SUPPLEMENTAL COMMENT/OPPOSITION ON THE


MOTION FOR ISSUANCE OF WRIT OF EXECUTION

Defendants ROBERT UY and NENE UY, represented by the Public


Attorney’s Office, unto this Honorable Court, by way of
comment/opposition to plaintiff’s “Motion for Issuance of Writ of
Execution”, most respectfully aver as follows:

1. A copy of the “Motion for Execution”, which plaintiffs filed through


their counsel, was furnished only to the defendants at their given address,
not to the undersigned public attorney. Plaintiffs’ counsel should have
been aware that the defendants are represented by the Public Attorney’s
Office-Valenzuela City District Office as a copy of the defendants’ “Answer
with Counterclaim” dated 13 September 2017, which bears the complete
address of said office, was sent by it to her through registered mail. The
undersigned public attorney learned about the filing of the “Motion for
Execution” only when the defendants conferred with him in his office
sometime last week and relayed to him their predicament relative to the
execution of their compromise agreement which plaintiffs seek.

2. It is so elementary that it hardly requires belaboring that where a


party appears by attorney in an action or proceeding in a court of record,
all notices required to be given therein must be given to the attorney of
record. Service upon any person other than the counsel of record is not
legally effective and binding upon the party, nor may it start the
corresponding reglementary period for the subsequent procedural steps
that may be taken by the attorney.1 Notice should be made upon the
counsel of record at his exact given address, to which notice of all kinds
emanating from the court should be sent in the absence of a proper and
adequate notice to the court of a change of address. 2

3. Thus, inasmuch as the undersigned public attorney, who is the
defendants’ counsel de oficio, was not given a copy of the plaintiffs’
“Motion for Issuance of Writ of Execution” it should have been treated as a
worthless piece of paper which the clerk of court has no right to receive
and which the court has no authority to act upon. It should be expunged
from the records

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is respectfully prayed unto


this Honorable Court that the instant comment/opposition to “Motion for
Issuance of Writ of Execution” be NOTED.

Other reliefs and remedies, just and equitable, are likewise prayed
for.
