COMPLAINT-AFFIDAVIT

I, MARIA VIOLA, filipino, of legal age, married and a resident of Block 5, Lot

18, Phase 5, Ecoland Subdivision, Matina, Naga City, under oath, hereby states:
1. That my husband is WALLY T. VIOLA, who is a singer by profession;
2. That my husband and I contracted marriage in Naga City, on May 25, 2005, at the St.
Paul Church, Ecoland, Naga City, evidenced by a certificate of marriage hereto attached
as Annex "A";
3. That out of our marriage, we begot two (2) children Mary B. Viola, 12 years of age
and Pedrito B. Viola, six (6) years of age;
4. That I am charging my husband for Violation of Section 5 (e) paragraph 2, for
economic abuse specifically for withdrawal of financial support, of Republic Act 9262,
otherwise known as the Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children Act,
committed as follows:
A. That earlier said, my husband and I contracted marriage on May 25, 2005;
B. In the initial years of our marriage, life was so blissful for me and our two (2)
children;
C. Aside from being loving and thoughtful, my husband was a good provider not
only to me but to our two (2) children as well;
D. So to speak, it was like life living in an Oasis;
E. However, this had all changed starting sometime in June 2007, when my
husband accepted an offer to work at the EB GMA in Manila;

F. In the first two months of his work at the EB GMA, my husband was very
prompt in sending to me and our two (2) children the monthly support in the amount of
TWENTY THOUSAND (Php 20,000.00), Pesos Philippine Currency;
G. However, starting the month of September 2007 and onwards, suddenly, the
monthly support given by my husband started to become irregular;
H. During, the month of September 2007, sent to me and our two (2) children
only the sum of Five Thousand (Php 5,000.00), Pesos, Philippine Currency;
I. That when I called up my husband through his cell phone to ask why he only
sent the amount of Php 5,000.00, his answer was he was paying for some accounts
thereon;
J. Trusting, my husband, I accepted at face value his explanation, expecting that
his monthly remittance for our support would become regular starting October 2007;
K. However, this turned out to be otherwise; In October 2007, my husband sent
only the amount of THREE THOUSAND (Php 3,000.00), Pesos, Philippine Currency;
L. Again, when I called up my husband through his cell phone about his reason or
reasons in sending a very small amount for our support, his answer was at least he was
still sending money to me and our two (2) children.
M. I called my husband several times but he always yell at me and he never
wanted to talk to our children.
N. For the month of November and December 2007, my husband was only able to
send the total amount of SIX THOUSAND (Php 6, 000.00), Pesos, Philippine Currency
or at Php 3,000.00 for each of the two (2) months;
O. Worst, my husband never went home in Naga City, to spend Christmas with me
and our two (2) children;

P. That starting the month of January 2008 and up to the present, despite my
repeated pleas both oral and written, my husband had altogether refused to give money to
me and our two (2) children, both of whom were attending grade school at Naga
Elementary University;
Q. That, this has caused so much emotional and financial distress not only to me
but to our two (2) children, where I could already hardly give them their daily allowance
in going to school and forced the three of us to walk from home to school and vice versa
everyday.
R. That, because of this, I was forced to borrow money from my parents just for
my two (2) children to have their allowance in attending school at Naga Elementary
Univeristy;
S. That starting the month of February 2008 and up to the present, my children and
I have been totally dependent for support from my parents;
T. That the act of my husband without any justifiable reasons in depriving me and
our children a monthly support constitutes economic violence under Section 5 (e)
paragraph 2 of RA 9262, otherwise known as the Anti-Violence Against Women and
their Children Act;
U. That as a singer at the EB GMA in Manila, my husband earns a monthly
income of TWENTY FIVE Thousand (Php 25,000.00), Pesos, Philippine Currency, thus,
there is no reason that he would deprived me and our two (2) children the monthly
support thereof.
5. That I executed this affidavit to attest the truthfulness of the foregoing facts in the
complaint.

AFFIANTS SAYETH NAUGHT.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I hereunto affixed my signature this 16 th day of
