Power supply gets better as Steag completes repair

By IRENE DOMINGO, Reporter

THE Mindanao grid gets back the 105-megawatt supply from Steag State Power, Inc. after the completion of the coal-fired power plant’s maintenance works on one of its two units.

In a statement yesterday, Steag said it started connecting the 105MW of Unit 1 of its 210-MW plant at 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, or 34 hours ahead of schedule.

Steag Power shut down Unit 1 last July 27 for a scheduled preventive maintenance.

Resumption of Unit 1’s operations halved Mindanao’s

power supply deficiency to 75 megawatts, according to the National Grid Corp of the Philippines (NGCP).

However, maintenance work on Unit 2, which went offline last July 29, continues due to “some technical problems,” Steag Power plant manager Carsten Evers said, adding that repairs were “on track and on schedule.”

He said repairs on Unit 2 would be completed by September 15. “[P]arallel maintenance works for Unit 2 are now being carried out side by steag/PAGE 10

P100-M NorCot M’nao business leaders craft agenda projects pushed to enhance island’s competitiveness DAVAO CITY—Business leaders in Mindanao crafted nine-point policy agenda designed to enhance the islandregion’s competitiveness and prepare for the anticipated ASEAN integration in 2015.

The policy agenda was e n d ors e d to Pre s i d e nt Benigno Aquino through the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) during the closing ceremonies of the 22nd Mindanao Business Conference (MinBizCon) held here last week.

“Through this policy agenda, we intend to work closely with key government agencies in attaining a seamless Mindanao economy as the country enters into free trade agreements with its fellow ASEAN membernations,” said John Gaisano, J r. , 2 2 n d M i n B i z C o n

conference director.

He explained that key points included in the policy agenda were crafted from a series of consultations with nearly 250 Mindanao businessmen and organization leaders who sought for immediate and long-term solutions to the island-region’s economic issues and concerns.

“We identified vital sectors which can propel Mindanao’s economy and help the islandregion reap the benefits of a greater economic integration come 2015,” said Gaisano.

Among these key sectors

include agriculture, energy, information and technology, tourism, small and medium enterprises, logistics and infrastructure, skills development, and natural resource management.

“The Mindanao business c om mu n it y c om m e n d s President Aquino’s resolve in finding realistic solutions to Mindanao’s recurring power problem,” he added.

Gaisano said that aside from achieving a regime of affordable and reliable power supply in Mindanao, the island-region also needs enhance/PAGE 7

M’sian oil firm eyes depot in ARMM C O TA B AT O C I T Y— A Malaysian oil company has expressed intent to establish an oil depot in the coastline of Parang, Maguindanao, the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao-Regional B oard of Investments (ARMM-RBOI) revealed.

Larry Santos, ARMMRBOI senior investments specialist, said a feasibility study is underway for the setting up of the Iron Blaze

Petroleum Company depot facility in a strategic section of Polloc Port, the region’s premier seaport, situated in Barangay Landasan, Parang town.

“Ever ything is in the pipeline,” Santos said.

He noted that the ARMM and Malaysian oil f irm have agreed to a 60/40 revenue scheme in favor of the regional government.

Once operational, Santos

said the oil depot would have the capacity to handle 50 million liters of fuel per year.

Maguindanao and the rest of Central Mindanao region including Cotabato City is currently inconvenienced with higher fuel costs compared to its neighboring areas due to the absence of an oil depot facility.

Better Late Than Never

T

THINK

hink a minute…Harlan was only 5 years old when A Minute his father died.

By Jhan Tiafau Hurst When Harlan was just 14 he quit school and started working on farms.

At 16, he lied about his age and joined the American army.

After serving only 1 year as a soldier he left and tried becoming a metal worker, but he failed at that too.

Finally, Harlan got a job working on a train locomotive and liked it.

He thought he had finally found his place in life.

Harlan married at age 18, but within months he was fired from his job so his bride left him.

Over the next years Harlan worked many more jobs.

He tried selling insurance and car tires.

