PERSONS We, FLORENCIO LOREJAS DUMALAG, Filipino, of legal age, married and a resident of No. 18-T Dumalay Street Brgy. Sta Monica, Novaliches, Quezon City and ROBERTO TULIAO ROSARIO, Filipino, of legal age, married and a resident of No. 12, Dona Rosario, Buenamar, Novaliches, Quezon City, after having been duly sworn to in accordance with law, hereby depose and state, that: 1. We personally know the deceased ERIBERTO UNDAY MAARAT, a member of the Social Security System with SSS No. 032620236-2, who was born on March 16, 1949 in the City of Baybay, Leyte. We personally know the late ERIBERTO UNDAY MAARAT, because we have been friends and neighbors for a long period of time. 2. In the Certificate of Live Birth and Certificate of Baptismal of the late ERIBERTO UNDAY MAARAT, the names BALBINO MAARAT and APOLONIA UNDAY are indicated as the names of the father and the mother. However, since ERIBERTO UNDAY MAARAT was a young child, he used to call his mother by the nickname FLORA until he grew up. The copies of the mentioned Certificates are herein attached as ANNEX A and ANNEX B, respectively. 3. Said ERIBERTO UNDAY MAARAT got married to GLORIA ORAO-MAARAT on January 10, 1974 at Baybay, Leyte. In accordance with the said marriage, a Marriage Contract was issued by the Office of the Local Civil Registrar. However, in the said Marriage Contract, the name ALBINO MAARAT was indicated as the name of the father, and FLORA UNDAY as name of the mother. The discrepancy in the name of the Father, whose true and real name is BALBINO, was due to the clerical error of the Office of the Local Civil Registrar of Baybay, Leyte. As to the discrepancy in the name of the Mother, whose true and real name is APOLONIA, the reason is that ERIBERTO UNDAY MAARAT used to call his mother by the nickname FLORA. A
copy of the said Marriage Contract is herein attached as ANNEX
C. 4. When ERIBERTO UNDAY MAARAT filed his application with the Social Security System, he indicated therein BALBINO MAARAT as the name of the Father, and FLORA UNDAY as the name of the Mother. His failure to indicate the true and correct name of his mother was made in good faith and without intent to provide false information, as he only thought that it was not necessary anymore to declare his mothers real name, since most people would only call his mother by the nickname FLORA. 5. As their close friends and neighbors, we are competent to attest to the fact that the names, ALBINO MAARAT (as per his Marriage Contract), and BALBINO MAARAT (as per his Certificate of Live Birth and Baptismal Certificate), refer to one and the same person, the latter being his complete and real name. We can further attest to the fact that the names FLORA UNDAY (as per his SSS E-1 Form and Marriage Contract) and APOLONIA UNDAY (as per his Certificate of Live Birth and Baptismal Certificate), refer to one and the same person, the latter being her complete and real name. That we are executing the foregoing Joint Affidavit in order to attest to the truth that the names, ALBINO MAARAT and BALBINO MAARAT refer to one and the same person, the latter being his true and correct name, and the names FLORA UNDAY and APOLONIA UNDAY refer also to one and the same person, the latter being her true and correct name per Certificate of Live Birth and Baptismal Certificate, in support of application for Death Benefit Claims with the SSS and for whatever legal purpose this may serve. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have hereunto affixed our signatures this 10th day of July 2016 in Quezon City
