Plaintiff is a foreign corporation organized and existing under the laws of F rance with business address at 111 Ocean Drive, Tuna Compound, Quezon City; Defendant is a Filipino, of legal age, single and currently resident of 112 Ocean Drive, Tuna Compound, Quezon City, where he may be served with summons and other pertinent processes. 2. Plaintiff owns that property located at 112 Ocean Drive, Tuna Compound, Quezo n City which it leased to defendant under the terms and conditions stated in the Contract of Lea se dated 1 January 1995, which contract expires on 31 December 1996. A copy of the contract is attached a s ANNEX A. 3. Upon expiration of the contract, plaintiff informed defendant of its intentio n not to renew the lease as it would use the property for its business expansion; plaintiff then asked defen dant to vacate the premises. A copy of plaintiff s letter to defendant is attached as ANNEX B. 4. Despite demand duly made and received, defendant has refused to vacate the pr emises and continues to occupy the property without plaintiff s consent. Resort to the Barang ay conciliation system proved useless as defendant refused to appear before the Lupong Tagapamayapa. A Certifi cation to File Action is attached as ANNEX C. 5. Defendant s act of dispossession has caused plaintiff to suffer material injury because plaintiff s business expansion plans could not be implemented despite the arrival of machine ries specifically leased for this purpose at the rental rate of US$500 per month. Defendant s continued occupat ion of the premises has also forced plaintiff to sue and to incur legal expenses amounting to Fifty Thou sand Pesos (PHP50,000.00).

There is no other person named __( complainant s name )__ residing at ____________ nor is there any other person named __(complainant s name)__ , who has acted as Board Member of th e Association.

Thus, the prosecut ion must rely on the strength of its evidence and not wait for the accused to offer any defense. It is only in the ev ent that the prosecution, after resting its case, has adduced sufficient evidence of guilt, that the burden of p roof shifts to the accused.
