                                             ORDER
       This refers to the Verified Petition for Custody with Temporary
Protection Order (TPO) filed by Petitioner on January 9, 2019. In her
Prayer, Petitioner prays that a Temporary Protection Order be issued
directing that temporary custody of James Andres Encabo and May Ann
Andress Encabo be given to her; and directing Respondent to stay away
from her residence in Cabanatuan City, school, place of employment of the
petitioner, the children and any of the family members.
      The Court resolves not to grant the Temporary Protection Order ex-
parte. The Court believes that a hearing is necessary before the Court may
grant her TPO prayer so that she can adduce her evidence including the
presentation of her witnesses if necessary. The petitioner is directed to
submit her judicial affidavit as well as of her witnesses at least three days
before the scheduled hearing.
      Wherefore, hearing for TPO is set on January 29, 2019, Tuesday at
8:30 a.m.
      NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN requiring the RESPONDENT to file his
Opposition to the TPO as well as to the action for Custody, within five (5)
days from service of this ORDER, together with a copy of the Petition and
its annexes.
      Let copy of this Order and the Petition be served upon the
Respondent personally and immediately by the Branch Sheriff of this Court.
The sheriff is likewise directed to coordinate with the Petitioner in order for
him to be aware of the last known address of the Respondent if there are
changes to the address mentioned in the Petition. Where the notice could
not be served personally or by substituted service despite diligent efforts,
Rule 14 of the Rules of Court shall apply as far as practicable.
     The Social Worker from LSWDO of Cabanatuan City is directed to
appear on the hearing on January 29, 2019. Let a copy of this Order be
served to the Social Worker as well.
    Set the Preliminary         Conference    on    February    20,2019,
Wednesday at 8:30 a.m.
     The Branch Clerk of Court is directed to issue the Notice of hearing
for TPO and the Preliminary Conference to all the parties and their
respective counsels if any.
     SO ORDERED.