He tried operating a ferryboat.

Then he managed a gas station.

But it was no use.

Harlan just seemed to be a born loser!

Finally, late in life, he became a cook and dishwasher at a restaurant.

But soon he was too old and forced to retire.

His wife had since returned to him, but he and his family were so poor that they could hardly buy food for their family.

At the age of 65, Harlan’s first retirement check came from the government.

It was so small that it made him very angry.

At that moment, He decided to use that small retirement check to start a new business.

Today, that business of Harlan’s is prospering and succeeding all over the world!

That man who failed at everything he did all his life, still refused to be a failure!

Harlan decided it was time to start again, because it’s never too late to change!

Guess what that new business was which Harlan started at age 65 with his first retirement check?

Drinking Water from Floodwater, Sewage, Canals?

IFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building…”

(1 Corinthians 3:9, the Holy Bible).

-ooo DRINKING WATER DURING CALAMITOUS TIMES: As our country and the whole world continue to suffer from the destructive and deadly effects of global warming and climate change and of natural calamities like rains, floods and strong winds, clean, potable, and safe drinking water instantly becomes an urgent and primary necessity to allow our people to survive and weather the crisis confronting them.

Even if their residences are wrecked and leveled to the ground, or their entire communities are deprived of light and electricity and are isolated because roads leading to their places are completely damaged and destroyed beyond use, they could go on living, and their sufferings and pain become somewhat tolerable, if they continue to have clean and safe drinking water.

Unfortunately however, drinking water is among the very first casualties in a town or city that is ravaged by global warming and climate change, and by incessant rains, rampaging floodwaters, and howling winds.

Too often, the difficulties brought about by natural calamities become compounded a thousand times when, despite the flooded surroundings, there is not enough

K

or, sometimes, absolutely akampi nothing, to drink.

Mo A ng Batas -oooBy Atty. Batas Mauricio WAT E R FROM FLOODWATERS, SEWAGE, CANALS & ESTEROS: But t h i ng s are b e g i n n i ng to hopefully change for the better, thank God in the name of Jesus. And I am doubly thankful to God, again in the name of Jesus, that my group, which we have named “Workers in God’s Service Company”---an organization loosely organized as a partnership among several individuals who desire to help pursuant to Biblical and spiritual principles---is being allowed to help effect this change on a nationwide scale.

What am I referring to? Well, our group is graciously being tapped by a group of local and foreign businessmen who are now the exclusive Philippine distributors of mobile or portable water treatment machines which can turn floodwaters or even water from the sewage or from the canals and esteros, and even saltwater from batas/PAGE 7

An Emergency: Pancreatitis in Capsule Form

T

he pancreas is one important organ that is located behind the stomach in the upper abdomen. It is very near the gallbladder and liver, too. Thus, it is not surprising to note that there are instances where, affectations of the pancreas will also affect the stomach, the small intestine, liver. Its functions is related to the secretions of the cells seen in the pancreas: the islet cells , through its insulin and glucagon regulate sugar ( glucose ) metabolism , and the acinar cells are responsible in the secretion of digestive enzymes.

Pancreatitis can be acute or chronic. The clinical manifestations of pancreatitis is related to the production of the digestive enzymes while still in the pancreas.

Ordinarily, these enzymes once secreted, these are pushed to the small intestines to do what it is supposed to do- help in the digestive process. However, in the presence of gallstones, certain medications, infectious agents, abdominal surgery, smoking and alcohol intake, the functions of the pancreas is compromised. In cases where alcohol is the cause of the pancreatitis, the injury is related to damage and blockage of the pancreatic ducts due to digestive enzyme release and alcohol by products destroying the cell membranes damage to the cell membranes.

In general, pancreatitis secondary to alcohol intake will require prolonged and hazardous drinking , which in turn causes a progressive and irreversible damage to the pancreas. It is quite difficult really to quantify how much or how often or how long the drinking must

Kids Learn Why Money Matters

t has been more than a week since the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) launched its Money Matters for Kids exhibit at the Activity Area of the Gateway Mall in Cubao, Quezon City.

