After 13 years, the marriage of Kapamilya star Jodi Sta. Maria to Panfilo "Pampi" Lacson Jr., the son of Senator Panfilo Lacson, was annulled.

Jodi took to social media on June 9 to express her heartfelt gratitude, acknowledging the Supreme Court for their pivotal role in granting her petition to nullify her marriage to Pampi.

It will be remembered that Jodi and Pampi married in Las Vegas, Nevada, in 2005 and separated in March 2011.

After the breakup, Pampi was in a relationship with actress Iwa Moto, while Jodi was linked to Raymart Santiago.

Jodi's full post on Instagram:

"Finally after 13 years of waiting, my petition for nullity of marriage has been granted by the Supreme Court.

"It was indeed a test of faith and trust -- FAITH in God’s promises and TRUST in God’s timing.

"The time I spent in His waiting room was never easy nor was it comfortable. It was frustrating, discouraging, and even heartbreaking. I cried, prayed, questioned and complained. I made “tampo,” asked for forgiveness, prayed some more. I wanted to give up but He never let go of me.

"Looking back it was His grace that sustained and carried me. He had a purpose for the waiting. And that was made clear to me by the Lord.

"I know some of you might be in His waiting room. May I encourage you with this? “When the time is right, I, the Lord, will make it happen.” - Isaiah 60:22

"God is never in a hurry. He is never too late. Never too early. Believe He is able to do something about your situation. Trust He has a plan for you and that plan is even better than the one you have for yourself.

"And when God finally calls you out of the waiting room, don’t forget to thank Him and give Him all the glory.

"Before I end this already lengthy post, please allow me to thank the people who were with me on this journey. My prayer warriors you guys know who you are - salamat for standing with me in prayer. And to my lawyer and friend, @conniejaquino of Calleja Law Office, for the guidance, patience, and friendship. Thank you for never giving up on my case.

"Now I can finally say…CASE CLOSED."
