    AFFIDAVIT OF MERIT

    I, GRACE R. POE, of legal age, Filipino and resident of 234


    Orange Street, Greenhills San Juan, after being duly sworn to in
    accordance with law, hereby depose and state that:

    1. I am the Petitioner in the case entitled GRACE R. POE vs OJOJ B.


    INAY docketed as Criminal Case No. 678910 and pending before the
    Regional Trial Court;

    2. I have caused the preparation of the “Motion for


    Reconsideration” to which this affidavit is attached;

    3. I have read the allegations contained therein and I hereby state


    that the same is true and correct of my personal knowledge and
    based on authentic records;

    4. I have received a copy of the resolution of the Regional Trial


    Court dismissing my petition for failure to prosecute for an
    unreasonable length of time;

    5. The reason for my failure to proceed with the steps necessary for
    my case was due to the fact that my counsel, Atty. Maru N. Ong
    was admitted in the National Kidney Institute for an emergency
    operation;

    6. The partners of my lawyer were not able to handle my case


    because of their individual work load and hectic schedule;

    7. The foregoing circumstance that led to the dismissal of my


    petition constitute mistake and/or excusable negligence which
    ordinary prudence could not have guarded against and by reason of
    which I have been impaired of my rights, especially because
    a judgment was rendered by the court without affording me the
    chance to present my evidence;
    8. I voluntarily execute this Affidavit of Merit to attest to the truth
    of the foregoing facts and in order to support the grounds in my
    “Motion for Reconsideration” as it really shows that the same is
    meritorious and in order that the Order or Judgment
    rendered against me be reconsidered and set aside and a new one
    be issued reinstating the instant case.

    Affiant adds nothing more at this time.

    August 1, 2011, Makati City.
