                    - versus -                                                                           Civil Case No. 111222

MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
TO FILE COMMENT TO OFFER OF EVIDENCE


          Defendant, by counsel, respectfully alleges that:

1.    On August 3, 2013, he received a copy of the plaintiff's Offer of Evidence dated July 25, 2013. Hence, pursuant to the order of the Honorable Court in open court during the July 22, 2013 hearing, defendant has five (5) days or until August 8, 2013 within which to file its Comment to the same;

2.    However, due to volume and pressure of work, coupled with other equally important and urgent professional commitments, the undersigned counsel cannot complete the said Comment to the Offer of Evidence within the period required and will need an additional ten (10) days from August 8, 2013 or until August 18, 2013 within which to do so; 

3.    This motion is being filed due to the reason above-stated and not for the purpose of delaying the instant case.  

         WHEREFORE, defendant prays that he be granted an additional ten (10) days from August 8, 2013 or until August 18, 2013 within which to submit a Comment to the Offer of Evidence.
  
  Quezon City, Philippines. August 30, 2013.
