JUDICIAL AFFIDAVIT

I, TRINA VAHO , of legal age, married, Filipino Citizen and with


office address at Department of Psychiatry, Calbayog City, after
having been duly sworn to in accordance with law, hereby depose
and state that:

I am the psychiatrist engaged by the plaintiff in this case to

In relation to the above-entitled case, the counsel Atty. MARIA


RHODA C. OMBINA at her office located at Unit 69, JM Square C.V.

which questions I answered while I was in my clinic, fully conscious
that I did so under oath and that I may face perjury and any other
criminal liability for false testimony;

The questions asked by Atty. Maria Rhoda C. Ombina and the


answers I gave are as follows, to wit:

1. QUESTION (Q): Madam Witness, do you know the plaintiff in


this case?
ANSWER (A): Yes Ma’am.

2. Q: Why do you know her?
A: She came to my clinic sometime in May 2016 to request
for a psychiatric evaluation on her person and that of her
spouse in relation to a case of Declaration of Nullity of Marriage
that she had filed.

3. Q: Did you conduct a psychiatric study of the parties in this


case?
A: Yes Ma’am.

4. Q: Now, could you please tell us the manner by which you


conducted your study?
A: I did the standard procedure which was to do a detailed
psychiatric history and mental status examination by psychiatric
interviews with the petitioner. I also subjected the petitioner to a
battery of psychological tests. Collateral informants were
interviewed. The information gathered was then studied and
collated to make a written report.

5. Q: Who were the persons you interviewed?


A: I interviewed Mr. Hans Tsu, older brother of the petitioner
Ma’am.

6. Q: Were you able to interview the Defendant?


A: No Ma’am.

7. Q: Madam Witness, in connection with your study, what were


your findings insofar as the plaintiff is concerned?
A: I assess the petitioner to be suffering from a personality
disorder classified as a “PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE
PERSONALITY DISORDER COMORBID ANTISOCIAL
PERSONALITY DISORDER”.

8. Q: In terms that could be understood even by a layman, could


you please elaborate on the disorder of the plaintiff?
A: Passive-aggressive personality disorder is a long-term
(chronic) condition in which a person seems to actively comply
with the desires and needs of others, but actually passively
resists them. In the process, the person becomes increasingly
hostile and angry. Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), also
known as sociopathy, is a personality disorder characterized by
a long term pattern of disregard for, or violation of, the rights of
others. An impoverished moral sense or conscience is often
apparent, as well as a history of crime, legal problems, or
impulsive and aggressive behavior.

9. Q: This kind of disorder on the part of the plaintiff, is this


chronic?

your findings?

17. Q: How about the Defendant. Did you infer any findings as to
his personality?
A: Yes Ma’am.

personality of the Defendant?

PERSONALITY DISORDER WITH UNDERLYING
ANTISOCIAL FEATURES”.

you please elaborate on the disorder of the Defendant?

the American Psychiatric Association as a personality
