To Set Case for Hearing with - Prayer for Early Resolution / (Constitutional) Speedy Disposition of these Consolidated Cases

Plaintiff / Petitioner Judge FLORENTINO V. FLORO, JR., (Judge FLORO, for brevity) by HIMSELF, as litigant, unto this Honorable Court most respectfully MOVES To Set Cases for Hearing and herein Prays for Early Resolution / (Constitutional) Consolidated Cases, and avers, that: Speedy Disposition of these

1. Since these consolidated cases were filed on September, 1998, and after all the parties filed their respective pleadings, including answers with counterclaims, and pre-trial briefs with submission of the issues in these cases, only plaintiff Judge Floro appeared and presented evidence. 2. Despite repeated Orders of the Court, all the defendants, especially Mariano P. Blanco, never presented any evidence, and the Court on 2004 and 2005, ordered that they were deemed to have waived their right to crossexamine plaintiff, and that they also waived their rights to present evidence. 3. The Court ordered these cases submitted for decision on 2004 and 2005. However, the Court on 2005 dismissed these cases, after Atty. Nye Orquillas filed a motion to dismiss for alleged non-payment of docket fees. The Court later on, reversed its dismissal decision. 4. After several years of delay, Judge Floro, on 2007, filed a CA Writ of Amparo Case, alleging, inter alia, that a) RTC Judge Thelma Pinero-Cruz refused to decide the cases due to bribery and gross misconduct, that Judge Floro b) could not have filed an administrative case against her in the SC since her 4 UP Class 62 classmates would not, for sure, entertain Judge Floros pleas. After about 7 CA Justices Inhibition, the CA, through Justice Rey Sundiam, whose office was fully burned later on and he thereafter died on February, 2008, dismissed the Amparo case, ruling that Judge Floro should have rather filed an administrative case against Judge Thelma and Ms. Lerida Socorro-Joson. 5. Because of these pains, Judge Floro repeatedly complained to Executive Judge Petrita B. Dime, and begged her from 2005 to 2006 to order Judge Thelma to decide the case. Instead of listening, Judge Dime flew to Egypt, and forthwith granted Judge Thelmas inhibition-re-raffle order. Judge Floro, forthwith appealed to the Executive Judges Offices (Pasamba and Francisco); and thus, Judge Thelma was ordered to resolve the incidents. But Judge Thelma wrote the OCAD and asked for extension of time to decide, citing the filed 350 pages OCA IPI admin. case filed by Judge Floro against her as reason to inhibit, and against Judge Floros repeated objections.

- Page 2 -

6. The Supreme Court, in the meantime, through Judge Floros classmate, seat mate from 1978-1982, Antonieta Articona Brions husband Arturo D. Brion, removed with Finality, Judge Floro from judicial service due to dwarf consultation, on June 3, 2008; thereafter, jobless Judge Floro was ruled with finality by the same Justice Brion, to have lost his 350 pages OCA IPI case against Judge Thelma, due to lack of substantial evidence to convict her. Justice Brion ordered the re-raffle of the case. 7. LET IT BE REMEMBERED, that, after protracted proceedings by Judge Thelma, she ruled on September 3, 2008, that Judge Floros Motion for Reconsideration and all pending incidents are held in abeyance, as she ruled that all these consolidated cases are again [as she ordered these cases submitted for decision on 2004 and 2005] deemed SUBMITTED for DECISION against all defendants, Atty. R G Villarico and all parties except against the Trinidads (the dismissed supplemental complaint of Judge Floro; but the Trinidads petition to cancel adverse claim is also deemed submitted for judgment). 8. Br. 19, RTC, Malolos, which handled the LRC case on September, 1998 and later had it consolidated with Br. 80, RTC, under Judge Casanova, received the case via re-raffle on February 1, 2010. Despite several followups, Judge Francisco heard the case on May, 2010. At the hearing, Judge Floro repeatedly stated that he has full trust and confidence on the Judge, and therefore, Judge Francisco set the cases for hearing as agreed upon by the parties, on June 29 and July 15, 2010. 9. Judge Francisco ruled that Judge Floro and Atty. Guardiano for defendants were granted the right to expound articulate and elaborate on their positions on the issues at the set hearings. However, Judge Francisco, surprisingly inhibited per Order of May 21, 2010. 10. Judge Floro manifests that he lost his job since July 20, 1999 and he lost his property rights upon his only ancestral house and lot-home where he grew and lived from 1953-1989 (subject of these cases), for 12 years since 1998. 11. It is understandable that the Court is equally burdened with many important cases. However, these cases are extraordinary in character, and the - Page 3 -

