respectively;

6.) Out of their cohabitation, a child was born namely Gladise M. Navarro,

herein CO-PETITIONER, who was born on July 31, 1988 at Phil. General Hospital

located at Taft Ave., Manila, photocopy of her Certificate of Live Birth is herewith

attached and made integral part hereof as Annex “B”;

7.) At the time of the filing of this Petition, CO-PETITIONER GLADISE M.

NAVARRO is 22 years of age and at present is a 3 rd year dentistry student at Centro

Escolar University at Mendiola, Manila;

8.) PETITIONER DESIREE M. NAVARRO and RESPONDENT were

sweethearts since their teenage years and before RESPONDENT left for abroad as an

overseas contract worker, PETITIONER DESIREE M. NAVARRO was already

pregnant;
 3

9.) PETITIONER GLADISE M. NAVARRO was born out of wedlock on

July 31, 1988 before PETITIONER DESIREE M. NAVARRO & RESPONDENT got

married on September 28, 1991;

10.) After their marriage on September 28, 1991, PETITIONER DESIREE

M. NAVARRO &RESPONDENT lived together in Calaca, Batangas; after one and a

half months, RESPONDENT again left for abroad, this time in Kuwait, where he

works for ten (10) straight years, but for four (4) years they never communicated with

each other;

11.) PETITIONER DESIREE M. NAVARRO patiently took good care of

their only daughter (herein CO-PETITIONER GLADISE M. NAVARRO) providing

for her needs;

12.) PETITIONER DESIREE M. NAVARRO heard so many news about the

philandering activities and infidelity of the RESPONDENT while working abroad,

and even when he is in the Philippines, he had the temerity to date other girls;

13.) There were several instances that several women on different occasions

would suddenly appear in their house, pretending to be a co-worker of the

RESPONDENT in Kuwait, introducing herself as “Mary” whom PETITIONER

DEISREE M. NAVARRO later on came to know that her real name was Rosie

Pangan, who was impreganated by the RESPONDENT while in Kuwait and who just

went home to the Philippines to give birth to their illegitimate child;

14.) The following month, another woman went in their house, introduced

herself as Sylvia Salvador and represented that RESPONDENT instructed her to look

for PETITIONER DESIREE M. NAVARRO;

 4

15.) PETITIONER DESIREE M. NAVARRO confronted the Sylvia Salvador

and told her “dalawa na kayong pumunta dito”;

16.) All the other women of the RESPONDET had done nothing but to create

trouble in the private lives of the PETITIONERS;

17.) Until PETITIONER DESIREE M. NAVARRO discovered that whenever

RESPONDENT would return to the Philippines for a vacation, he would have a girl

impregnated, and in fact, he begot (5) children with different girls;

18.) And the latest among them is a certain Evangeline Navarro whom

RESPONDENT is living-in at present in Kuwait; Evageline Navarro even had the

guts to use the surname “Navarro” used in her personal and official records like the

Philippine Passport despite the fact that the use of the surname “Navarro” is illegal;

they begot a child and named him Junior Navarro;

19.) All these illicit activities of the RESPONDENT had caused a severe

dissipation in the monthly support being given by the RESPONDENT to the herein

PETITIONERS; the amount of monthly support started to wane starting this year;

20.) PETITIONERS are in dire need of financial support specially CO-

PETITIONER GLADIES M. NAVARRO who is already in the last two (2) years of

her dentistry course;

21.) If RESPONDENT would not give her support, she might be forced to

stop schooling, thus, ruining a bright future for an intelligent daughter, who, because

of the philandering ways of the father, will shatter a daughter’s dream of becoming a

dentist;
 5

22.) On the part of PETITIONER DESIREE M. NAVARRO, she could no

longer make both ends meet; she is just an ordinary “seller in the public market”

whose income is very unstable; she had suffered so much not only emotionally but

also physically in trying to send a loving daughter to school;

23.) PETITIONERS herein desire that a monthly support be given to them by

the RESPONDENT in the total amount of One Hundred Thousand (P 100,000.00)

Pesos considering that the latter’s monthly income in Kuwait is not less than Three

Hundred Thousand (P 300,000.00) Pesos;

24.) PETITIONER demanded that the y be given the above amount as

monthly support, RESPONDENT however did not heed their demand, photocopy of

the demand letter is hereto attached as Annex “C”;

25.) As a result of RESPONDENT’S unjustified refusal to heed

PETITIONER’S just & valid demands, the latter suffered sleepless nights &

besmirched reputation for which they should be indemnified in the amount of Fifty

Thousand (P 50,000.00) Pesos as and by way of moral damages;

26.) The reckless, abusive & oppressive manner by which RESPONDENT

violated & disregarded PETITIONERS’ rights likewise warranted the payment of

exemplary damages in the amount of Fifty Thousand (P 50,000.00) Pesos;

27.) Thus, PETITIONERS were constrained to hire the services of the

undersigned LAW OFFICES because of RESPONDENT’S unjustified failure and

refusal to heed their demand for support and committed themselves to pay the

undersigned LAW OFFICES the amount of Fifty Thousand (P 50,000.00) Pesos plus
 6

an Appearance Fee of Three Thousand (P 3,000.00) Pesos for each and every court

appearance.

29.) As previously adverted to above, PETITIONER DESIREE M.

NAVARRO is a mere seller in the public market while PETITIONER GLADISE M.

NAVARRO is still a 3rd year dentistry student at Centro Escolar University;

30.) Legal support between spouses arises from the fact of marriage. (Pelayo

vs. Lauron, 12 Phil 453) Support for education shall continue up to the completion

of one’s course, even beyond the age of majority. (Javier vs. Lucero, 50 OG 4845)
