5 STITCHES.
FEB 9, 2007. Midterm examination
I FAILED! i wasn't aware that we will be having our midterm exam (today). i know that what happened to me is not an excuse. T_T even though i don't know much and not prepared, still i took the exam. i hate taking special exams anyway.
FEB 28, 2007. First day of Hearing
We've seeked advises from different Attorneys, and they told us that their appearance is unnecessary since it is only a settlement. In short, we went to hearing without an Atty.
the moment of truth. the fiscal asked me where it happened and i answered. i thought he will ask me / us to tell the whole story but unfortunately he did not. The fiscal checked, read and investigate our medico legal and police statement.
"naguguluhan ako sa police statement mo/nyo, baguhin nyo `to, hindi ko alam kung sino sa inyong dalawa ang nagsasalita eh. ano ba to? ah joint pala." fiscal said.
"yan po kasi ung ginawa ng police eh" i answered.
"may chance din na mabago `tong statement mo dito sa gagawin mong bago", fiscal insist.
"eh paano ka ba napalo?" fiscal asked.
"nakatalikod po" i replied.
"eh base dito sa medico legal mo puro pasa lang inabot mo eh", fiscal teased.
"may 5 stitches po ako sa ulo" i insist.
"eh.., sa Dr. na gumawa nyan ang kausapin mo". said the fiscal. then my opponents Atty. said,
"eh yung mga ganyan, usually 9-10 days lang tinatagal eh", (acted boastfully)
the fiscal said, "i
nitial lang tong medical certificate mo, ang kailangan ko is ung permanent medical certified", then i told the fiscal i have my insurance with me, certifying my attending physician's treatment given to me. then the fiscal harshly said,
"ay hindi, sa susunod mo na ipresent yan, ung mga evidences mo".
"so ok no, sa ganitong kaso kung magkakaayos kayo ngayon, ay yun ay kung magkakasundo kayo. so dapat sa inyo manggaling ung initial offer nyo (my opponents) to settle this matter" he continued.
"ay hindi, iprepresent ko muna yung evidences ko bago ako makipag settle sa kanila" i dictate.
then their Atty. acting so confident and boastfully said,
"ay kung ganyan din pala, eh di magfifile kami ng counter affidavit". and i bravely answered,
"OK".
MARCH 14, 2007. second day of hearing
I have my Atty. My friends were also present; like what i've said, i have all the necessary documents needed. the opponent's Atty. was not present, and also, they failed to file their counter affidavit.
My Atty. gave them another chance to file their counter affidavit and we will be having our final hearing. Oh well, sounds interesting.