entire Judiciary, since 1901, never ever had a case, that has undergone similar pains. Ergo, Judge Floro a) invokes his Constitutional right to speedy disposition of these cases, b) manifests that he has full trust and confidence on the Presiding Judge, and c) it is Judge Floros only plea that these cases be decided speedily, and he be granted 30 minutes (as he and Atty. Guardiano for defendants were granted the right) to expound, articulate and elaborate on their positions on the issues at the hearings to be set. 12. The Court will lessen the pains that Judge Floro would bear, if it would decide the case before any possible promotion to the CA, etc., since, if these cases reach the CA and especially the Supreme Court, Judge Floro, would, in the end, speedily and without further delay, suffer the same fate that he suffered when he both lost his job and the counterpart of these cases, the administrative case. Kung matatalo rin po ako sa SC, sana po, para hindi na ako magdusa pa, maDesisyonan na itong Kasong ito po. Ganun din lang ang mangyayari. RELIEF PREMISES CONSIDERED, it is most respectfully prayed to this Honorable Court, that the instant

Very Urgent Ex-Parte/Non-Litigated Motion (Of Course)


To Set Case for Hearing - with - Prayer for Early Resolution / (Constitutional) Speedy Disposition of these Consolidated Cases - be granted, and these cases be set for hearing on at least 3 different trial dates. It is specifically prayed that Judge Floro and all the parties, through their counsel be granted 30 minutes (as he and Atty. Guardiano for defendants were granted the right by Judge Francisco) to expound, articulate and elaborate on their positions on the issues the hearings to be set. Other relief and remedies are likewise prayed for. Malolos City, Bulacan, for Manila, July 20, 2010.

DECISION / Cancellation of Adverse Claim on the subject 2 titles of the three involved in T-316135 (M), & T-316136 (M)-BULACAN this suit, and states, that: NO OPPOSITION WHATSOEVER WAS FILLED TO CHALLENGE THE OMNIBUS MOTIONS (DESPITE THE COURTS ORDER); NO EVIDENCE WAS EVER PRESENTED BY DEFENDANTS SINCE THESE CASES WERE FILED, UNTIL TODAY.
1.

At the May 29, 2007 hearing of the subject

OMNIBUS MOTIONS dated 22 June, 2007, all defendants failed to appear despite due notice; the Court, therefore, gave them 5 days to file comments/oppositions thereto, as it ordered that: xxx thereafter,
the pending incidents will be deemed submitted for resolution. (Annex A hereof).
2.

The process server of this Court duly served the

said Order upon all defendants, through their counsels, on May 31 - Page 8 -

/June 1, 2007, as evidenced by the RETURN OF SERVICE dated June 1, 2007 (Annex B hereof). Accordingly, defendants had until June 6, 2007, to file the required pleadings. But until today, defendants never filed any pleading/OPPOSITION to plaintiffs OMINIBUS MOTIONS.
3.

The mailing clerk of this Court also mailed the

Order of the Court to Mr. Mariano P. Blanco and his counsel, Atty. Donato Mabbayad, # 14, on June 1, 2007 as evidenced by the mailing paper, # 8 (Annex C hereof).
4.

On June 4, 2007, defendant Mariano P. Blanco

filed the WITHDRAWAL OF APPEARANCE of his counsel, Atty.


Donato Mabayad, dated April 12, 2007; the Court NOTED said pleading, and the defendants are hereby required to secure the services of a new counsel to represent them in the aforesaid cases. (Annex D hereof). The Order was mailed by the clerk to defendants Rodel Gil Villarico, Mariano P. Blanco and Atty. Donato Mabbayad, on June 13, 2007 (as evidenced by the mailing paper, # 866, 867 & 868, Annex E hereof).
5.

Considering that the ORDER of the Court to file

OPPOSITION was not obeyed, and since the same was binding upon defendants, more specifically, upon Mr. Blanco, even if his counsel withdrew, as he was notified thereof (since the Orders were mailed to him by the Court per the clerk on June 1 and June 13, respectively), ergo, the instant OMNIBUS MOTIONS, per force, with all due respect, must accordingly be GRANTED, as a matter of course, and on the merits thereof. NO EVIDENCE WAS EVER PRESENTED BY DEFENDANTS SINCE THESE CASES WERE FILED, UNTIL TODAY. STRIPPED of unessential details, the instant consolidated cases are simple.

