COMPLAINT AFFIDAVIT

I, GEMMA CLAVERIA Y DE CHAVEZ, of legal age, married, Filipino and


a resident of Libjo Tangisan, Batangas City, after having been duly sworn to in
accordance with law hereby depose and state that:

On January 28, 1996, I married Ruel C. Claveria of Libjo, Batangas at the


Parish of San Isidro Labrador, San Isidro, Batangas City before Rev. Fr. Jose Ma.
Loyola D. Cumagun, a copy of our Certificate of Marriage is hereto attached as
Annex A;

I and Ruel decided to have our conjugal abode at Libjo, Tangisan,


Batangas City and our marriage was blessed with a child, Camille Joie D.
Claveria;

During my marriage with Ruel Claveria, there were times that we


experienced some family problems but these were settled and resolved since I
believe that he still loves me and for the sake of our child, Camille Joie D.
Claveria;

Sometime in February 2005, I learned from a family friend that my


husband has an illicit affair with one Vilma M. Velasco who is also a resident of
Batangas City;

I confronted my husband, Ruel, about it, demanded him to leave his


paramour but his refusal led to a serious misunderstanding between us which
caused us to physically drift apart;

The illicit affair of my husband with Vilma M. Velasco deeply hurt me and
destroyed my treasured family and due to this, I decided to investigate the
reason why my husband refused to leave her paramour Vilma M. Velasco;

Upon inquiry to the National Statistics Office, I discovered that my


husband, Ruel contracted another marriage to Vilma M. Velasco at Quezon City
before Minister Honorato D. Santos on March 14, 2001 while my marriage to him
is still valid and existing, a copy of the Certificate of Marriage of Ruel Claveria
and Vilma M. Velasco is hereto attached as Annex “B”;

I also found out that Ruel and Vilma did not procure a marriage license
but instead they made it to appear to Rev. Honorato D. Santos that there was no
legal impediment for them to marry and that they were cohabiting as husband
and wife for at least five years, as shown in the oath of Rev. Honorato D. Santos
at the dorsal portion of their Certificate of Marriage;

Vilma M. Velasco definitely knew that Ruel Claveria was married to me


since she was from Batangas City and it is very evident in their acts of not
procuring a marriage license for their marriage and having their marriage at
Quezon City while they are both residents of Batangas City;
I executed this complaint-affidavit to file criminal charges of Bigamy
against my husband Ruel D. Claveria for contracting a second marriage to Vilma
M. Velasco while our marriage is still valid and existing and Violation of Article
350 of the Revised Penal Code against Vilma M. Velasco for contracting marriage
with my husband Ruel Claveria despite the knowledge that the latter has the
legal impediment to marry her.

IN VIEW THEREOF, I have hereunto set my hands this ____ day of


February , 2010 at Quezon City, Philippines.

GEMMA D. CLAVERIA
Complainant

SUBSCRIBED AND SWORN to before me this _____ day of March,


2008 at Batangas City, Philippines.
