the ship Captain;

of the RJ RAMOSA informed petitioner about the ill-fated incident
of the ship where they lost communication after 10 hours of voyage;
8). A search and rescue operations were conducted by different
government agencies such as the Philippine Coast Guard, Philippine
Navy, Philippine Air Force together with the other ships of the RJ
RAMOSA;
9). After two weeks of continues search and rescue operations, the
rescue teams decided to suspend the search due to bad weather that
brought heavy rains and destructive waves and subsequently
terminated the operations, all efforts prove futile;
10). On July, 2009, petitioner and their 1 year and 11-month old
child moved to the house of her parent in-laws as the loss was too
much for her to bear;

to locate said respondent, none of these is present;

2
 13). Many years passed and nothing was heard of her husband, it is
now petitioner’s strong well-founded belief and honest feeling that
her husband did not survived the ill- fated RJ RAMOSA;

14). It is almost ELEVEN (11) years to date since the disappearance

of the petitioner’s husband under extra-ordinary circumstances;
Hence, this instant petition for purposes of subsequent marriage
pursuant to Art 41 of the Family Code ;

her petition would approve by the Honorable Court.

WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is most respectfully prayed

of this Honorable Court that, after due notice and hearing, to grant the instant
petition, by declaring GODOFREDO R. MEJIA PRESUMPTIVELY
DEAD and declaring the vinculum matrimony between him and the petitioner
to be legally severed, thereby enabling her to remarry.

Petitioner further prays for such other orders and reliefs just and
equitable under the foregoing premises.