Hundreds have already gone and enjoyed its fun and interactive approach in explaining to children the importance of money and how to use it wisely.

The exhibit, which will be brought to different cities and municipalities nationwide, is a project of BSP’s Financial Consumer Affairs Group, and a component of t he Bank ’s integrated Economic and Financia l Learning Program.

It aims to instill discipline in saving among children, and also to teach them how to be conscious and smart consumers at an early age. Let me give you a quick tour of the exhibit.

Designed for school children 12 years and below, the exhibit has two main attractions: a grocery shop and a make-believe bank, where they are introduced to the concepts of spending and saving.

At the grocery store, a child can play the role of cashier while the other kids are the shoppers. Toting their mini-baskets, the young ones learn how to prioritize needs over wants as they shop within a strict budget.

At the bank, the kids get to try common transactions such as deposits and withdrawals while they pretend to be the bank manager, teller, or client. There is also a mock-

SPEAKING

up ATM (Automated Teller Machine) where children can O ut learn how to use the machine By Ignacio Bunye and what it is for.

After going to the grocery and the bank, the kids can check out a collection of coins from around the world, and a machine t hat identif ies the currencies in different countries. There are a lso activ ities and games t hat can sharpen their counting sk i l ls a nd creat iv it y, a nd one that teaches them how to spot counterfeit money.

What can probably interest even the adult companions of the kids are the informative displays on the history and characteristics of our currency. Trivia and sayings about money are also posted all over the area to give both information and inspiration to the exhibit-goers of all ages.

The BSP, which also has financial literacy programs targeting adults and even overseas Filipinos, has been very active in educating the Filipino youth about money and saving. bunye/PAGE 7

When Colonel Harlan Sanders changed and became successful at this later age, it was after he asked Jesus Christ to forgive him for living his own way and he started living Jesus’ way.

So why not make that same choice yourself right now?

Why not ask Jesus to forgive you for living your own way?

Then ask Him to take full charge of your life every day, for the rest of your life.

No matter how old you are or how many times you’ve failed, with Jesus in charge of your character and life, it’s never too late to change!

“Par t i c ip ant s to t he conference are urging the country’s development banks to enhance their credit access among MSMEs especially t hos e engage d in ag r ibusiness in order to promote home-grown businesses and countryside development,” he said.

Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCCII) President Daniel Lim said the island-region also needs to enhance its infrastructure and logistics support in key production areas to improve Mindanao’s intra-connectivity as well as its national and international market reach.

At t h e M i n B i z C o n opening ceremonies, President Aquino announced that the Department o f P u b l i c Wo r k s a n d Highways (DPWH) has so far allocated P61.54 billion for road, bridge, and other infrastructure projects in Mindanao for2011 to 2014.

The amount is expected to increase with the proposal of P34.29 billion for the 2014 budget.

“We also support the development of Mindanao growth corridors and export gateways, which is being espoused by MinDA in preparation for the ASEAN integration,” said Lim, while adding that the establishment of growth corridors is a development strategy aimed to enhance the efficiency and comp etitiveness of

Mindanao’s infrastructure support.

The export gateways and growth corridors, which include the Southern Mindanao Economic Cluster (Tagum-Davao, GenSan Gateway); Northern Mindanao Economic Cluster (CDO-Iligan Gateway); and the Western Mindanao Economic Cluster ( Z amb o ang a Pe n i nsu l a Gateway), intend to achieve physical integration among key economic clusters in Mindanao in its bid to become self-reliant and internally dependable.

Other points raised in the policy agenda include the amendments in the Cabotage law to reduce transport cost of products coming from Mindanao; improvement of tourism infrastructure; addressing of jobs and skills mismatch; the amendment of the tariff and customs code of the Philippines; and putting in place the policy framework for responsible and sustainable mining practices in Mindanao.

rural areas and urban centers, providing more opportunities for our industr ies and enabling them to participate in the ASEAN community through our export gateways,” said MinDa chair Luwalhati Antonino.

