HON. JUDGE HUSGADO &
PEDRO CORPORATION,
Respondents.

MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE REPLY
with
COMPLIANCE
Petitioners, through counsel, and unto this Honorable Court,
most respectfully state:
1. On 1 September 2018, Petitioners, through counsel,
received the Comment to the Petition for Certiorari of Private
Respondent Guerrero Estate Development Corp.
2. In accordance with the Resolution of the Honorable Court,
the Petitioners have five (5) days upon receipt of Private
Respondent’s Comment within which to submit their Reply.
3. They have until 6 September 2018 to do so.
4. However, considering the voluminous documents
attached by the Private Respondent in their Comment, the
undersigned counsel needs additional time to thoroughly evaluate
the documents presented therein.
5. At the same time, he has to cope with tremendous
pressure of other equally urgent professional work requiring almost
daily trial appearances before the various courts within and outside
Metro Manila, preparation of pleadings and other time-intensive
activities,
6. Hence, in the interest of justice, Petitioners are
constrained to respectfully request from the Honorable Court an
1
additional period of fifteen (15) days, reckoned from 6 September
2018, or until 21 September 2018, within which to submit their Reply.
7. Rest assured, this motion is not being filed to delay the
proceeding, but only due to the reasons cited above.
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, Petitioners respectfully pray from the
Honorable Court that the request for an additional period of fifteen
(15) days, reckoned from 6 September 2018, or until 21 September
2018, within which to submit their Reply be GRANTED and their
manifestation by way of Compliance be NOTED by this Honorable
Court.
Other just and equitable reliefs under the premises are likewise
prayed for.
Respectfully submitted.
