the neighboring barangay, in Del Pilar, Alicia, Isabela.
Q6: Do you have any proof to show that such corn land is yours, if

but was declared under my name (handing over the Tax
Declaration to counsel).

A8: My corn land is bounded by the river on the northern area, the
national highway on the east, by two mango trees on the
southeastern area, by a narra tree on the southwestern part and
bamboo trees on the northwestern part near the river.

Q9: Why did you file a case for Ejectment for Forcible Entry the
defendant?
A9: Because defendant, Mando Rugas, through stealth and
strategy, cultivated my corn land without my permission.

Q10: When did this happen?

A10: On August 25, 2014 Attorney, when he again cultivated is corn
land after his return from Hongkong, he included my two (2)
hectares land, and planted it with corns.

A11: It is located in Del Pilar, Alicia, Isabela Attorney, adjacent to my

Q13: Did he vacate the land?
A13: No, he did not. He refused to vacate.
Q14: So what did you do when he refused to vacate your land, if
there is any?
A14: I consulted my legal counsel who immediately sent a formal
demand letter through registered mail with return card on
October 23, 2014, which was received by the said Mando
Rugas on October 25, 2014.
Q15: Do you have any proof that such demand was really made and
whether it was received by the defendant?
A15: Yes Attorney. I have here a copy of the Demand Letter and
registry receipt to show that defendant really received my
demand letter to vacate (handling over the demand letter and
registry receipt to counsel).
Counsel:

I am marking this Demand Letter as Exhibit C and the

Registry Receipt as Exhibit D.

Q16: How much damage did you incur, if any, by reason of the
unauthorized cultivation by the defendant of your corn land, if
there is any?
A16: I sustained damages equal to the unrealized income I should
have earned from the harvest of my said corn land for the last
planting seasons as a result of the malicious occupation of the
defendant of my corn land. The institution of this case also
compelled me to incur damages consisting of attorneys fees in

filing fee, cost of transportation and other miscellaneous
accommodation of its lawyer and other personal expenses to
be incurred in attending the hearings of this case in the amount