In a statement of MinDa, the Department of Public Wo r k s a n d H i g h w a y s (DPWH) Secretary Rogelio Singson presented during the Mindanao Business Conference that the department allotted P34 billion infrastructure development for Mindanao in 2014.

It was noted that DPWH’s 2014 budget for Mindanao is the highest fund that the department has allocated for the region. ”Separate infrastructure support to ARMM totaled to P8.78 billion, inclusive of other projects funded from 2011,” stated by MinDa. Likewise, the Department of Tr ans p or t at i on an d Communications (DOTC) is set to improve 15 airports and 46 ports in Mindanao to improve transportation and logistics system. ”Sec. Joseph Emilio Abaya said the Davao-Sasa port will undergo modernization and privatization, and the Davao International Airport will be improved in time for APEC in 2015, which the Philippines will be hosting. They will also complete the development of the new Laguindingan Airport and pursue the nightrating of Dipolog Airport, Ozamis Airport and Cotabato Airport,” added MinDa. Aside from the modernization of certain inf rastr uctures, MinDa said that DOTC will also be undertaking the P56.5 billion Central Spine RoRo Project that will cut 20 hours of the ususal travel time from

Manila to Mindanao.

The Central Spine RoRo Project will create ManilaPanay-Negros-Cebu-BoholNorthern Mindanao route. “ We l l - p l a c e d infrastructure will allow Mindanao’s top exports sourced mainly from rural areas to expediently reach urban centers for processing and marketing, and arrive at our export gateways faster and in better shape,” the MinDa chair said.

Meanhile, included in the Mindanao growth corridors are the establishment of Mindanao Food, Agribusiness and Logistics C orridor comprising of Mati, Tagum, Davao, Island Garden City of Samal, South Cotabato, General Santos, and Sarangani.

Also, the Tagum-DavaoGeneral Santos road link and the proposed Davao City by-pass Road will enhance the two areas as Davao and GenSan are considered as major export gateway.

“We are strengthening our lo cal supply chain management system in Southern Mindanao and will connect this to international export gateways and growth cor r idors, t hroug h t he convergence of inter-province and inter-city road networks and ports improvement,” Antonino added. (PNA)

Despite the unplanned s h u t d o w n o f Un i t 2 , Steag Power “is expected to sustain its remarkably high plant-wide availability

Panalo SIKAP aims to address savings mobilization and micro enterprise development to generate micro savings across the country especially within the basic sector, which largely remains underbanked.

The program also seeks to reduce vulnerability of the poor through financial l it e r a c y, prom ot i on of culture of savings, and micro entrepreneurship.

It highlights an innovative social protection enhancer with a socialized interest of only 5 percent per annum f rom t he usu a l 20- to 35-percent annual interest from other micro-finance institutions.

“This is another milestone for concretizing financial inclusion efforts through a sustainable and scalable program targeting the base of the pyramid. As a bank, it gives us the opportunity to create and develop credit profile and credit score among the poor by enabling them to transition from being unbanked to becoming fully banked segment.” Gilda E. Pico, LandBank president and CEO said in a statement .

Manuel V. Pangilinan, chairman of the PLDT-Smart Foundation as well as PLDT and Smart, said that financial inclusion, poverty alleviation and livelihood is everyone’s business. While the issues concerning development as a whole are complex, this program is a foothold in scaling up opportunities for m i c ro s av i ng s and entrepreneurship for Filipinos who need to break out the cycle of hardship.

“We support this initiative and we’re ver y keen on working closely with all partners to make sure that it makes an impact.” Pangilinan said.

“We’re excited over this breakthrough service that will benefit those who need it most. It’s an example of how mobile technology can be used in public-private partnership programs in support of social good. With our partners, we expect Panalo SIKAP to further narrow the digital financial access divide in our country and to create

sustainable livelihood for the 4Ps and agriculture sector beneficiaries,” said Orlando B. Vea, chief wireless advisor, Smart.

