I.S. No. 12345 For: Bigamy (Art. 349, Revised Penal Code)

VICTOR GUEVARRA, Respondent. X-----------------------------------------X

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 sometime in 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 got married 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 wife in our conjugal dwelling in Sierra Subdivision, Manila City;

4. Several months into our marriage, respondent began to exhibit 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 brought about 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 this was 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 went abroad 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 the City 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 still subsisting 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. AFFIANT SAYETH NAUGHT. YVONNE AGUILLUZGUEVARRA Complainant-Affiant OATH AND CERTIFICATION SUBSCRIBED AND SWORN to before me, the undersigned prosecutor, this 18th day of December, 2015 in the City of Muntinlupa. I hereby certify that I have personally examined the affiant and that I am convinced that she voluntarily executed the foregoing affidavit and that she understood the contents thereof.
