very much in line with the ruling of the Supreme Court in the case of
MARCOS v. MARCOS (G.R. No. 136490, October 19, 2000), to wit:
13. That the participation of the Dra. Revita and her approach
in this case mirrors the recent pronouncement of the Supreme Court

Honorable Court, the Petitioner posits that the expert witness has
