COMPLAINT
13.
Defendant flew out of Bacolod City at around 3:45 P.M
of May 19, 2014 and never returned.
14.
Plaintiff desperately tried to communicate with
defendant but to no avail. Plaintiff finally asked the help of
local police to inquire about the whereabouts of the
defendant and learned that he was already married with one
child to a certain Katrina Padilla. See attached marriage
certificate herein referred as Annex G.
15.
As a result of the negligent act of defendant Aurelio
Lara, the wedding never took place and plaintiff suffered
actual damages in the amount of ONE HUNDRED SEVENTYONE THOUSAND PESOS (Php 171,000.00).
16.
Moreover, due to defendants false pretenses and
deceit, plaintiff suffered mental anguish, besmirched
reputation and serious anxiety.
17.
Consequently, Plaintiff was constrained to engage the

Attorney's Fees the amount equivalent to TWENTY FIVE
PERCENT (25%) of the total amount to be adjudged in favor
of plaintiffs, and the costs of this suit.