SPECIAL CIVIL ACTION/CIVIL CASE NO. 938-M-98. On September 30, 1998, petitioner Judge FLORO filed the first case against respondents spouses MARIANO P. BLANCO, the Provincial Prosecutor, and Br. 1, MTC, Meycauayan, Bulacan Judge Orlando PAGUIO (now retired and replaced by Judge CEDILLO). In essence, petitioner Judge FLORO asked the Court to grant him the following RELIEFS:
a.) Declaring the subject real estate mortgage (dated 5

January, 1995, admitted Exhibits B/B-1, ANNEX B/B-1 of the Petition) between Milagros FLORO, mother of Judge Floro, Joselito FLORO, his brother & defendants BLANCOS, null and void; consequently, to declare the subject 3 titles (ANNEXES/EXHIBITS F, D-1, & D-2) quiet/clean and free, and at the same time, to cancel/annul the annotated adverse claim by the defendants BLANCOS therein;
b.) Declaring null and void the subpoena, warrant of

arrest,

and

permanently

ENJOINING

respondents

Provincial Prosecutor & MTC, Br. 1, Meycauayan, BULACAN, from continuing with, and to DISMISS with finality/with prejudice, the counterpart CRIMINAL CASE NO. 98-27027 against Judge FLORO, INTER ALIA. Petitioner Judge FLORO also filed additional pleadings which included/added as co-defendants, ATTY. RODEL GIL VILLARICO & JOSELITO V. FLORO. Later, petitioner Judge FLORO, in accordance with the Rules, filed the AMENDED COMPLAINT on October 9, 1998 (pages 123-132, records).

- Page 10 -

After the filing of responsive pleadings by adverse parties, the case was set for pre-trials and trials. The case was later heard by BR. 80, RTC, Malolos, BULACAN. The case dragged for more than 4 years, since the parties exerted all efforts to amicably settle the case, but the efforts failed. N. B. Per Order dated April 26, 1999, Br. 9, RTC Judge Masadao INHIBITED himself and transmitted this case to Br. 80, RTC, Malolos. LRC CASE NO. P-405-98. The counterpart LRC case was filed by petitioner Judge FLORO on September 28, 1998. It prayed for the cancellation of the annotated ADVERSE CLAIM of respondents BLANCOS at the back of the subject titles (ANNEXES/EXHIBITS F/F-1, D-1 & D-2). The case was set for INITIAL HEARING on December 8, 1998; the petitioner Judge FLORO marked in evidence ANNEXES A to I of the petition as EXHIBITS A to I, thereby complying with/submitting the JURISDICTIONAL REQUIREMENTS. (TSN dated 8 December, 1998, pp. 1 7). On March 4, 1999, petitioner Judge FLORO testified on DIRECT EXAMINATION (TSN dated 4 March 1999, pp. 3 31). THE CRITICAL FACT --On May 11, 1999, both parties through their counsels, in obedience to the ORDER of the Court dated 21, April 1999 (Vide: TSN dated 21 April 1999, pp. 2-22) duly SUBMITTED the signed JOINT STIPULATION OF FACTS & MEMORANDUM, 3 pages; while Atty. Rafael Santos, Jr., counsel of record of the respondents BLANCOS duly filed his COMMENT thereto on even date, May 11, 1999.

- Page 11 -

On May 25, 1999, Br. 19, RTC, acting upon the JOINT MOTION FOR CONSOLIDATION, ordered the CONSOLIDATION of this case with CIV. CASE No. 938-M-98, Br. 80, RTC, Malolos. CONSOLIDATED CASES NOS. 938-M-98 & P-405-98 :
Pursuant to A.M. No. 03-9-537, Br. 80, RTC was made a drugs court, and thus, these cases were re-raffled to BRS. 15 & 16; however, due to the fact that these cases were consolidated and could not be split, Br. 15 issued an Order dated 23, January 2004, transmitting its case to Br. 16; hence, these two consolidated cases are now pending at Br. 16, RTC, Malolos.

RELEVANT ANTECEDENTS In the order dated March 19, 1999, the Court declared defendant Joselito V. FLoro in DEFAULT for failure to file answer. Atty. Rodel Gil Villarico, defendant, was formerly represented by Atty. Ernesto P. Fernandez; the latter withdrew and was allowed by the Court (Br. 16, RTC, Malolos, Bulacan) to be substituted by Atty. Donato Mabbayad***, who represented all defendants/respondents as their counsel of record; Atty. Villarico filed the pre-trial brief and his ANSWER on December 10, 1998. *** Atty. DONATO MABBAYAD formally entered his appearance as counsel of record for all defendants (substituting the
deceased Atty. Rafael Santos), at the hearing of August 26, 2002 (pp. 359-361 records).

