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 petitioners 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 petitioners 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 petitioners 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. Petitioners written explanation be deemed to have sufficiently addressed
her absence during the 19 April 2016 hearing; and
3. The erroneous entries in petitioners 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.
