AFFIDAVIT - COMPLAINT

ZAPANTA, IVAN EARL B.
PRAC COURT 1
5. The following day, July 12, 2010, I was already feeling better
and I expressed my desire to be released from hospital confinement. I
also inquired from the nurses on duty about what time my attending
physician was going to give me my release order since my mental
faculties were all stable and I already wanted to be discharged that
morning.

11. Evidently, my appeals for sobriety and reason fell on the deaf
ears of my husband, Accordingly, I was forcibly taken away in a
straightjacket upon orders of my husband Salvi, despite my
protestations that I wanted to be brought home to recuperate from any
perceived ailment. Against my better judgment, who was adamant in
subjecting me to cruel and inhuman treatment, in his desire to have me
brought to a hospital institution against my wishes.
15. Because I did not feel anything that would require prolonged
medical attention, I often asked my doctor to order my discharge from
the hospital. I was informed, however, that I could only be released
upon orders of my husband.
16. Hours turned to days and days turned to weeks. Through this
period and knowing fully well that there was nothing wrong with me, I
asked permission to have a cervical cytology test5 and Gynecological
Ultrasound6 conducted, aside from regular manicures and pedicures
to kill time.

17. Because I was also the managing owner of the travel agency
business, I directed one of my office personnel to send some of my
work to the hospital, but she never found out that I was actually holed
up in the basement of the Medical City. Conducting my business from
the hospital was extremely difficult such that some of my clients
transferred their business elsewhere, especially when I could not
immediately attend to the work because of my forced detention at the
Basement.
18. To also show that I was fully cognizant of what was happening
at the Basement, even if it was taboo to actually keep records in the
Basement, I was able to have some writing materials sent to me where
I would even list down the names and contact numbers of my fellow-
patients. I also kept a record of activities which I did while in detention,
just to keep myself busy while being holed up in the said hospital.

24. FINALLY, by the obvious fact that respondent has caused the
physical separation between me and my daughter, SIMEONE, which
has severely hampered my interpersonal relationship with my child,
aside from the fact that one could just imagine the ruckus that was

caused when I was forcibly taken away in a straight jacket and taken
to a hospital institution without informing me of the actual reasons for
my confinement. Such acts are tantamount to already contributing to
the mental and/or emotional anguish which I was subjected to.
32. That my daughter found the prescription for other drugs such
as clonazepam and valium.
