MANIFESTATION
Petitioners in GR No. 252585, by undersigned, to this Honorable Court, most respectfully aver:
1. On July 17, 2020 Petitioners in GR No. 252585 (Zarate Petition) received through electronic mail the Consolidated Comment filed by the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG).
2. In par. 176 of the Consolidated Comment, the OSG averred that the Zarate Petition has no attached Verification and Certification Against Forum Shopping.
3. Petitioner checked the copy they have filed with the Supreme Court on July 6, 2020, at 12:13PM, and the same definitely contains the Verification and Certification Against Forum Shopping of all the petitioners in the Zarate Petition. Attached herein is a copy of said receiving copy of the Petition with the Verification and Certification (sans annexes) for easy reference. A perusal of the Verification and Certification would show that the date of notarization is the same as the date of the filing of the Petition, or July 6, 2020.
4. If the furnished copy to the Respondents, including the OSG, is without any Verification and Certification Against Forum Shopping attached to the Petition, then such instance is due only to inadvertence, and not in any way intentionally done to violate the rules of procedure.
5. The Zarate Petition definitely complied with the Rules of Court pertaining to the submission of verification and certification against forum shopping, under Rule 7 Sections 4 and 5 of the Rules. Indeed, the Zarate Petition is both verified, in accordance with Rule 7 Section 4, as well as certified, in accordance with Rule 7 Section 5. The verification and certification were simultaneously filed with the Petition, on July 6, 2020 at 12:13PM, as required under the aforesaid rules.

WHEREFORE, premises considered, Petitioners respectfully pray that the Honorable Court NOTE the foregoing MANIFESTATION.
Respectfully submitted.
