MANIFESTATION/COMPLIANCE

PETITIONER, thru counsel and unto this Honorable Court, respectfully

states:
1. Petitioner, due to an honest mistake on her part about the settings of the
hearings in this case per the Order of 14 March 2016 of this Honorable Court, was
unable to attend the hearing set on 19 April 2016 since she reported to work on that
day.

2. The Honorable Presiding Judge Elisa R. Sarmiento-Flores then

required the submission of petitioner’s written explanation about her absence within
five (5) days reckoned from 19 April 2016, or until 24 April 2016. In respectful
compliance, attached herewith as Annex “A” is petitioner’s written explanation.
1
 3. In addition, petitioner wishes to invite the attention of this Honorable
Court to the typographical errors in her Judicial Affidavit, specifically referring to
the statements found in her answers to Questions Nos. 9 and 38 wherein it was stated
that the Certificate of Live Birth with Registry Number 8962240 was issued by the
“Civil Registry of Pasig City” when it should have stated instead that it was issued
by the “Civil Registry of Manila City.” On this matter, petitioner once more begs the
kind understanding of this Honorable Court for such inadvertences and prays that
such erroneous statements in petitioner’s Judicial Affidavit be corrected to reflect
thereon the true and actual Civil Registry that issued said Certificate of Live Birth.

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is respectfully prayed of this

Honorable Court that:

1. The instant Manifestation/Compliance be NOTED;

2. Petitioner’s written explanation be deemed to have sufficiently addressed

her absence during the 19 April 2016 hearing; and

3. The erroneous entries in petitioner’s answers to Questions Nos. 9 and 38

pertaining to the issuing authority of Certificate of Live Birth with Registry
Number 8962240 be corrected from “Civil Registry of Pasig City” to
“Civil Registry of Manila City.”

Other reliefs, just and equitable under the premises are likewise prayed for.

Other equitable reliefs are likewise prayed for.

Pasig City, 22 April 2016.