On October 19, 1998, public respondent provincial prosecutor filed his ANSWER/COMMENT/OPPOSITION. PRE-TRIAL/TRIAL The pre-trial was conducted and was TERMINATED per Order dated 5 February, 2004. Atty. Ernesto Fernandez manifested that he withdrew

- Page 12 -

for client, defendant Atty. Rodel Gil Villarico, while Atty. DONATO MABBAYAD manifested in open court that he is appearing for ALL DEFENDANTS/ RESPONDENTS. The Court approved the withdrawal and substitution. Atty. Mabbayad/ defendants failed to appear at the hearing of March 4, 2004, despite due notice (of the Order personally served by the process server). The Court set the trials and plaintiff Judge FLORO finished his direct testimony on March 25, 2004. Atty. Sinfronio BARRANCO manifested that he is REPRODUCING Judge FLOROs entire testimony/evidences in P-405-98 in the consolidated CIV. Case # 938-M-98; Judge FLOROs additional DIRECT testimony was offered and received by the Court (TSN dated 25 March, 2004, pp. 1-5). Defendants/respondents/their counsel of record, Atty. Donato MABBAYAD failed to cross-examine plaintiff Judge FLORO despite the Courts orders and personal services thereof. (Vide: Court orders
dated 25 March & 17 June 2004, which were duly served upon them by process server LEO B. EBINA, by personal services). At the hearing of May 13, 2004, defendants/counsel also failed to appear despite due notice.

At the hearing dated 17 June, 2004, per manifestation and request of plaintiff Judge FLORO, through his counsel, Atty. Barranco, that since Judge FLORO, as counsel of record of co-petitioners spouses ALFREDO & FLORENTINA TRINIDAD, was appointed Judge as of November 4, 1998 (hence their lawyer-client relationship was deemed terminated by law), the Court ordered them to appear at the hearings and to hire services of counsel. (Vide: RETURN of service by process server LEO B. EBINA, dated June 23, 2004). Defendants/counsel also failed to appear at the hearing of July 29, 2004 (Vide: RETURNS of SERVICES dated August 9 & 11, 2004). At the hearing dated 12 August 2004, the Court granted plaintiff Judge FLOROs counsels oral motion for leave to file supplemental/appropriate pleading (cross-claim, etc.) against his copetitioners spouses TRINIDADS concerning admitted ANNEX H of the - Page 13 -

petition, the KASUNDUAN; the Court also ordered that the right of defendants to cross-examine Judge FLORO was deemed waived due to consistent failure on their part/counsel to appear at the trials, despite due notice. The court set the hearings for the reception of defendants evidence on September 13, 22, October 6 & 18, 2004. Exhibits A-8 & A-8-1, the 4 pages MANIFESTATION/ LETTER NOTICE dated July 21, 1993, with the registry receipts (both ORIGINALS) were marked and attached to the records. (This Order was duly served upon defendants through counsel Atty. Donato Mabbayad & to the spouses TRINIDADS, both by personal service of LEO B. EBINA, process server; vide return of personal service dated 6 September, 2004). At the hearing dated 13 September, 2004, the Court: a) ADMITTED plaintiffs (all) EXHIBITS A to I / sub-markings, for the purposes they were offered; and plaintiff Judge FLORO rested his case; b) ordered the initial presentation of respondents/defendants evidence on September 22, October 6 and 18, 2004; and c) ordered spouses TRINIDADS to engage the services of counsel and to appear at the scheduled hearings. (This order dated 13
September, 2004, was personally served by LEO B. EBINA on defendants/counsel, ATTY. D. MABBAYAD & the TRINIDADS; vide return dated 20 September, 2004). (Vide: also TSNs dated 25 March, 2004, pp. 1-5; dated 12 August, 2004, pp. 1-3 & dated 13 September, 2004, pp. 1-4).

Consolidated cases ordered submitted for partial/several judgment on September 22, 2004 (Secs. 3 & 4, Rule 36, Rules of Court): At the hearing dated 22 September, 2004, the Court: a) ordered the case
against all defendants/respondents deemed submitted for partial judgment and

that they have deemed waived their right to present evidence, due to their consistent failure to appear at the hearings despite due notices. REPRODUCED HEREUNDER are parts of the OMNIBUS MOTIONS, for reference purposes:

- Page 14 -

SUPERVENING EXTINCTIVE PRESCRIPTION (AND RESULTANT MOOT AND ACADEMIC) OF THE LOAN & MORTGAGE / ADVERSE CLAIM UPON THE SUBJECT TORRENS TITLES.
A. On January 5, 1995 defendants Joselito Floro (and deceased

