Liz, Protected by Court Order Against Willie

TV host-comedian Willie Revillame yesterday appeared during the pre-trial conference of the petition for annulment of marriage filed by estranged wife Liz Almoro before the Quezon City Regional Trial Court.

Revillame, accompanied by legal counsels Armando Marcelo and Maricris Pahate, presented himself to the sala of Branch 89 Judge Elsa de Guzman in response to the summon for him to appear in the pre-trial hearing.

Almoro, real name Floralice Almoro, filed the annulment case on October 3, a month after news broke out that she and Revillame had separated.

However, Judge De Guzman’s staff refused to reveal the grounds Almoro cited in her petition due to its confidentiality.

Aside from the annulment, Almoro also sought for a temporary protection order (TPO) asking the court to order Revillame to distance himself at least 300 meters from her and their child, Juamee, nearly one-year-old.

The Branch 89 sheriff served Revillame the TPO on the evening of Oct. 5 at his residence in Ayala Heights and ordered him to vacate the house.

Meanwhile, Branch 89 trial prosecutor Edgardo Paragua told People’s Tonight that pre-trial proceedings are usually conducted, so both parties can stipulate on evidences to be presented during trial.

But Paragua refused to discuss what transpired during the pre-trial hearing citing the court’s gag order.

He merely explained that the issuance of a TPO is basically connected with Republic Act 9262 or Violence Against Women and their Children.

Paragua also refused to reveal the reasons upon which Almoro sought for a TPO.

Paragua added that Almoro has also sought a permanent protection order (PPO) from the court since a TPO is only good for 20 days.

The actor and his legal counsels likewise refused to make any comment.
