This Judicial Affidavit is also being offered to prove all the related
matters, facts and circumstances relevant and material to this
case.

1. Q. Please state your name and other personal circumstances

for the record.
A. I am Lutgarda Pearl Joy A. Soriano, of legal age, Filipino,
single, and living at #3 Koppel Street, Filinvest 2, Batasan
Hills, Quezon City.

2. Q. Did you know the defendant Mocha Uson?

 A. Yes, Atty.
3. Q.How did you know her?
A. She is the lessee occupying the subject property I described
in Annex “A-1”.

4. Q. And where is this property located?

A. The said townhouse is located at #8 Pabibo street, Duterts
Subdivision, Batasan Hills, Quezon City with TCT No.
180087, duly registered in the Registry of Deeds of Quezon
City.

5. Q. When did this happen?

A. She occupied the subject property upon our execution of our
lease agreement.

6. Q. Do you have any evidence of this matter?

A. Yes, enclosed herein was our lease contract, marked as
Annex “A-2”.

7. Q. In that case, how did the defendant occupy the subject

property?
A. It was a three year period lease with an agreement to pay
P25,000 monthly rental every first day of the month. Defendant
Mocha Uson occupied the said property ever since February
18, 2016.

8. Q. What did you do after the defendant’s failure to voluntarily

vacate the occupied property upon the expiration of the agreed
period of lease?
A. I visited and informed the defendant that she and her family
must vacate the premise about the expiration of the lease
because my sister would be coming home abroad and I’m
planning to let her stay on the said property instead. Mocha
Uson agreed on this demand. But due to their failure to do so, I
decided to act on it by posting a Demand to Vacate on April 8,
2019, in conspicuous places within the leased premises as a
notice to the defendant and her family to vacate the said
property.

9. Q. What is your proof that you posted a notice to vacate on April

enclosed as Annex “A-3’.
10.Q. What was the action of the defendants after posting the
notice to vacate?
A. They still refused to vacate the property and denied to
contact me or whatsoever. Hence, I decided to take go to the
Barangay hoping to reach an agreement with her.

11.Q. What did you do exactly?

A. I brought it to the Barangay captain for Barangay Conciliation
but we still failed to settle our issues. I will be attaching the
Barangay conciliation certificate to show failure of an amicable
settlement. Then afterwards, I filed the present case.

12. Q. Do you have something more to say, to add, or to change

your answers in this affidavit?
A. No more, Maam.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this

th
25 day of August 2019.
