COMPLAINT
PLAINTIFFS, by the undersigned counsel, and unto
this Honorable Court, most respectfully state, that:
THE PARTIES
1. Plaintiffs are of legal age, Filipinos, married to each
other, with residence and postal address at Lot 18 Block 12 La Trinidad Village, Talipapa, Quezon City.
2. While defendants are also of legal age, Filipinos,
with residence address at Lot 3, Block 6, La Trinidad Village, Talipapa, Quezon City, where they may be served with summons and other processes of this Honorable Court. Complaint Bombase vs. De Leon, et al Page 2 of 5 ============
CAUSE/S OF ACTION
3. Plaintiffs are the lawful and legal owners of that
certain house and lot located at Lot 3, Block 6, La Trinidad Village, Barangay Talipapa, Quezon City having purchased the same for residential purposes in good faith and for value from its registered owner Jesus Q. Macapobres. Attached hereto are the following documents as proof of their ownership, to wit:
Annex “A” - Deed of Sale
Annex “B” - Transfer Certificate of Title No.
20042
Annex “C” - Special Power of Attorney.
4. As plaintiffs still in the process of transferring the
registration of the subject property in their names, they decided to place a padlock on the gate and main door of the house, to keep it safe from trespassers or unauthorized intruders;
5. However, during the early morning hours of 24
April 2016, plaintiffs received a report that defendant William De Leon and other 4 male persons, jointly and conspiring with one another, forcibly entered the subject property by destroying the padlocks placed on the gate and main door of the house;
5. Plaintiff Flora Bombase immediately proceeded to
their property and saw many people milling in front their property and watching the defendant who was angrily shouting invectives and in a threatening stance. Due to fear, Mrs. Bombase did not confront the defendant at that time and hid behind the other kibitzers, especially considering that respondent William De Leon has a gun tucked at his waistline;
6. Thereafter, respondents placed padlocks on the
main door of plaintiffs’ property and to date, was deprived possession of the same; Complaint Bombase vs. De Leon, et al Page 3 of 5 ============
7. Eventually, the disagreement between the parties
was formally brought by the plaintiffs before the concerned officials of Barangay Talipapa, Quezon City. However, no amicable settlement was reached, hence, on 22 August 2016, a Certificate to File Action was accordingly issued by the said barangay.1
8. On 4 August 2016, plaintiffs sent the defendants a
formal demand to vacate. However, said letter was returned with annotation “RTS, NO ONE TO RECEIVE”;2
10. Thus, on September 7, 2011, another formal
notice to vacate and pay was sent to the defendants giving them a period of fifteen (15) days to voluntarily vacate the premises and pay their accrued arrearages from February 2011. The same was duly received by the defendants on September 16, 2011. Again, this was merely ignored by the defendants.
11. Despite the lapse of the period afforded by the
plaintiff, defendants still refused to vacate the leased property which they are still occupying up to this time despite the expiration of the Contract of Lease.
12. Defendants have been afforded by the plaintiff
many opportunities to voluntarily vacate the premises and settle their unpaid monthly rentals which, has accumulated to FIFTY TWO THOUSAND PESOS (P52,000.00) as of
1 ANNEX “C” – Certificate to File Action 2 ANNEX “D” Complaint Bombase vs. De Leon, et al Page 4 of 5 ============
September 2011. Unfortunately, the defendant unjustly
refused to do so.
13. To protect her rights and interest, plaintiff was
constrained to retain the services of the undersigned for an agreed professional fee of P25,000.00 as acceptance and P2,500.00 per court appearance.
14. Finally, as a result of defendants’ acts, plaintiff was
made to suffer sleepless nights, mental anguish and besmirched reputation.

WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is most
respectfully prayed of this Honorable Court that after due notice and hearing, judgment be rendered in favor of the plaintiff ordering the defendant and all other persons claiming rights from them:
(a) To immediately vacate the subject premises and
restore plaintiff to its peaceful possession; and
(b) To pay the plaintiff the following amounts:
i) Monthly rental of SIX THOUSAND FIVE
HUNDRED PESOS (P6,500.00) from February 2011 until such time as they have vacated, voluntarily or involuntarily, and legal interest thereon from the time demand to pay was first made. Complaint Bombase vs. De Leon, et al Page 5 of 5 ============