“USAID is proud to be a strategic program partner in ensuring an effective and comprehensive on-ground financial literacy and education campaign plan in coordination with the DSWD. We need these beneficiaries to fully understand the value and opportunity of credit, livelihood and savings and how it could change their lives and make this as an initial step towards economic empowerment,” said Gloria D. Steele, USAID mission director in the Philippines.

Under the program, recipients of the government’s Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program can voluntar y participate by authorizing L ANDBANK to autodeduct from cash grants for their auto-savings. The amount can vary from P50 to a maximum of P100 per month or P100 or P200 per bimonthly payout depending on the beneficiary’s choice.

The auto-savings will be the basis for loan availment.

LandBank, in turn, can provide 50 percent of the total accumulated future savings of the beneficiary as loanable amount. Based on the beneficiary payout, the amount can either be P1,500 or P3,000. This credit facility can be used to avail of a Panalo SIKAP livelihood package that includes a startup phone, a free retailer SIM, merchandising material, selling guide, and an initial P2,500 initial load inventory.

Aside from their autosavings, beneficiaries who voluntary participate will pay a maximum amount of P56.61 a month which is just 4 percent applied to loan repayment of the total deduction. The rest goes into savings. They will also be required to set aside a minimum of 20 percent from their gross revenues per month from the Panalo SIKAP livelihood business as additional savings build up.

All the income will be stored in mobile savings build-up account enabled by the Smart e-Money platform and linked to the beneficiary’s LandBank ATM cash card.

Through the program, beneficiaries will not only enj oy t he auto-s avings features but at the same time have the opportunity to have immediate access to a credit facility for livelihood and in the process, providing them access to financial services and capital.

Those who avail of the loan can also enjoy a mortgage redemption insurance that covers death or total disability of the borrower while the loan is outstanding.

This program is on top of the existing P250-billion credit facility of LandBank set aside annually for its mandate d and pr ior ity sectors, and focuses on the provision of a retailer load micro-enterprise in

NHTO conducts orientation for LGUs in Region 10 CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY -- The National Household Targeting Office (NHTO) of Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office 10 will be conducting a series of orientation for the 93 Local Government Units (LGUs) and five provinces of Region 10 from August 22 to 30.

This is in line with the preparation for the implementation of the Second Round Regular Household Assessment/Enumeration within this year.

DSWD as the lead agency, through the Regional Project Management Office (RPMO) is enjoined to closely coordinate and collaborate with the respective LGUs in the conduct of said household assessment and enumeration in the entire region.

Governors, Mayors or their representatives, Provincial/ City/Municipal Planning and Development Officers, ABC Presidents, Provincial /City/Municipal Social Welfare and Development Officers within Region 10 are the expected participants of the orientation.

One of the major activities in the conduct of the Second Round Regular Household Assessment/ Enumeration will be the on-site house-to-house assessment and household enumeration. It is aimed at targeting and creating a database of poor households nationwide known as “Listahanan Ng Mga Pamilyang Nangangailangan” for social protection programs and services.

The National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction (NHTS-PR) or “Listahanan” is an information management system that the government uses in identifying who and where the poor are and it is being spearheaded by DSWD.

synergy of the two offices PIA and PBS under PCOO. Likewise, PIA Director General Jose Mari Oquiñena through a phone patch expressed his contentment over the collaboration of PIA and Radyo Ng Bayan.

He added that, through the program we can deliver more in-depth information to the people.

“If we c an i n for m , we can inspire; if we can inspire, we can involve,” he stressed.

Director General Oquiñena also said that through delivering the

good news, people will have deeper appreciation of being a Filipino and love for the country.

For his part, PBS Director Tito Cruz during the launching underscored the importance of developmental communication and delivering the good news.

“These are the things that our people would want to hear,” he said. “ The people should know that there are good things that are happening around us that they ought to know. It is our responsibility to tell the people that despite the fact that there are negative

things, like the recent bombing incident here, there are still more good news,” he added.

