    AFFIDAVIT OF MERIT

    I, Pedro Y. Juan, of legal age, married, Filipino and resident of Manila City , after

    being duly sworn to in accordance with law, hereby depose and state that:

    1. I am the Petitioner in the case entitled PEDRO Y. JUAN versus DARCY E. WAN FOR

    COLLECTION OF SUM OF MONEY WITH DAMAGES docketed as Civil Case No.

    8809 and pending before the Regional Trial Court;

    2. I have caused the preparation of the Petition for Relief from Judgment to which

    this affidavit is attached;

    3. I have read the allegations contained therein and I hereby state that the same is true and

    correct of my personal knowledge and based on authentic records;

    4. I have received a copy of the resolution of the Regional Trial Court dismissing my petition

    for failure to prosecute for an unreasonable length of time;

    5. The reason for my failure to proceed with the steps necessary for my case was due to the

    fact that my counsel, Atty. Kikay A. Kiko was admitted in the National Kidney Institute for

    an emergency operation;

    6. The partners of my lawyer were not able to handle my case because of their

    individual work load and hectic schedule;


    7. The foregoing circumstance that led to the dismissal of my petition constitute

    mistake and/or excusable negligence which ordinary prudence could not have guarded

    against and by reason of which I have been impaired of my rights, especially because

    a judgment was rendered by the court without affording me the chance to present

    my evidence;

    8. I voluntarily execute this Affidavit of Merit to attest to the truth of the foregoing facts and

    in order to support the grounds in my Motion for Reconsideration as it really shows that

    the same is meritorious and in order that the Order or Judgment rendered against me be

    reconsidered and set aside and a new one be issued reinstating the instant case.

    Affiant adds nothing more at this time.
