COMPLAINT-AFFIDAVIT

I, Yvonne Aguilluz-Guevarra, of legal age, married and a resident of 123 Malate, Manila after being sworn
in accordance with law depose and say that:

1. That the respondent Victor Guevarra and I met sometimein January 2012 while being
schoolmates at San Beda College In Alabang and became sweethearts after a short courtship;

2. As we were both too much in love, we hastily gotmarried on November 25, 2012 in a civil
wedding ceremony solemnized by the Mayor of the City of Manila. Copy of the Certificate of Marriage
dated May 25, 2013 issued by the NSO is hereto attached as Annex ‘A”;

3. After our wedding, we lived together as husband and wifein our conjugal dwelling in Sierra
Subdivision, Manila City;

4. Several months into our marriage, respondent began toexhibit his irresponsibility and no caring
attitude. He would leave the house and would come back only after several days. Such behaviour on the
part of respondent resulted in our quarrels and verbal altercations;

5. Sometime in June 2013, we had a violent quarrel broughtabout by his rude behavior and his
expression of animosity toward my parents. He did not approve of their frequent visits in our house;

6. After our quarrel, he left our conjugal dwelling and thiswas the last time I ever saw him. Since
then, I had not seen, communicated nor heard anything from him or about his whereabouts. So I returned
to my parents' abode at Las Piñas and stayed there for about two months;

7. To cope with the sudden turn of events in my life, I wentabroad to Washington D.C., U.S.A., on
September 06, 2013 to unwind and for employment purposes as well, and came home after almost two
years.

8. Sometime in August 2015, a relative who works in theCity of Muntinlupa informed me that my
husband, respondent Victor Guevarra has gotten married to another woman, a certain Janine Arguello, in
a religious ceremony solemnized by Fr. Ramonito Sequito at the Jerome Emiliani Church in the City of
Muntinlupa, on February 14, 2015. A copy of their Certificate of Marriage is hereto attached as Annex “B”;

9. My marriage with respondent Victor Guevarra is stillsubsisting and has not been annulled or
dissolved. His act of contracting a second marriage to Janine Arguello despite the subsistence of our
marriage constitutes the crime of bigamy punishable under Article 349 of the Revised Penal Code.

I executed the foregoing Complaint-Affidavit to attest to the truth of the facts stated and for the purpose
of charging respondent, whose last known address is at 1525 Acacia Street, Ayala, Alabang Village, Muntinlupa City
with the crime of bigamy.
