A. No, we have been living separately for almost a year since she left our
home.
12. Q. Based on your answer with my previous question, are you saying that Mrs.
JOANNE R. FONTANILLA had knowledge that you drink alcohol?
A. Yes sir, we drank alcohol together at my apartment during the time when
we were still dating because she wants to relax and relieve her stress from
the pressure of the board examination.
13. Q. Can you recall on what year did you two started dating?
A. Sometime on April 2016, that was the time when she came to Manila to
take the board examination.
14. Q: Do you have any idea why she accuses you of being a habitual drunkard?
A: No sir, but she always told me that she wants to separate with me because
I cannot cope up with her achievements.
15. Q: What is the reason why do you drank alcohol during your marriage?
A: She always nags at me and she often tells me the things she had achieved
since she passed the board exam and this made me inferior to her, and she
also told me that marrying me was the biggest mistake of her life. That is
the reason why I drank to relieve the stress and pressure she gives me.
16. Q: Did you have a pre-nuptial agreement with the respondent regarding your
properties?
A: None sir.
17. Q: What are you asking this court with respect to this case?
A: I am praying that the Honorable Court would not grant the annulment of
marriage because I did not conceal anything to her.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 19th day of 2018 at
Quezon City.
