APOLOGY WITH MOTION TO ADMIT

BELATED COMMENT
Respondent, by and through counsel, most respectfully states as
follows:

1. On September 8, 2022, undersigned counsel received a copy of

the Order dated March 9, 2022 of this Honorable Court of
Appeals directing the respondent through counsel to file a
comment on the petitioners’ Motion for Reconsideration within
ten (10) days, in-extendible, from notice of said receipt.

2. Hence, this compliance.

3. Firstly, undersigned humbly apologizes to the Honorable Court

of Appeals for his tardy submission of the private respondent’s
Compliance. Such however was due solely to heavy case load
and stocked up cases and other professional commitments of
equal importance which he has to attend to, and which were
adversely affected by the international pandemic. Nonetheless,
he hereby undertakes to be more attentive in his future
appearances and/or dealings with the Honorable Court.

4. Attached hereto is a copy of the required Comment, marked as

Annex “A-Motion” to form an integral part of this Motion.

PRAYER
Wherefore, it is most respectfully prayed of the Honorable Court of
Appeals to accept the apology and admit the foregoing Comment.
 General reliefs just and equitable under the premises are likewise
prayed for.

Respectfully submitted.

Cebu City, Philippines. 17th day of September 2022.
