Mary Christine Jolly files concubinage complaint against Derek, Angelica

MANILA, Philippines – Mary Christine Jolly, the estranged wife of Derek Ramsay, has filed a concubinage complaint against the actor and his ex-girlfriend Angelica Panganiban.

According to a report from ABS-CBN, Mary Christine went to the Parañaque Prosecutor’s Office on Wednesday, October 8, to file the complaint.

In her complaint, she said that a Star Studio interview led to her decision to file. According to the interview, Derek and Angelica decided to live together during the second year of their relationship. Derek and Christine were married in 2002.

Derek and Angelica were together for 6 years before breaking up. Angelica is now in a relationship with actor John Lloyd Cruz.

Mary Christine said that Angelica’s interview in the magazine was enough evidence for her to file the complaint. However, she clarified she has nothing against the actress.

Angelica’s lawyer told ABS-CBN in a statement that the actress “has no comment at this time” as she has not yet received a statement.
