mister Witness, you are trying to tell us that this narcissistic personality disorder is
pathological and chronic. Did it gravely affect the marriage of the plaintiff?
A: Yes sir.
13. Q: Why do you say so?
A: It had adversely affected the marriage because the disorder rendered the petitioner.
14. Q: Mister Witness, with regard to the disorder of the Plaintiff, did this disorder exist even
before he entered into her marriage with the Respondent?
A: Yes sir.
15. Q: Is the disorder on the part of the Plaintiff clinically proven by your findings?
A: Yes sir.
16. Q: Is the same disorder grave and incurable?
A: Yes sir.
17. Q: How about the Defendant. Did you infer any findings as to her personality?
A: No sir.

18. Q: What then do you recommend as far as the marriage of the parties herein is concerned?
A: Considering that the husband suffers from personality disorder that is responsible for their
inability to fulfill his marital obligations, I respectfully recommend to the Honorable Court that
the petition for Declaration of Nullity of Marriage between the parties be granted, sir.
26. Q: Mister Witness, did you put your findings in writing?
A: Yes sir.
27. Q: if the said written report you mentioned will be shown to you, will you be able to identify
it?
A: Yes sir.
28. Q: I have here a document which purports to be a psychiatric evaluation report, dated
October 18, 20__, can you please kindly go over it and tell this Honorable court its relation to the
document you are referring to.
A: Sir, this is the same psychiatric evaluation report that I have made.
29. Q: Found on the last page of the same document is a signature above the typewritten name
Dr. Jorge Patrick A. Yasa, MD, whose signature is that?
A: It is my signature, sir.
30. Q: I have no further questions. Do you have anything to add or retract, Mister Witness?
A: None sir.
31. Q: Are you willing to sign your statement?
A: Yes Sir.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this ___th day of _____________ 20__
