PETITION
Petitioners, through the undersigned counsels and to this
Honorable Court, most respectfully moves to attach a supplemental
pleading in view of the Petition filed last April 25, 2022 in this
matter. This supplemental pleading seeks to add details from the
deficiency in the original pleading with regard to zonal value of the
subject property, as follows:
1. The zonal value of the subject property covered by Transfer
Certificate of Title No. 123456 at the Registry of Deeds of
Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija, District I as reflected in the
Bureau of Internal Revenue’s Official Assessment, DEPARTMENT
ORDER NO. 030- 2018 is worth Php. 2, 913, 741, 000. Worth
noting is that the subject property located in Barangay Bitas,
Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija is an 80-acre land (323, 749
square meters/ Php. 9,000.00 per square meter)
The supplemental pleading is merely an addition to the
original pleading and does not affect the substantive rights of the
parties. Pertinent provisions of Rule 10 of the Rules of Court
provide as follows:
Section 6. Supplemental pleadings. — Upon motion of a party
the court may, upon reasonable notice and upon such terms as
are just, permit him to serve a supplemental pleading setting
forth transactions, occurrences or events which have happened
since the date of the pleading sought to be supplemented. The
adverse party may plead thereto within ten (10) days from
notice of the order admitting the supplemental pleading. (6a)
Petitioner requests that this Court permit this supplemental
pleading in the interest of accuracy of the pleadings.
The substantial portion of the document reflecting the value
of the property is attached hereto as ANNEX “A”. WHEREFORE,
Petitioner respectfully requests that this Honorable Court grant its
Motion to Admit the Supplemental Pleading to add the zonal value
of the property in the petition.
