COMPLAINT AFFIDAVIT

I, JACQUELYN GASTON, of legal age, Filipino, married to the


respondent, a housewife, and a resident of #25 Juan Antonio St., Sta. Ana,
Manila, after having been duly sworn in accordance with law, hereby depose and
state:
1. I am and the same person who is the complainant in the instant case;

2. I know the person of NATHANIEL, being my husband and who


currently holds position as Vice President at International-Cellular Inc.
(IN-CELL Inc.), INCELL Inc. Building, 10th St., Fort Bonifacio, Taguig
City where he may be served with Office summons, notices and
processes;

3. That we were married on May 10, 2011 at Regional Trial Court


Manila Branch 67 before the sala of Hon. Judge Marlowe Baviera. The
copy of marriage certificate is hereto attached as Annex A;

4. That out of lawful marriage, we begot one (1) son born on March 2,
2012. Our son Juan Carlos is five (5) years old. A copy of his
Certificate of Live Birth are hereto attached and marked as Annex B;

5. That in the beginning of our marriage, we lived harmoniously as


husband and wife and parents to our child until the later part of 2016
when my husband had shown and displayed irrational behaviour not
expected from a mature and a responsible husband and father to our
child;
6. That while he was employed as Vice President at IN-CELL Inc. when
its office was originally at #1096 Taft Ave., Manila, he used to regularly
go home and visit us;

7. That when he transferred his service to Taguig City due to the


relocation of the IN-CELL Inc. office from Manila to Bonifacio Global
City (BGC) on September 15, 2016, he did not go home already and
spare sometime to visit us, worst is he did not even send support to us;

8. From this time, my husband continuously failed to comply to his


undertakings because he failed to give support to our child including
food and educational expenses for our child while he was studying at
Paco Catholic School, Paco, Manila City;

9. That his act of continuous failure to give support since the year 2016
tantamount to economic abuse which is defined under R.A. 9262 or
Violence Against Women and their Children as:
"Economic abuse" refers to acts that make or attempt to make a
woman financially dependent which includes, but is not limited to the
following:

1. Withdrawal of financial support or preventing the victim from


engaging in any legitimate profession, occupation, business
or activity, except in cases wherein the other spouse/partner
objects on valid, serious and moral grounds as defined in
Article 73 of the Family Code;

xxxxxxxxx.

10. I have been hearing rumors that my husband has been romantically
engaged and cohabiting with another woman in Makati City. Because
of this, I commenced efforts to find out whether the said rumors were
true. Through a series of text messages I have seen in his cellphone
since June 2016, I found out that he was cheating on me with one
Maria Kylie Palma, secretary of IN-CELL Inc. A printed copy of the said
text messages is hereto attached as Annex C
11. That this act of cohabiting with this woman caused substantial and
emotional distress to me and our child which is violation of paragraph
(h) Section 5 of R.A 9262;
12. Moreover, we suffer and continuously suffering of mental and
emotional anguish, public ridicule and humiliation when he had
contracted subsequent marriage and denial of financial support to our
children which is a violation of paragraph (i) Section 5 of R.A 9262;

13. That because of this criminal act and gross misconduct, my husband
deserves to suffer from consequences of his act and be discharged
from his work so as not to allow a person like him to tarnish the image
of the company and shall serve as an example that similar acts cannot
be done by other employees of IN-CELL Inc.;

14. That I cause the preparation of this affidavit to support my complaint.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this May 2, 2017


at Manila City, Philippines.

Jacquelyn Gaston
Complainant-Affiant

SUBSCRIBED AND SWORN to before me this 2nd day of May 2017.
