A Quezon City court has provisionally dismissed the charges of grave threats filed by estranged couple Raymart Santiago and Claudine Barretto against brothers Erwin, Raffy and Ben Tulfo in view of the couple’s failure to attend yesterday’s scheduled hearing.
Judge Lyn Ebora Cacha of the QC metropolitan Trial Court Branch 38 provisionally dismissed the case after granting the motion of Atty. Nelson Borja, counsel for Erwin, for the dismissal of the case.
Borja moved for the dismissal of the case after the complainants failed to appear in yesterday’s scheduled hearing. The lawyer added that the court has already issued a warning against the couple after they failed to appear in the pre-trial scheduled last September.
The case stemmed from the alleged threats uttered by the Tulfo brothers on their television show T3 on May 7, 2012, a day after the celebrity couple engaged in an altercation with Ramon Tulfo, the older brother of the respondents, at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
Borja said he is still ready to prove the innocence of the Tulfo brothers in case the Santiago couple decides to revive the case before its dismissal becomes final.
