unto the Honorable Court most respectfully file his Answer in response to the Complaint of the Plaintiff and interpose as well his defenses and counterclaim against the plaintiff, viz:
1. Defendant strongly denies the material allegations of the
complaint;
2. Defendant admitted that he had been a resident of Samara,
Aringay, La Union, since birth and when he reached the age of reason, he started occupying a parcel of land in that place then know as Sta. Lucia, Aringay, La Union; that years later, this parcel of land was designated as part of Santiago Sur, Caba, La Union due to a survey made by the government;
3. Defendant denies the allegations contained in paragraph 3. The
Defendant did not construct a residential house; however, he introduced more improvements on the property by cultivating the land, and in March 2006, he put up a “bahay kubo”; that in October 2006, he installed a fence made of “bolo” to secure the property; that in installing the fence, he was guided by the concrete monuments which he knew to be indicators of the boundaries of Plaintiff’s property;
4. Insofar as paragraph 7 of the Complaint, it was not correct to say
that the Defendant refused to vacate and surrender the premises despite receipt of the demand letters because in his letter-reply, he assured the Plaintiff that he would voluntarily vacate the premises if he would only be shown to have intruded into Plaintiff’s titled lot after the boundaries were pointed out to him;
5. Plaintiff was never in actual possession of the property occupied
by him, and it was only on October 31, 2006 when he discovered the al legccl intrusion;
6. Defendant had experienced harassment causing sleepless nights,
anxiety and besmirched reputation considering that he is a teacher. In this regard, the Plaintiff should be made liable to pay moral damages amounting thirty thousand pesos (P30,000.00);
7. In instituting this unwarranted and clearly unfounded suit
against the Defendant, Plaintiff had acted in a wanton, fraudulent, reckless and malevolent manner, by way of example or correction for the public good, Plaintiff should be made liable to pay Defendant exemplary damages in the total amount of fifty thousand pesos (P50,000.00);
8. As a further consequence of the malicious and wrongful filing of
the present action, Defendant was constrained to hire the services of counsel for a legal fee of fifty thousand pesos (P50,000.00), plus three thousand pesos (P3,000.00) per court appearance, and to incur expenses of litigation for which plaintiff should be made to pay. PRAYER
WHEREFORE, the defendant most respectfully prayed that
this Honorable Court find generally in Defendant’s favor and against the Plaintiff, that the Plaintiff take nothing by way of Plaintiff’s Complaint for Forcible Entry With Damages, and for such other further relief as the court deems just and proper.
