1. Q. Please state your name and other personal
circumstances for the record.
A. JUANA SAN PEDRO-DELA CRUZ
2. Q. Are you the same JUANA SAN PEDRO-DELA CRUZ, the

petitioner in this case?
A. Yes, Attorney.
3. Q. Do you know a certain PABLO JOSE DELA CRUZ?

A. Yes, Attorney. He was the man I married on February
4, 2017.
4. Q. How did you meet respondent PABLO JOSE DELA

CRUZ?
A. We met at our workplace, a distribution utility here in
Bacolod City.
5. Q. Are you still cohabiting with PABLO JOSE DELA CRUZ?

A. No, we have been living separately for four (4) years
now since August 5, 2019.
6. Q. Do you have evidence of your marriage with PABLO

JOSE DELA CRUZ?
A. Yes attorney, I have an NSO Certified marriage
contract as my Exhibit "A".
7. Q. Did you have children with PABLO JOSE DELA CRUZ?

A. Yes, we have a daughter.
8. Q. What is the reason for your separation?

A. PABLO JOSE DELA CRUZ failed to support our basic
needs. Most of the time, he is drunk. For several times,
he was caught by his supervisor under the influence
of alcohol while on duty hence, was terminated. We
have given ourselves countless chances to reconcile
but he miserably failed to fulfill his marital obligations
of mutual love, respect and support.
9. Q. Why do you say that he miserably failed to fulfill his

marital obligations of mutual love, respect and
support?
Page 2 of 6
A. Because he failed to support our daughter’s needs and
he is always concerned with his ego and masculinity.
10. Q. What about his ego?

A. Pablo concerns a lot with his ego. When we were still
living together, starting when he was terminated from
work, I am the one supporting our family. This
always triggered him to malign me and say insulting
words at me because he feels humiliated. He is
always clamoring about his masculinity and
superiority over me as his wife.
11. Q. Aside from that, what did you experience or notice

from your husband?
A. He mocks me even in front of my friends, insulting me
because he could not accept that I was the one
supporting our family.
12. Q: How did you handle the situation with Pablo?

A: My patience would sometimes ran out. I would
confront him of his attitude towards me and his
irresponsibility, but the conversation would always
end up in heated arguments. I would be the one to
taper down my emotions since he would not always
back down because of his ego.
13. Q: When you and Pablo formally separated, what, if any,

did you do in order to restore order in your life?
A: I decided to seek legal assistance for the nullity of our
marriage. Pablo and I consulted a clinical
psychologist/psychiatrist and assessments were done
to assess who between me and my husband suffers
from psychological incapacity.
14. Q: What is the result of the assessment?

A: It turned out that Pablo suffers from a personality
disorder called “Narcissistic Personality Disorder”.
15. Q: Do you have a copy of the result?

A: Yes.
16. Q: Do you have common properties with the respondent

during your marriage?
Page 3 of 6
A: None, Attorney.
17. Q: Did you have a pre-nuptial agreement with the

respondent regarding your properties?
A: None, Attorney.
18. Q: What are you asking this court with respect to this
case?
A: I am praying that the Honorable Court would grant
my petition for Declaration of Nullity of my marriage
with PABLO JOSE DELA CRUZ on the grounds that our
marriage is void ab initio due to his psychological
incapacity on account of Narcissisistic type of
personality disorder.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this

3rd day of May, 2023 at Bacolod City.
