YASUO IWASAWA, Petitioner, v. FELISA CUSTODIO GANGAN1 (A.K.A FELISA GANGAN

ARAMBULO, AND FELISA GANGAN IWASAWA) AND THE LOCAL CIVIL REGISTRAR OF PASAY
CITY, Respondents.

DECISION

VILLARAMA, JR., J.:

Before us is a petition for review on certiorari under Rule 45 of the 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure, as
amended, assailing the September 4, 2012 Decision2 and October 16, 2012 Order3 of the Regional Trial
Court (RTC), Branch 43, of Manila in Civil Case No. 11-126203. The RTC denied the petition for
declaration of nullity of the marriage of petitioner Yasuo Iwasawa with private respondent Felisa Custodio
Gangan due to insufficient evidence.

The antecedents follow:

DebtKollect Company, Inc.
Petitioner, a Japanese national, met private respondent sometime in 2002 in one of his visits to the
Philippines. Private respondent introduced herself as “single” and “has never married before.” Since then,
the two became close to each other. Later that year, petitioner came back to the Philippines and married
private respondent on November 28, 2002 in Pasay City. After the wedding, the couple resided in
Japan.4cralaw virtualaw library

In July 2009, petitioner noticed his wife become depressed. Suspecting that something might have
happened in the Philippines, he confronted his wife about it. To his shock, private respondent confessed
to him that she received news that her previous husband passed away.5 cralaw virtualaw library

Petitioner sought to confirm the truth of his wife’s confession and discovered that indeed, she was
married to one Raymond Maglonzo Arambulo and that their marriage took place on June 20, 1994.6 This
prompted petitioner to file a petition7 for the declaration of his marriage to private respondent as null
and void on the ground that their marriage is a bigamous one, based on Article 35(4) in relation to Article
41 of the Family Code of the Philippines.

During trial, aside from his testimony, petitioner also offered the following pieces of documentary
evidence issued by the National Statistics Office (NSO):chanrobles virtua1aw 1ibrary

(1) Certificate of Marriage8 between petitioner and private respondent marked as Exhibit
“A” to prove the fact of marriage between the parties on November 28, 2002;

1” to prove the fact of the latter’s death on July 14, 2009; and
(4) Certification11 from the NSO to the effect that there are two entries of marriage
recorded by the office pertaining to private respondent marked as Exhibit “D” to prove
that private respondent in fact contracted two marriages, the first one was to a
Raymond Maglonzo Arambulo on June 20, 1994, and second, to petitioner on
November 28, 2002.
The prosecutor appearing on behalf of the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) admitted the authenticity
and due execution of the above documentary exhibits during pre-trial.12 cralaw virtualaw library
On September 4, 2012, the RTC rendered the assailed decision. It ruled that there was insufficient
evidence to prove private respondent’s prior existing valid marriage to another man. It held that while
petitioner offered the certificate of marriage of private respondent to Arambulo, it was only petitioner
who testified about said marriage. The RTC ruled that petitioner’s testimony is unreliable because he has
no personal knowledge of private respondent’s prior marriage nor of Arambulo’s death which makes him
a complete stranger to the marriage certificate between private respondent and Arambulo and the
latter’s death certificate. It further ruled that petitioner’s testimony about the NSO certification is likewise
unreliable since he is a stranger to the preparation of said document.
Petitioner filed a motion for reconsideration, but the same was denied by the RTC in an Order dated
October 16, 2012.
Hence this petition raising the sole legal issue of whether the testimony of the NSO records custodian
certifying the authenticity and due execution of the public documents issued by said office was necessary
before they could be accorded evidentiary weight.
Petitioner argues that the documentary evidence he presented are public documents which are
considered self-authenticating and thus it was unnecessary to call the NSO Records Custodian as witness.
He cites Article 410 of the Civil Code which provides that books making up the civil register and all
documents relating thereto shall be considered public documents and shall be prima facie evidence of the
facts stated therein. Moreover, the trial prosecutor himself also admitted the authenticity of said
documents.
The OSG, in its Comment,13 submits that the findings of the RTC are not in accord with law and
established jurisprudence. It contends that both Republic Act No. 3753, otherwise known as the Law on
Registry of Civil Status, and the Civil Code elaborated on the character of documents arising from records
and entries made by the civil registrar and categorically declared them as public documents. Being public
and genuineness and consequently, there was no need for the court to require petitioner to present the
records custodian or officer from the NSO to testify on them. The OSG further contends that public
documents have probative value since they are prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein as
provided in the above-quoted provision of the Civil Code. Thus, the OSG submits that the public
documents presented by petitioner, considered together, completely establish the facts in issue.
In her letter14 dated March 19, 2013 to this Court, private respondent indicated that she is not against
her husband’s petition to have their marriage declared null and void. She likewise admitted therein that
she contracted marriage with Arambulo on June 20, 1994 and contracted a second marriage with
petitioner on November 28, 2002. She further admitted that it was due to poverty and joblessness that
she married petitioner without telling the latter that she was previously married. Private respondent also
confirmed that it was when she found out that Arambulo passed away on July 14, 2009 that she had the
guts to confess to petitioner about her previous marriage. Thereafter, she and petitioner have separated.
We grant the petition.
There is no question that the documentary evidence submitted by petitioner are all public documents. As
provided in the Civil Code: chanrobles virtua1aw 1ibrary
ART. 410. The books making up the civil register and all documents relating thereto shall
be considered public documents and shall be prima facie evidence of the facts therein
contained.
As public documents, they are admissible in evidence even without further proof of their due execution
and genuineness.15 Thus, the RTC erred when it disregarded said documents on the sole ground that the
petitioner did not present the records custodian of the NSO who issued them to testify on their
authenticity and due execution since proof of authenticity and due execution was not anymore necessary.
Moreover, not only are said documents admissible, they deserve to be given evidentiary weight because
they constitute prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. And in the instant case, the facts stated
therein remain unrebutted since neither the private respondent nor the public prosecutor presented
evidence to the contrary.
This Court has consistently held that a judicial declaration of nullity is required before a valid subsequent
marriage can be contracted; or else, what transpires is a bigamous marriage,16 which is void from the
beginning as provided in Article 35(4) of the Family Code of the Philippines. And this is what transpired in
the instant case.
As correctly pointed out by the OSG, the documentary exhibits taken together concretely establish the
nullity of the marriage of petitioner to private respondent on the ground that their marriage is bigamous.
The exhibits directly prove the following facts: (1) that private respondent married Arambulo on June 20,
1994 in the City of Manila; (2) that private respondent contracted a second marriage this time with
petitioner on November 28, 2002 in Pasay City; (3) that there was no judicial declaration of nullity of the
marriage of private respondent with Arambulo at the time she married petitioner; (3) that Arambulo died
on July 14, 2009 and that it was only on said date that private respondent’s marriage with Arambulo was
deemed to have been dissolved; and (4) that the second marriage of private respondent to petitioner is
bigamous, hence null and void, since the first marriage was still valid and subsisting when the second
marriage was contracted.
WHEREFORE, the petition for review on certiorari is GRANTED. The September 4, 2012 Decision and
October 16, 2012 Order of the Regional Trial Court of Manila, Branch 43, in Civil Case No. 11-126203 are
hereby SET ASIDE. The marriage of petitioner Yasuo Iwasawa and private respondent Felisa Custodio
Gangan is declared NULL and VOID.
The Local Civil Registrar of Pasay City and the National Statistics Office are hereby ORDERED to make
proper entries into the records of the abovementioned parties in accordance with this Decision.
