I, DIONISIO ALCALA, of legal age, Filipino, and with office address located at 35th Floor, Atlanta Centre, 31 Annapolis Street, San Juan City, after having been duly sworn in accordance with law, do hereby depose and say: 1. I am a Filipino citizen and a Marketing Consultant of Atlanta Industries, Inc. 2. I have known HWANG, MUANG HWA, also known as Candy Hwang, the petitioner in the above-entitled Petition for naturalization, since she arrived in the Philippines because we have a common friend. 3. I know for a fact that HWANG, MUANG Hwa has been residing in the City of Manila since January of 1993. 4. I know HWANG, MUANG HWA to be a woman of good morals, and has conducted herself in a proper and irreproachable manner during the entire period of time that I have known her. 5. She has expressed to me for many years now her genuine desire to become a Filipino citizen because she has lived here practically since 1993 and is the operations manager of a famous restaurant, Healthy Shabu-Shabu. She has also sent her children to Philippine school. She has also invested in real estate by acquiring a condominium in the City of Manila. She has mingled and befriended many Filipinos and grew up embracing and embodying the customs, traditions and ideals of the Filipinos. She speaks and writes English and understands Pilipino. 6. I know she earns enough to support herself and her family, and she will not be a burden or an embarrassment to society and the Philippine government. 7. I know of no reason why HWANG, MUANG HWA should not be admitted as a citizen of the Philippines. I am willing to vouch for HWANG, MUANG HWA and to testify for and on her behalf during the hearings of her Petition for naturalization. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my signature this 18th day of March 2011 in City of Manila. (Sgd.) DIONISIO ALCALA |
