the availability and willingness of the establishment to cater to a most joyous and
once in a lifetime event in the couple’s lives, willfully causing the plaintiffs to
believe that they can celebrate their wedding therein;

32. That without much explanation or offer of consolation of any kind, The Pakyaw
Hotel and Casino terminated its agreement with herein plaintiffs, leaving the
latter to endure further agony and stress in redoing their wedding preparations,
wasting herein plaintiffs’ precious time;

33. That as a result of said wanton disregard for the interests of the plaintiffs, The
Pakyaw Hotel and Casino caused actual damages to the plaintiffs;

34. That as a result of the willful and flagrant disregard of The Pakyaw Hotel and
Casino for its clients, plaintiffs suffered embarrassment and humiliation from
initially announcing that their wedding will be held in a first class hotel and
eventually celebrating the same in a lower class one, not at par with the plaintiffs’
status in life and not in accordance with the bride’s earnest wishes;

35. That as a result of The Pakyaw Hotel and Casino’s gross negligence and willful
and flagrant disregards for their clients, herein plaintiff Dionisia May-Weather
suffered sleepless nights, anxiety and social humiliation that her dream wedding
may not be celebrated in time, such mental anguish physically manifested in the
then pregnant bride-to-be’s delicate condition, prompting her to be hospitalized
for two days and required bed rest for seven more days;

36. That the willful, flagrant and malicious disregard of the defendant has worked as
an injustice to the rights of the plaintiffs;

37. That as a consequence, plaintiffs were compelled to institute the instant action
against the defendant. They were constrained to retain the services of counsel to
whom they paid an acceptance fee of Forty Thousand Pesos (Php40,000.00)
and bound themselves to pay the undersigned counsel an appearance fee of
One Thousand Five Hundred Pesos (Php1,500.00) per appearance;
 PRAYER

WHEREFORE, the forgoing premises considered, it is most respectfully

prayed that this Honorable Court render judgment ordering Defendant to pay

plaintiffs;

2. Php100,000.00 as moral damages

COMPLAINT- AFFIDAVIT

I, MANNY M. WEATHER, Filipino, of legal age, with office address at Rm. 69

Dionisia Bldg., Hen. Luna cor. Bonifacio Sts., Cogon District, Tagbilaran City, Bohol,
after having been duly sworn in accordance with law, do hereby depose and state that:

1. I am the present General Manager of PACMAN TRAILER LEASING CORP.,

said company being a domestic corporation engaged in the business of trailer
leasing and other allied services with principal office at Rm. 69 Dionisia Bldg.,
Hen. Luna cor. Bonifacio Sts., Cogon District, Tagbilaran City, Bohol,
hereinafter referred to as "PTLC" for brevity;

2. Along with my duties and responsibilities as such, is to represent the

company in the cases it files before any court/tribunal/judicial agency in order
to protect its interests, as manifested in the herein attached Secretary’s
Certificate and herein marked as Annex "A";

3. As mentioned above, PTLC is engaged in the business of trailer leasing and

other allied services, and among its clients is an establishment engaged in
trucking business, known as “PEOPLE’S CHAMP MARKETING" owned and
managed by MR. FLOYD M. PAKYAW & MS. JINKY P. PAKYAW;

4. Said business establishment has its known office address at #123 Jose Rizal
St., Dampas District, Tagbilaran City, Bohol as represented by its
Owners/Proprietors MR. FLOYD M. PAKYAW & MS. JINKY P. PAKYAW
with the same residence address at the aforementioned business address,
who are authorized to accept summons and legal processes in all legal
proceedings & all notices affecting the aforementioned establishment at its
aforementioned business address;

5. On various dates commencing from January 2014 up to March 2014, MR.

FLOYD M. PAKYAW & MS. JINKY P. PAKYAW, doing business under the
name of PEOPLE’S CHAMP MARKETING, engaged the services of PTLC in
furtherance of their business activity. In the course thereof, PEOPLE’S
CHAMP MARKETING has incurred several unpaid obligations to PTLC;

6. Commencing from January 2014, PEOPLE’S CHAMP MARKETING has

failed to pay their accounts regularly to PTLC which in turn made them
incurred a total obligation of ONE HUNDRED NINETY SIX THOUSAND
FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTEEN PESOS and EIGHTY FOUR CENTAVOS
(PHP196,418.84) as reflected in the herein attached Statement of Account as
of January 08, 2015, and marked as Annex “B”;
7. From that date onwards, PTLC found it hard to collect for payments from
PEOPLE’S CHAMP MARKETING in spite of several demand letters which
were sent to and received by them;

8. However, on October 27, 2014, MS. JINKY P. PAKYAW and/or PEOPLE’S

CHAMP MARKETING tendered to PTLC a post-dated EQUITABLE PCI
BANK CHECK dated October 27, 2014, with Serial No. 1234567, amounting
to TEN THOUSAND PESOS (PHP10,000.00), supposedly representing their
payment for their “Cash Bond”. Photocopy of the said check is hereto
attached and marked as Annex “C”;

9. Consequently, when negotiated/presented for payment to the drawee bank,

aforesaid check was returned unpaid by the Bank of the Philippine Islands
(BPI), U.N. Avenue Branch, with business address at United Nations
Avenue, Manila, on the specified date therein, for reason that it is “DRAWN
AGAINST INSUFFICIENT FUNDS”, as seen in the attached Annex “D”
hereof;

10. Proper notifications and demand were made and sent to MR. FLOYD M.
PAKYAW & MS. JINKY P. PAKYAW, the latter being the signatory of the
check, so that they or she could replace them with CASH and/or settle said
accountability with the reason of the return thereof. Copy of the latest demand
letter is hereto attached and marked as Annex “E” hereof;

11. In spite of the successive demand letter sent by our in-house counsel, MS.
JINKY P. PAKYAW and/or PEOPLE’S CHAMP MARKETING, failed and
refused, and continue to fail and refuse to redeem in cash the face amount of
the unfunded returned check. Filing of this case was even suspended for
almost several times already just to give them the ample time and opportunity
to settle their obligations in full, but the same served futile;

12. I am executing this affidavit to attest to the truth of the foregoing facts and for
the purpose of charging MS. JINKY P. PAKYAW as one of the
Owner/Proprietor of their business PEOPLE’S CHAMP MARKETING for
violation of the provisions of BATAS PAMBANSA BLG. 22.
