UnMarry

Annulment.

Controversial.

Convoluted.

Complicated.

The spelling alone is quite confusing.

Double N, single I?

Single N, double I?

Double N, double I?

Or single N?

Or single N and single I?

I still use spell check sometimes.

In the Philippines, where there's no divorce law,

why resort to annulment?

Who can nullify a marriage?

Is this only for celebrities,

the moneyed,

the elite,

or for everyone?

What is its step-by-step process?

Most of all, the big question.

Is it really worth it?

We'll discuss and dissect all this

for today's video.

I'm Attorney Jackie Lombridas,

and this is.

No Flaw in the Law!

The most common grounds for annulment, as I'm sure you must have heard before,

is psychological incapacity.

When filing for an annulment,

what should you do first?

What else?

Get a good lawyer!

Sorry.

Excuse me.

Do I stink?

You smell the same as my husband.

Good or bad?

I don't know, but my head hurts.

Excuse me!

The receptionist isn't here yet.

Hi! Are you here for the 2:00 p.m. appointment?

Yes. Ms. Santos.

I texted Jackie I'm here now.

Attorney Willie, the 2:00 p.m. annulment cases are here.

Ma'am, here's some HerbAmazing Mushroom Coffee.

It's good for your body. It helps you lose weight and helps with insomnia.

We also have moringa tea. This is perfect for you.

- Hold on. - Try it.

Mr. Buencamino.

Mrs. Alcaraz.

Jackie herself texted me. She told me two.

Attorney Willie, I believe you scheduled me for 2:00 p.m.

Yes, two…

Attorney.

- Attorney Willie Bautista! - Yes...

How could you let this happen?

- Now I have two clients at two! - Yes, boss... I mean, Attorney.

Yes, 2:00 p.m.

Aren't you in charge of clients? Did you not check the schedule with Janice?

- Yes, I did. It's my fault. I... - This is unprofessional!

Hello?

I am so sorry.

This won't happen again.

So, who can go first?

- I have to pick up my kid at four. - I'm picking my kids up at four.

Please, be considerate.

My job's at stake here.

In making a petition for annulment,

you need to tell the whole story.

History.

Beginning to end.

It's like talking to Ms. Charo, the TV counselor host.

Aunt Charo, if you're Gen Z.

I want my business.

If I can keep all of it, or at least half, maybe?

And I want control.

I can't stop Maya from filing for annulment.

All I want

is for us to reach an agreement with regard to my son.

I deserve a chance to be Elio's dad.

How did it begin?

I met Stephen at a baking fair I joined back then.

He tried our best-selling cheese rolls,

and, of course, he liked them.

He offered to buy all our goods in exchange for my number,

offered help with branding,

marketing…

Foolish me agreed just to make a sale.

How it ended.

Why did you separate?

Isn't it enough to say I don't love him anymore?

She says she doesn't love me anymore.

We want details.

Complete.

Convincing.

Compelling.

And what do you do, Mrs. Alca...

I mean, Ms. Santos?

Well, I'm a businesswoman.

I think.

That is, if Stephen doesn't take back our business.

You're a culinary arts graduate.

You're a chef.

Not anymore.

I swear, Attorney, I have a job now.

What are you into now, Ivan?

Glass blowing?

Wedding videography?

Don't tell me you're doing bird photography now?

Rogue Ink.

That's where I work.

Tattoo?

Comic book illustration.

Make sure you don't quit this time.

Of course not! I'm dead serious now.

I'm serious, too.

You need a steady job to win against Maya.

You're up against a top news anchor in the Philippines.

That's why you're my lawyer, right?

Exactly.

Thank you for trusting me with this case, Ms. Santos.

How did you hear about me?

Google.

Oh, yes. My current viral case

with the popular actor versus fast food mascot?

With the polygamist politician versus his 9 wives and 43 children?

Politician versus the massage parlor?

Plastic...

Ah, yes!

Plastic surgeon versus the come backing pop star.

Plastic surgeon versus the flat-chested sexy star?

Plastic surgeon versus the Guadalupe residents hit by her billboard!

- The plastic surgeon… - I knew it.

…Is my mother-in-law.

Dr. Alcaraz.

I figured if you could beat someone as rich and powerful as she is,

then I have a chance against their family.

That's why, Ms. Celine Santos,

I am the perfect lawyer for this case.

Can you subscribe to my YouTube channel?

So we can fix our door? It broke last week.

Aside from weight loss, sir,

it will also protect you from Wi-Fi.

It has mitochondria energy cells.

- I can give you a discount. - Thank you.

- If you're buying a lot. - Good luck.

Ma'am.

Pressing harder won't speed that up.

It must be broken.

You've been here the whole time I was in Jackie's office?

You got sales-talked, didn't you?

Things happened so fast.

What am I gonna do with mushroom coffee?

I own a café!

Which café?

Celine's.

Celine's?

The one famous for its cheese roll?

Wow!

Aren't you in a hurry?

I also have to pick up my child at four.

This is easy.

We're going down anyway.

The owner of Celine's,

a bourgeois?

Of course not.

I used to wade through floods back in college.

Besides, it's my husband who's rich.

I mean, ex.

Ex-husband.

You're the bourgeois one.

I know what you're wearing.

Your bag. Your shoes.

Even your perfume.

All those cost a fortune.

My wife bought these. She doesn't like my clothes.

I can't face Jackie in just a t-shirt.

Jackie?

You know each other well?

Yes, we're cousins.

That's why she's doing it for free.

Don't worry, she's the smartest among us cousins.

She'll make you win.

I know.

So what did you do?

You cheated, didn't you?

Of course not!

I wouldn't do that to my spouse.

What about you?

Nothing.

I didn't do anything.

He did me wrong, so I'm breaking free.

Did he fool you?

No.

Just plain crazy.

Now, the paperwork and filing,

we lawyers will take care of that.

File the petition at the local Regional Trial Court

where you or your spouse have lived for at least six months.

Jenny!
