 When called for arraignment, Counsel for the Accused, Atty. Sajonia moved for the

which the court has no jurisdiction. Said motion was based on the police blotter excerpt
attached to the records.
 Prosecution then manifested that while they concur to the manifestation of the Defense
counsel that the victim was a minor, there was no sufficient proof however that the
latter was indeed a minor except the JUDAF of the mother which alleges that his son
was only 6 years old.
 Prosecution did not object to a resetting and undertakes to subpoena private
complainant to appear at her office to clarify the matter.
 Arraignment reset to JULY 25, 2017 at 8:30 AM

FOR:
-versus- SLIGHT PHYSICAL INJURIES
FRANKLIN ABARQUEZ,
Accused.
x----------------------------------------x

MINUTES

Presiding Judge: HON. MANASSEH S. BASTES Date: June 28, 2017


Stenographer: Joevic Corales
Interpreter: Giles Edgar B. Daya

Appearances:
 Accused
 ACP Andrade
 Defense: Atty. Andrew Astilla

Setting for today: Promulgation of Judgment


 When this case was called for promulgation of judgment, Defense Counsel, Atty. Astilla moved
for the deferment of the promulgation and manifested that they intend to file a motion for
reconsideration of the April 19, 2017 order of this court declaring the accused to have deemed
waived their right to present evidence for failure to file JUDAF of their witnesses on time.
Counsel added that they were not in receipt of the copy of said order and requested that they
be given a period of time within which to receive the written order. He further added that the
reason why he was unable to attend the hearing last time was that at the time of the hearing,
they were still awaiting for the resolution of the demurrer to evidence. They only received the
resolution denying the demurrer after the last hearing.
 Prosecution objected to the deferment because as early as August of 2016, parties were already
directed to submit their respective JUDAF but until now accused has not done so; and further
inquired whether Defense Counsel was notified of the hearing in the previous setting. Defense
counsel answered that he was notified but he was at the RTC and that according to him, he
came to the court however hearing has already ended when he arrived.
 Court gave the accused 15 days to respond to the said written order and to furnish a copy to the
prosecution who is given 15 days from receipt to file their comments and/or opposition thereto.
Thereafter, the intended pleading shall be submitted for resolution
 Without prejudice to the outcome of the resolution, case was tentatively set to AUGUST 30,
2017, at 8:30 AM for PROMULGATION OF JUDGMENT.
