A Taguig court has granted the petition of TV personality and beauty queen Maggie Wilson for the issuance of a temporary restraining order (TRO) against her husband Victor Consunji after officers from the latter’s company entered her home.

Last July 15, Wilson (real name Margaret Wilson) took to Instagram and said that at about 4 p.m. of that date, vice president Bernie Mendoza and Rommel Reyes, both belonging to the Victor Consunji Development Corp. (VCDC), and barangay officials of Bambang, Taguig “entered my home illegally with no notice, no warrant and no proper paperwork.”

Wilson lives in Acacia Estates in Taguig.

Wilson said according to the men, the property is owned by DMCI despite telling him several times that there is an existing contract for the property signed by Mendoza.

She added that the men took videos of her and her family’s belongings and said what happened was a “very real threat.”

Wilson filed a petition with a Taguig court for injunction with urgent application for a 72-hour TRO.

In an order issued on July 20, Executive Judge Antonio Olivete of the Taguig Regional Trial Court Branch 267 issued a 72-hour TRO against Consunji, VCDC, Mendoza, Reyes “and all persons acting on their behalf.”

In Wilson’s petition, the court stated that the “defendants tried to padlock the rented property of Petitioner Wilson whose purpose was to eject Petitioner Margaret N. Wilson including her son Connor Fernando Consunji, Ms. Elizabeth Wilson and others who were authorized to stay inside the said property.”

“The attempt of defendants in padlocking the property was unsuccessful after Petitioner Margaret N. Wilson reminded them about the existing lease contract over the property. The victory of Petitioner Margaret N. Wilson, however, was short-lived when defendants were able to successfully cut-off the electricity in the property several hours after leaving on the same date,” the order read.

It added, “Since it cannot be denied that a valid lease contract is existing and subsisting between the petitioner and the defendants, the Lease Contract should be respected by the parties wherein the lessor is obliged to maintain the lessee in the peaceful and adequate enjoyment of the leased premises for the entire duration of the contract.”

The court noted that “the attempt of the defendants to forcibly evict Petitioner Margaret N. Wilson from the rented property does not sit well with the court as there are existing remedies that are available to the defendants under the law.”

“The Prayer of Petitioner Margaret N. Wilson in the complaint for the Issuance of 72-Hour TRO, as prayed for under paragraph 83 hereof, is GRANTED,” the court said.

The court ordered Wilson to post a bond of P500,000 “to answer for all damages which the defendants may sustain by reason thereof.”
