THE COMMISSIONER
BUREAU OF IMMIGRATION AND DEPORTATION
Intramuros, Manila,
Philippines
RE:

PETITION FOR CANCELLATION OF VISA OF

MR. SEBASTIAN KUZHUPPILY (a citizen of India)

Sir/Madam:
The undersigned, MAGDALENA A. KUZHUPPILY, is the wife of SEBASTIAN
KUZHUPPILY, an Indian citizen who first entered the Philippines in June 1981 holding a
student visa. We got married on September 9, 1984 and that in July 1985 he was issued a
residence visa even without leaving the Philippines.
Since I was not aware of the immigration laws then, I thought his long and continuous period of
stay in the Philippines did not matter. In fact, he has never mentioned to me the status of his
residency in the country and that I did not even know any of his relatives particularly his brother
which he claimed to be the owner of the condominium unit he has been offering for lease for his
own income.
In 2002, as I found him not responsible enough to do his obligation as the head of the family and
because of our frequent arguments, I filed a complaint with the Bureau of Immigration, Manila
for the cancellation of his visa. However, I did not pursue the complaint for the sake of our
children as they did not want their parents to be separated. But despite this consideration, my
said husband continued to be an irresponsible father as he has not been giving any financial
support to our four (4) minor children who are all studying. As a matter of fact, I left the
Philippines last December 3, 2003 to work as Domestic Helper in Dubai in order to provide for
the needs and education of our kids. His letter addressed to me dated December 16, 2003 could
strongly attest of his incapacity as a head of the family as he mentioned in this letter all the
responsibilities that a father and/or head of the family are supposed to do, which he all obliged
me to perform as his wife. A photocopy of such letter is enclosed herein as Exhibit A and
made integral part hereof.
He even filed a complaint with the DFA while I was in Dubai last August 4, 2004 asking for a
regular financial support from me, thus, the Philippine Embassy in U.A.E. sent me a letter
concerning this complaint. As a reply, I showed to the Embassy all the receipts of remittances
that I have been regularly sending to our eldest daughter Christine as proof that I have not
neglected my responsibilities to our children. A photocopy of the receipts of my remittances is
attached herein as Exhibit B.

I returned to the Philippines last April 23, 2006 and on May 14, 2006 I talked to my said husband
and told him to give support to our children. But he said to me that I have to remit to him my
money that I have earned in Dubai. According to him, what I have earned is a conjugal property
because we are legally married, but sad to say, he has never entrusted his earnings to me since we
got married as he has been the one managing his finances. He even kept it a secret and never
declared that he owned that condominium unit located at 1836 Leveriza St., Pasay City as he is
escaping the obligation of tax payments and that he does not want me to claim my rights over
this property. But this false declaration was disclosed when I was able to secure a copy of that
Certificate of Ownership duly issued by Asiawealth Properties, Inc. certifying that he is the
actual owner of the said property. A photocopy of which is attached herein as Exhibit C.
Being the wife, it is not proper for my husband SEBASTIAN to oblige me of supporting him and
our children as it is his supposed obligation that he has to shoulder, being the head of the family.
I have given so much consideration to him for a long period of time but all proved in vain as he
has never been a good husband and responsible father to our four children.
As far as his stay in the Philippines is concern, he has continually stayed in the country since
1981 up to the present. I happened to see a photocopy of his Immigrant Certificate of Residence
and there I discovered that he was issued a visa from 9 (a) to Sec. 13(g), which upon my inquiry
to the immigration bureau, is not applicable to him as this change to Sec. 13(g) is only applicable
to Balikbayans (Filipinos who stayed abroad and get back to the Philippines). How come he
was able to be issued this kind of visa?
In view of the foregoing circumstances, it is being prayed for that proper investigation be made
by the Philippine Immigration as to the actual status of residency in the Philippines of MR.
SEBASTIAN KUZHUPPILY and thereby immediate cancellation of his residence visa be
done should he be found unlawfully staying in the Philippines.
Trusting for the immediate action of this office on the above-stated matter.
Thank you.
Very respectfully yours,

MAGDALENA ANOTA KHUZHUPILLY
