Woman, 51, her "lover" charged with adultery

CEBU - Charges for adultery were filed against a 51-year-old woman and her 44-year-old lover yesterday before the Office of the Provincial Prosecutor after her husband caught them in the act of having sex inside a hut in Consolacion town last September 28.

Marcial Hidalgo, 58, a carpenter, and a resident of Consolacion, filed charges against his wife, Teresita, and her lover, Marlon Comiso, yesterday after the two were caught having sex inside the house of Comiso in the evening of September 28 in barangay Sacsac, Consolacion.

Marcial is the second husband of Teresita, with whom she has five children.

In his affidavit, Marcial said that he “had already known of the illicit affair of his wife with Comiso since February this year.” This was when he saw the two together in a videoke bar not far from their house, he said.

He also said that sometime in March, his wife left their house and lived with Comiso in sitio Manayataya, barangay Polog, Consolacion.

He said he even instructed his daughter to check on her mother, but his daughter came back with the news that the two had already left the said place.

Marcial added that he had already asked his wife to put an end to the affair for the sake of their children, but on September 28 he caught them in the act of having sex.

Prior to the incident, Marcial reported his concern to the Consolacion Police after learning that the two are living together in a house owned by a certain Boy Guaca in barangay Sacsac.

Police then went with Marcial to the said place where he saw his wife having sexual intercourse with Comiso inside the hut when he peeped through a hole on the wall.

Teresita and Comiso were both arrested and detained at the Consolacion Police Station for adultery. — Jasmin R. Uy/MEEV (THE FREEMAN)