“If people know that there are better things to do and better things to help each other with, then I think ‘ang paglambo mahitabo sa isa ka lugar’ – development will happen in a certain community,” he concluded.

Meanwhile, PIA Regional Director Thelma B. Oliver, said “Lambo Dyes does not only entail reporting of developmental news around Northern Mindanao for it also implies motivation for people to understand, discuss, make

Respondent.

X--------------------------/ ORDER

This is a petition for adoption of minor filed before this Court on July 19, 2013 by the herein petitioners praying among others that after notice and hearing, judgment be entered adjudging the minor DIOFIL MARIS P. REYES to be the child of the herein petitioners.

Petitioners alleges that they are lawfully married couple, 50 and 46 years old, respectively and residents of MJ Cuenco St., Poblacion, Tubod, Lanao del Norte. Respondent is sued in its official capacity. They are childless spouses, in possession of full civil capacity and legal rights i.e not subject to any incapacity or disability like insanity or imbecility, civil interdiction, deaf-mutism, insolvency, financially able, and are not suffering any disqualification by law.

They desire to jointly adopt a minor named DIOFIL MARIS P. REYES, two (2) months and twenty-five (25) days already, as she was born on April 10, 2013, born as an illegitimate child to Efren L. Reyes and Cheene C. Pangasian. The said minor child had never felt the love, care and affection of her biological mother as she was immediately given and entrusted to the custody of Efren per their pre-arranged agreement, who in turn left her to the petitioner’s care and custody to avoid trouble and chaos with his legitimate family who are very much opposed to bringing the child home. In other words, the said minor was practically abandoned by her biological mother who allegedly went to Manila after recovering from the minor’s delivery hence, her written consent to adoption is not necessary. The person left to give the consent to minor’s adoption is in the person of his biological father Efren, who is not insane nor intemperate, with full knowledge of petitioner’s intention but left without choice to keep the minor child in his care and custody in the family dwelling because of his wife’s vehement opposition. The petitioners are qualified to adopt the said minor, and will be financially and morally capable to bring up and educate her property and adequately.

Set the initial hearing of this case to September 13, 2013 at 8:30 in the morning before the sala of this Court. Furnish copy of this Order to the Office of the Solicitor General at Makati City, Office of the Public Prosecutor in Tubod, Lanao del Norte, Office of the Local Civil of Kapatagan, Lanao del Norte, Atty. Dorothea S. Basalo, counsel for the petitioners, and to the petitioners themselves at MJ Cuenco St., Poblacion, Tubod, Lanao del Norte. Let copy of this Order be published in a newspaper of general circulation for three consecutive weeks, at the expense of the petitioners.

The Department of Social Welfare and Development, Field Office, Region 10, Cagayan de Oro City is hereby directed to conduct a Home Study and Child Study Report upon the petitioners and the child sought to be adopted, as well as the biological parents. She is directed to submit a report relative thereto at least (3) days before the scheduled hearing of the petition. Any interested person/s are hereby directed to come to Court on said time and date to show cause why said petition should not be granted.

SO ORDERED.

of Nullity of Marriage JOANNA B. BLANDO, Respondent. x--------------/ SUMMONS BY PUBLICATION TO:

Poblacion, Baroy, Lanao del Norte

Presently residing in London

G R E E T I N G S!

WHEREAS, on July 26, 2013, the Court issued an order granting the petitioner’s Exparte Motion for Leave to Serve Summons by Publication, the dispositive portion of which reads as follows:

“WHEREFORE, finding the same to be well taken and in order, the same is hereby granted. The service of summons by publication to respondent is granted at the expense of the petitioner.”

