PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The person examining me is Atty. Grace Marielle Cruz with address at 117
Gamboa St., San Antonio, Cavite City. The examination is being held at the
same address. I am answering his questions fully conscious that I do so
under oath and may face criminal liability for false testimony and perjury.
PURPOSE
Q: State your name and other personal circumstances for the record.
A: I am Michelle A. Vale Cruz, 28 years old, married, and with residence at
123 Hermanos St., Caridad, Cavite City.
Q: What did the accused said when you demanded that he send money to
you?
A: When I called him on May 31, 2015, he said that his salary was delayed
due to some problems. He asked me to wait within the week and he will
send us the money immediately.
Q: Did he send the money one week after you were able to talk to him?
A: No.
Q: What other actions did you take to communicate with your husband?
A: I stalked his Facebook profile and found out that he was indeed in Cebu
City and was cohabiting with another woman.
Q: How did you know that he was cohabiting with this woman?
A: Because the woman uploads their pictures.
Q: Did the accused send you money pursuant to your demand letter?
A: No. He never sent me any amount.
Q: Since your husband does not provide you with any financial assistance,
how are you able to support yourself and your daughter?
A: At first, I was compelled to mortgage certain pieces of jewelry I own
because I really have no money. I even had to mortgaged our wedding ring
so I could buy our daughter vitamins and milk.
Q: Did you try to seek assistance from any relative and/or friends?
A: Yes.
Q: You said you asked for help from your friend, did she help you?
A: Yes. Since she was also the godmother of my daughter, she provides one
can of milk per month.
Q: Why?
A: Because he prevented me from doing so.
Q: You said that you also seek help from your mother, how did you tell her?
A: At first, she did not know that my husband has abandoned us already.
When all my jewelry were sold and when my landlord ejected me from our
apartment, I had no choice but to go to my mother and tell her everything.
She told me that me and my daughter are welcome in her house.
