CARMINA COMPLAINS ABOUT ROBIN PADILLA

Manila, May 14, 1998 - Carmina Villaroel can't hide the bitterness she felt when she learned that Robin Padilla and his family have taken up residence in the home she shared with estranged husband Rustom Padilla, according to Earl Blue of the Evening Tempo.

"They did not even inform me nor ask my permission. After all, that's conjugal property because Rustom and I bought it," Carmina said. "They should have shown me some respect by letting me know."

Rustom's camp claims that the actor does not need to inform Carmina of anything about the house, because Carmina stopped paying her share of the monthly amortization since she left here husband moved out of their conjugal home last year.

"Rustom's the sole source of all the expenses for the home now, and that's why there is no need to consult Carmina about Robin's temporary stay there," said a member of Rustom's staff.

Carmina has gone to court to have her marriage to Rustom annulled. The court fight is expected to be bitter.
