the Sto. Nio Church, Tacloban City. The petitioner and the respondent
didnt have any children before their marriage and they decided that they
will not conceive any child that year.

6. On March 12, 2013, while the respondent was away from home working
at the office, the petitioner decided to clean their room. Much to her
surprise, she found 2 boxes of lipsticks, mascaras, eye liners and concealers
in the respondents drawer. The petitioner knew that those cosmetics does
not belong to her.

7. When the respondent arrived home, the petitioner immediately

confronted him about the cosmetics hidden in the respondents drawer.
The respondent then confessed that he was a homosexual and he
concealed that fact because he truly love her and he doesnt want to lose
her by telling the truth about his gender.

8. The petitioner, shocked by the confession of the respondent, decided to

run to her room and lock herself up. While she was running, she stumbled
on a bag that was brought by the petitioner when he arrived home.

9. Her stumble caused enough force to open the bag and to her surprise,
the petitioner saw that the bag was full of LSD(Lysergic acid diethylamide)
pills contained in a transparent plastic bottle. The respondent then
confessed that he is a drug addict and at the same time. He justified his act
by stating that the earnings he get from selling illegal drugs is used to help
their family.

10. The petitioner was horrified of what she had witnessed that day and
decided to leave their house and stay with her mother. She never knew
before her marriage that her husband was homosexual and the same time,
a drug pusher and a drug addict.

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, petitioner respectfully prays

that the Honorable Court gives due course to this petition, declaring her
marriage with the respondent annulled by reason of concealment of
homosexuality and concealment of drug addiction and ordering the Local
Civil Registrar keeping the record of such marriage to make the necessary
corrections thereon.
