Manager, Mr. Freddie R. Coach to inquire whether they accept bookings for weddings,

number to which the Twenty Five Thousand Pesos (Php25,000.00) that they already paid may
be deposited;
21. That the plaintiffs refused to accept the amount by not furnishing any bank account number and
demanded a meeting with the General Manager.

ceremony;
31. That The Pakyaw Hotel and Casino accommodated herein plaintiffs, confirming the availability
and willingness of the establishment to cater to a most joyous and once in a lifetime event in the
couple’s lives, willfully causing the plaintiffs to believe that they can celebrate their wedding
therein;
32. That without much explanation or offer of consolation of any kind, The Pakyaw Hotel and
Casino terminated its agreement with herein plaintiffs, leaving the latter to endure further agony
and stress in redoing their wedding preparations, wasting herein plaintiffs’ precious time;
33. That as a result of said wanton disregard for the interests of the plaintiffs, The Pakyaw Hotel and
Casino caused actual damages to the plaintiffs;
34. That as a result of the willful and flagrant disregard of The Pakyaw Hotel and Casino for its
clients, plaintiffs suffered embarrassment and humiliation from initially announcing that their
wedding will be held in a first class hotel and eventually celebrating the same in a lower class
one, not at par with the plaintiffs’ status in life and not in accordance with the bride’s earnest
wishes;
35. That as a result of The Pakyaw Hotel and Casino’s gross negligence and willful and flagrant
disregards for their clients, herein plaintiff Dionisia May-Weather suffered sleepless nights,
anxiety and social humiliation that her dream wedding may not be celebrated in time, such mental
anguish physically manifested in the then pregnant bride-to-be’s delicate condition, prompting her
to be hospitalized for two days and required bed rest for seven more days;
36. That the willful, flagrant and malicious disregard of the defendant has worked as an injustice to
the rights of the plaintiffs;
37. That as a consequence, plaintiffs were compelled to institute the instant action against the
defendant. They were constrained to retain the services of counsel to whom they paid an
acceptance fee of Forty Thousand Pesos (Php40,000.00) and bound themselves to pay the
undersigned counsel an appearance fee of One Thousand Five Hundred Pesos (Php1,500.00)
per appearance;
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, the forgoing premises considered, it is most respectfully prayed that this
Honorable Court render judgment ordering Defendant to pay herein Plaintiff the following
amounts:
Plaintiffs likewise pray for such other reliefs as are just and equitable under the premises.
SO PRAYED.
