TIMELINESS
Q12: Unsa pa ang tambag sa imoa kung naa man? (What other
advise did you receive if any?)
A12: Walay Certificate to file action nga naattach sa sumbong kay
wla nakaagi ug Lupon. (No certificate to file action was attached to the
complaint because the case did not reach the Lupon.)
The court should take cognizance of the fact that the accused was
not furnished with the necessary documents ought to be attached in a
Notice to File counter affidavit, as the accused would have it in his
Judicial Affidavit:
Q4: Unsa man ang nalukip sa imoa nadawatan nga order gikan
sa korte? (What were the inclusions of the order you received from the
court?)
A4: Sa criminal case no. 30-2023 kay ang order ug information.
Sa Criminal Case No. 31-2023 kay mao ra gihapon, order ug information,
wala nay lain pa.( In Criminal Case No. 30-2023, I received the order and
information. In Criminal Case No. 31-2023, I also received an order and an
information and nothing more.)
Q5: Aha man diay ang affidavit complaint kung naa man gani?
(Where is the affidavit complaint if any exist?)
A5: Wala giapil ug padala sa korte Attorney pero niadtong Hunyo
14, 2023, miadto ko sa korte sa plaridel uban nimo para makakuha ug
photocopies sa affidavit complaint sa mga kaso nga gipasaka batok nako.
(It was not included when I received it Attorney but last June 14, 2023, we
went to the court in Plaridel to obtain photocopies of the complaint filed
against me.)
That despite the non-service from the court of the affidavits and
the attachments, the accused endeavored to obtain, copies of the
affidavits in court. The attachments were however not included.
That it was only during the first hearing when the accused was
able to peruse copies of the attachments from the affidavits and it was
only then when the accused noticed that the Certificate to File Action
was issued by the Lupong Tagapamayapa of Barangay Southern
Poblacion. No notice to constitute the Lupon was issued, no proofs of
receipt for all hearings, no appointment letter, no complainants form, no
proof of filing in the barangay, not all notices of hearing were attached,
no notices from the Lupon with proof that the accused received a copy
thereof, no notice of return.
Now the accused is faulted that he did not raise the objections in a
Motion to Quash, without giving any credence to the statements in his
Judicial Counter Affidavit filed before arraignment. Had statements been
considered and not merely, presumably just “noted”, the Honorable
Court could have possibly appreciated the plight of the accused.
It is the humble submission of the undersigned counsel that the
accused would have intelligently answered all the issues had he been
furnished with the affidavits and its attachments.
The accused agrees with the Honorable Court that the running of
prescription is interrupted upon the filing of the case before the
Barangay.
The Honorable Court ruled that Dr. Manisan may testify absent a
Judicial Affidavit, albeit a continuing objection, because Doctor Manisan
is an expert witness and that he was only presented to identify the
Medical Certificates. This is another way of saying that a Medical Doctor,
who is an expert, and is only presented to identify Medical Certificates, is
EXEMPT FROM THE JUDICIAL AFFIDAVIT RULE. The accused however,
cannot locate this exemption in A.M. No. 12-8-8-SC.
Such other relief as may be just and equitable in the premises are
also prayed for.
