MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

TO FILE PETITION FOR REVIEW

ACCUSED-APPELANT DR. CORAZON BUENAFE, by counsel,

to the Honorable Court, respectfully states:

1. On 31, January 2018, accused-appellant, filed a

petition for Certiorari under Rule 45 of the Rules of Court.

2. On the same date, petitioner–appellee received such

petition and was given fifteen (15) days or until 16 February,
2019 to file a reply for the petition.

3. Unfortunately, such period proved to be insufficient for

the undersigned counsel to review and study the entire records
of the case from the trial court up to the appeal to the Court of
Appeals.

4. Thus, undersigned counsel, begs the kindest

indulgence of this Honorable Court to grant him another fifteen
(15) days or until 3 March 2019 to file the required counter
pleading pursuant to Section 2, Rule 45 of the Rules of Court.