WHEREAS, Petition reads: PETITION

COMES NOW PETITIONER, through counsel and unto this Honorable Court, most respectfully avers: 1. That petitioner is of legal age, married, Filipino and a resident of Poblacion, Baroy, Lanao del Norte where may be served with court orders and legal processes; 2. Respondent is, likewise, of legal age , married, Filipino and presently residing in London, but her last known address in the Philippines is at Poblacion, Baroy, Lanao del Norte; 3. That petitioner and respondent are husband and wife their marriage having been performed and solemnized on October 16, 1994 at Sto Nino Parish Church, Baroy, Lanao del Norte, Philippines as evidenced by a Marriage contract, copy of which is hereto being attached and made integral part hereof as Annex “A”; 4. Out of the said relationship, no child was born and no real property was acquired; 5. That unknown to petitioner, respondent was, at the time of the celebration of marriage, psychologically incapacitated to perform and comply with the essential marital obligation of marriage; 6. Before and during the early years of their marriage, respondent had already manifested sociopathic personality disorder, immature and dependent character, as shown in the following: 7. While petitioner and respondent were sweethearts, the former already observed something different in respondent’s personality as she treated petitioner like a father instead of her boyfriend. Petitioner tried to be patient and considerate with her because she is a casualty of a broken home but she seemed to be unhappy and uncomfortable with their relationship as if she was looking for a fatherly affection; 8. There was a time in their pre-marital relationship that petitioner could no longer bear and understand what respondent wanted, that is why at one point in time, petitioner tried to break up from respondent but she did not agree and she even attempted to take her own life by slashing her wrist with a bladed object; 9. Their shaky relationship continued until they decided to exchange I do’s with each other on October 16, 1994; 10. At the onset of their married life, petitioner already found difficulty adjusting with respondent’s behavior. She would not listen to petitioner’s advises and would always disagree with the latter’s decisions. She would not perform the usual household chores of a wife like preparing our food, cleaning our room and washing our clothes; 11. There were instances in their married life which often ended up to heated arguments like respondent’s inability to pay on time their monthly utility bills for reason that the budget intended for said bills was used to buy other with lesser importance; 12. Sometime in the year 1996 petitioner opened a video rental shop business in Tubod, Lanao del Norte with the expectation that respondent would help him run and manage the said business, however, due to her indolence, she just left petitioner alone managing the said business until the latter decided to close the same; 13. Respondent had also the penchant for spending petitioner’s hard earned money for luxury and other less important matters; 14. Sometime in the year 2008 she went to London as tourist against petitioner’s will, hoping that she could get a job leaving with petitioner a huge debt which he personally paid but when she arrived in London she did not find a job simply because she did not exert extra effort to look for one; 15. When she returned to the Philippines, petitioner opened again another business in Maranding, Lala, Lanao del Norte, a novelty or gift shop business, hoping that she had already mend her ways and that she would already help petitioner manage said business; 16. Few days after its opening, said business was doing fine because respondent was helping petitioner manage the same. When petitioner was elected Municipal Councilor of Baroy in May 2010, he left the entire management of the business to respondent because petitioner had to concentrate on his new job as public servant; 17. Few days after leaving the management of our business to respondent, our daily sales dropped as respondent would no longer go to our store and monitor our business, hence, we suffered huge loss until petitioner decided to close the same; 18. In November 2010 respondent again left for London under student visa against petitioner’s will and since then, she did not return home anymore neither did she communicate with petitioner or his close relatives; 19. Lately, petitioner was informed by respondent’s friends that she is now having an affair with another man and in fact they are now living together as husband and wife without the benefit of marriage in London; 20. That said attitude of the respondent is attributable to the latter’s unstable and immature character due to the fact that the respondent is suffering from personality disorder and psychological incapacity to perform her marital obligations of marriage which appears to be grave and permanently incurable; 21. That due to respondents psychological incapacity, immature, unstable, and insecure character resulting from such personality disorder respondent would not and could not provide the proper mutual love, care, support, respect and fidelity as well as mutual help required of her as a wife imposed under the Family Code;

WHEREFORE, premises duly considered it is most respectfully prayed of this Honorable Court that after due notice and hearing judgment be rendered declaring the marriage between petitioner and respondent as NULL and VOID from the beginning in accordance with Article 36 of the Family code with all the legal effects and consequences thereof.

Petitioner also prays for such other relief and remedies just and proper in the premises.