Milagros Floro) and spouses BLANCOS entered into a principal written contract of LOAN and/with accessory REAL ESTATE MORTGAGE contract where the subject lots, covered by the subject titles [T-316135 (M), & T-316136 (M)-BULACAN, inter alia] of this case (from the cancelled mother title) was/were encumbered by said respondents, using the coowners title; the OWNERS duplicate certificates of titles were and are possessed by petitioner; (ADMITTED EXHIBITS, ANNEXES A, A-1, A-2 hereof, for reference).
B. The term of payment thereof is one year, thus, until January 6,

1996; the actions to foreclose the loan and/or to collect the sums of money due on that date accrued from that critical date of January 6, 1996; BUT RESPONDENTS slept on their rights: respondents BLANCOS never filed any action to collect the loan and/or to foreclose the mortgage until today, until January 7, 2006; hence, the LOAN and MORTGAGE as written principal and accessory obligations and contracts, PRESCRIBED due to EXTINCTIVE PRESCRIPTIONS on January 7, 2006; PRESCRIPTION legally CONVERTED the loan, contract and the lien of adverse claim MOOT and ACADEMIC, that is IT LEGALLY EXTINGUISHED THEM by operation of law; and NECESITATING NO DECLARATION FROM ANY COURT, IPSO FACTO, or by sheer PRONOUNCEMENT OF CIVIL LAW, specifically

Articles 1106, 1139, 1142, 1150, 1144, inter alia, THE LOAN, THE MORTGAGE and THE ADVERSE CLAIM LIENS WERE DULY EXTINGUISHED ON JANUARY 7, 2007, LEAVING NOTHING BUT THE MINISTERIAL TWIN DUTIES OF THIS COURT TO i) CANCEL THE ANNOTATED LIENS ON THE SUBJECT TITLES,

- Page 15 -

AND ii) TO PERMANENTLY ENJOIN / DISMISS THE CRIMINAL CASE AGAINST MOVANT / Joselito Floro. C. On September 7, 2005, this Court issued an INTERLOCUTORY Reconsideration Resolution which ruled that Petitioner /movant, in the interest of substantial justice, should be allowed to pay the required ADDITIONAL docket fees for the cancellation of mortgage due to the filing of amended complaint, within a reasonable time; movant received copy of the same, on October 10, 2006, which is not a final decision but a mere interlocutory order under Rule 36, of the Rules of Court (which defined decision or final judgment as that which finally settles a suit or controversy leaving nothing to be ruled upon), considering that the Court has yet to rule upon the adverse claim cancellation etc.
D. Considering that petitioner / movant DULY PAID all the required

legal, filing and docket fees for the LRC P 405 - 98 case, and for the special civil action with INJUNCTION case - CIVIL CASE No. 938M98, JURISPRUDENCE is settled on the matter, that when jurisdiction attaches / attached upon the full payment of legal, filing and docket fees and the timely filing of the pleadings, then, the subsequent amendment thereof or even the non-payment of the required additional fees, can and will never oust the court of jurisdiction it once acquired.
E. When the subject loan, mortgage and annotated adverse claims

were LEGALLY EXTINGUISHED by EXTINCTIVE PRESCRIPTION on January 7, 2006, ergo, the amended and supplemental pleading admitted by the Court which required payment of additional fees (contested by movant at that time), became LEGALLY MOOT AND ACADEMIC, for the Court cannot legally annul or declare void or voidable, the principal contract of loan, the accessory real estate mortgage contract, and the real right of annotated adverse claim on the subject titles, which are and were legally EXTINCT: in other words, MOOT and ACADEMIC. To be clearer, movant states with legal certainty that the subjects of this suit LOAN, MORTGAGE and ADVERSE CLAIM - prescribed, had been legally - Page 16 -

extinguished by EXTINCTIVE PRESCRIPTION, and the filed amended pleading to cancel the mortgage was LEGALLY converted on January 7, 2006, into a MOOT and ACADEMIC complaint; the COURT cannot anymore rule on moot and academic cases and accordingly the Clerk of Court or this Court can no longer require payment of any docket, filing or additional legal fees to cancel academically an EXTINCT loan, mortgage as extinguished contracts and the moot adverse claim liens. RELIEF PREMISES CONSIDERED, it is most respectfully prayed to this Honorable Court, that after due notice and hearing, judgment / RESOLUTION be rendered / promulgated:
1) DIRECTING

THE

BRANCH

REGISTER OF DEEDS OF MEYCAUAYAN, BULACAN TO CANCEL THE ANNOTATED ADVERSE CLAIMS ON T-316135 (M), & T-316136 (M)-BULACAN, AND DECLARING THESE TITLES FREE FROM ALL LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES, and
2) TO DIRECT PUBLIC RESPONDENT MTC, BR. I, JUDGE TO
