AFFIDAVIT OF LOSS

I, KATHRYN CHANDRIA MANUEL BERNARDO of legal age, Filipino, single,


and a resident of 143 Pinaglabanan Street, Sta. Cruz, Manila, after having been sworn
in accordance with law, hereby depose and state THAT:

1. I am the owner of the love issued by DANIEL JOHN FORD PADILLA on


December 25, 2016;

2. Sometime after I received the aforesaid love, I put it in my heart together with
all of his promises and locked it;

3. When I tried to open my heart, the said love was missing. I asked the people I
met along the way if they have seen or find the missing love but they
answered in negative;

4. Despite my diligent effort to look for the said love, the same proved futile.
Thus, I considered it to have been lost and beyond recovery;

5. The said love was never confiscated nor used as a security to any obligation
or transaction;

6. I am executing this affidavit to attest to the truth of the foregoing statements


and for whatever legal purpose or intents this may serve.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto affixed my signature this 24 th day


of January 2018 at City of Manila, Philippines.

KATHRYN CHANDRIA MANUEL BERNARDO

IN THE MATTER OF CORRECTION OF

KRISTINA BERNADETTE C. AQUINO


Petitioner,

---versus--- Special Proc. No. 2018-0127

CIVIL REGISTRAR OF MANILA AND


ALL PERSONS/ENTITIES WHO/WHICH
MAY BE AFFECTED THEREBY,
Respondents.
x--------------------------------------x

PETITION

Petitioner, through the undersigned counsel and to this Honorable Court, most
respectfully states that:

1. Petitioner is of legal age, Filipino, single, a resident of Blk. 1 Lot 2 Forbes


Park, San Antonio, Makati and the mother and guardian of her minor child – JAMES
CARLOS AQUINO YAP, JR.; whereas Respondent - Civil Registrars are public officers
in-charge of the registration and cancellation/correction of entries in the civil registrar
where the fact of birth of the said minor child was registered, which registrar is located
at Ground Floor, City Hall, City of Manila;

2. Petitioner conceived and gave birth to her child – JAMES CARLOS


AQUINO YAP, JR. on April 19, 2007 at Manila Doctors Hospital, Ermita, Manila, out of
wedlock with James Carlos Agravante Yap, Sr., and was registered before the Office of
Respondent Civil Registrar of Manila under Civil Registry No. 17-1884. Copy of the
Certificate of Live Birth of James Carlos Aquino Yap, Jr. is hereto attached as Annex
“A;”

3. Prompted by the misbelief that her child, being born out of wedlock, could
not utilize the surname of her father – James Carlos Yap, Sr., and that it is more
convenient and easy to process the registration of her child’s birth if she was married
with James. Petitioner supplied erroneous information as regards the date and place of
her marriage with James Carlos A. Yap, Sr.;

4. Petitioner misrepresented in her application for the registration of birth of


her child that she and James Carlos A. Yap, Sr. were married on July 10, 2005 in
Santuario de San Antoonio Parish, Forbes Park, Makati, when the truth of the matter is
that they were and have not been married to this date. Copy of the Certification issued
by the Civil Registrar General attesting to the fact that Petitioner has not been married
to James Carlos A. Yap, Sr. as their marriage does not appear in the National Indices of
Marriage is hereto attached as Annex “B;”

5. As a result, “Entry No. 18” referring to the date and place of marriage of
the parents of the said minor child, and consequently, “Entry No. 20” particularly the
printed name of herein Petitioner which was entered as –KRISTINA BERNADETTE
AQUINO YAP, instead of KRISTINA BERNADETTE COJUANGCO AQUINO, of
Certificate of Live Birth of the child are false and misleading. Entry No. 18 in Annex A is
hereto bracketed and marked as Annex “A-1”. While, Entry No. 20 in Annex A is
further bracketed and marked as Annexes “A-2”;

6. In order to correct the aforementioned misinformation and erroneous


entries in the Certificates of Live Birth of her minor child, Petitioner hereto files the
instant Petition pursuant to Rule 108 of the Revised Rules of Court;

7. James Carlos A. Yap, Sr., the father of the above-named child, who has
been permanently residing in Quezon City did not acknowledge nor admit paternity over
the said child as he did not sign the Letter of Acknowledgment in the Certificate of Live
Birth of James Carlos A. Yap, Jr..

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is most respectfully prayed to this


Honorable Court that an Order be issued directing the herein Respondent – Civil
Registrars to cancel the information supplied as the date and place of marriage of
parents in “Entry No. 18” and to correct “Entry No. 20”, particularly the printed name
of the herein Petitioner from KRISTINA BERNADETTE AQUINO YAP to KRISTINA
BERNADETTE COJUANGCO AQUINO and to correct the surname of the minor child
from JAMES CARLOS AQUINO YAP, JR. to JAMES CARLOS AQUINO in the
Certificate of Live Birth of her minor child James Carlos.

Other reliefs just and equitable are likewise prayed for.
