    ISSUE: WON petr Antonio has established his cause of action to declare his marriage to the
    resp null & void on the ground of psychological incapacity under the Molina guidelines.
    HELD: Yes. The root cause of Reyes’ psychological incapacity have been medically or

    incapacity of his wife;

    tenets of relationship between spouses based on love, trust, and respect.
    Sixth, that the CA clearly erred when it failed to take into consideration the fact that the
    marriage was annulled by the Catholic Church. However, it is the factual findings of the

    recognition by this Court.

    but her behavior remains unchanged.
