MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION
(to Set Aside Order of Default and
to Admit Attached Answer)
DEFENDANT, assisted by the Public Attorney's Office through the
undersigned counsel, most respectfully states that:
1. Defendant was declared to be in default on April 11, 2014 when she failed
to file her answer within the reglementary period. Herein attached as Annex
"1" is the said Order.
2. Defendant begs for a reconsideration of the said Order for the reason that
she did not receive a copy of the complaint nor any summons from this
Honorable Court regarding the above cited case. She only received on April
23, 2014 a copy of the Order dated April 11, 2014, already declaring her in
default. She immediately sought assistance from the Public Attorney's Office
to avail of any remedies.
3. In the interest of substantial justice and for the reason earlier stated,
defendant begs the compassion of this Honorable Court to admit her
attached Answer. Delay in the proceedings of this case was never intended.

PRAYER
WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is respectfully prayed of this
Honorable Court to set aside the Order of default and to admit the attached
Answer.

Other just and equitable remedies are likewise prayed for.

Makati, April 30, 2015.
Respectfully submitted.
