Affidavit of Loss

Basis: An affidavit is a written sworn statement of fact voluntarily made by an affiant or deponent under
an oath or affirmation administered by a person authorized to do so by law. Such statement is witnessed
as to the authenticity of the affiant’s signature by a taker of oaths, such as a notary public or
commissioner of oaths. An Affidavit of Loss is a written statement declaring the physical loss of a
personal property or an important document or record belonging to the affiant or owner himself. It may
be due to a destruction, misplacement or theft. If the record is stolen, misplaced or destroyed, the owner
is required to swear an affidavit pertaining to the loss of the item. This is an outlining that, to the best of
the person’s knowledge, the record is truly gone.
Affidavit of Merit
Basis: An affidavit made by a party to an action setting forth that the party has a substantial and genuine
ground of action or defense. An Affidavit of Merit is frequently attached by a defendant or a party when
filing a Motion before the Court not to be declared in default or by seeking for a new trial of the case
pursuant to the Rules of Civil Procedure.

AFFIDAVIT OF MERIT

I, xxxxxx, of legal age, Filipino, with office address at B-319 3F Lopez Building,
Session Road, Baguio City, after having been duly sworn to in accordance with law,
hereby depose and state:

1. That I am the counsel on record for the plaintiff-appellants Shamjia Lamsis

Galate and Aida Kadisel Lamsis in an appeal case docketed as CIVIL CASE
NO. 1111111 against Rosemarie Jocson and pending before the Regional Trial
Court Branch 62 of La Trinidad, Benguet. However, said case was also entered
for and under the name of xxxxx LAW OFFICE;

2. That on May 2015, with the consent of the Plaintiff-Appellants, the above
entitled case, its management as well as the preparation of the required
Appeal Memorandum was assigned to my associate, Atty. xxxxx;

3. That on May 22, 2015, after a thorough research and preparation, the Appeal-
Memorandum prepared by Atty. Rheina B. Lapeña, was printed and copies
of the same were filed before this Honorable Court and served to the counsel
of the adverse party;

4. That after the mailing of the Appeal-Memorandum on May 25, 2015, I

assumed that everything was in order. Never did I know that the copy
mailed for submission by said counsel to the Honorable Court was unsigned,
because the file copy of said pleading left with our Office and the copy sent to
the adverse party were properly signed by her;
5. Too bad, on August 26, 2015, I received the Order of this Honorable Court
dated August 25, 2015 dismissing the above-entitled case. The Court did not
give due consideration to the unsigned Appeal Memorandum and deemed
that no Appeal Memorandum was ever submitted Plaintiff-Appellants, hence,
the dismissal of the case;

6. That the unguarded posting and filing of the unsigned copy of the Appeal
Memorandum by the assigned counsel was not deliberately or competently
done, to be interpreted as a shenanigan for delay, rather it was due to lapse of
consciousness, a tempest that may beset anybody of any age, on any given
time;

7. That I humbly entertain substantial and valid argument, that it would be

unfair to entertain that the unconscious submission of the unsigned copy of
the Appeal Memorandum in an inherent deficiency, incapable of remedy that
warrants the outright dismissal of the case on Appeal;

8. That plaintiff-appellants have a valid and meritorious cause, to wit:

“Plaintiffs have been in the lawful and peaceful possession in the

concept of owner of an agricultural land consisting of 4.7 hectares, situated
at Barangay Sto. Tomas, Tuba, Benguet, they being the designated heirs and
owners thereof, by the late Mateo Lamsis, the late husband of plaintiff Aida
Kadisel Lamsis and the father of plaintiff Shamjia Lamsis Galate covered and
embraced by Assessment Real Property No. 99-001-00618.

“In January 2013, herein plaintiffs leased a portion of this

agricultural land to Reynold Naagas for a period of one year for the latter to
till and devote the same for agricultural cropping.

“On or about August 9, 2013 and days thereafter, defendant

together with her several cohorts, taking advantage of the frailty of Plaintiff
Aida Kadisel Lamsis who suffered heart stroke and the temporary absence of
defendant Shamjia Lamsis Galate who is on the family way, by means of
force, strategy and stealth, and without the consent of plaintiffs, unlawfully
entered and occupied a portion of the above-described parcel of agricultural
land estimated to be of 480 square meters, more or less, (portion of leased
area to Reynold Naagas) and began dumping gravel and sand, unloaded
hollow blocks and started to fence the premises with a barbed wire,
prohibiting and threatening with bodily harm the plaintiffs’ representatives
sent to safeguard the premises thereby illegally depriving plaintiffs of their
possession of the premises.
 “Plaintiffs have been in actual and prior physical possession of the
above-described real property, as in fact, the plaintiffs have been in actual,
peaceful and uninterrupted possession of the said property since the lifetime
of their predecessor-in-interest Mateo Lamsis, until defendant unlawfully
deprived plaintiffs of possession over the said portion of land.

“Since the day that defendant illegally entered said portion of the
land, defendant have remained in illegal possession of the said premises up
to the present and in fact she continues to dump building materials,
notwithstanding repeated demands made upon her to vacate the same and
turn over the said land to the plaintiffs.

“Plaintiffs have a clear legal right to be protected since they are in

prior actual, lawful, peaceful, and in physical possession of the subject real
property before the defendant illegally deprived them of possession and that
except for the lessee and his gardener they never authorized anybody to enter
the said premises.”

9. That plaintiff-appellants have good, valid and substantial cause of action

against the defendant-appellee as shown in the complaint and reproduced in
the body of the foregoing motion;

10. That I am therefore executing this affidavit to attest to the foregoing and to
support Plaintiffs-Appellants Motion for Reconsideration of the Order of
dismissal of the above-entitled case.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I hereby affix my signature this 27 th day of August

2015 in the City of Baguio, Philippines.

 Affidavit of Discrepancy
Basis: It might come as a surprise for some people when they discover that the name that they have been
using is not the same with the name indicated in their birth certificates. If that happens, some public and
private offices often require that the person concerned issue an Affidavit of Discrepancy and additionally
requiring two other disinterested persons to attest to the identity of the person who has discrepancy in
his name. R.A. 9048 as amended by R.A. 10172 is the substantive law as to which corrections to the
person’s first name or nickname may be done administratively by executing an affidavit.
 Affidavit of Self-Adjudication
Basis: Founded on Section 1, Rule 74 of the Rules of Court, an Affidavit of Self-Adjudication maybe
executed by a sole-heir of a decedent to adjudicate unto him the entire estate of the former.
