The Quezon City RTC issued a resolution granting the petition for interim measures of protection filed by VIVA Artists Agency, Inc. directing Nadine Lustre to honor and uphold her contractual obligations with VIVA... (1/2)

(2/2) ...and to cease and desist from entering into contracts and/or performing acts for third parties for her services as an artist / endorser without VIVA’s
consent and participation.

In its Resolution, the Court found Nadine’s contract to be valid and subsisting.

Atty. Paolo Roxas, Viva's legal counsel: “With the Court’s ruling, Nadine is precluded from entering into and/or performing contracts involving her services as an artist / endorser, without the consent and participation of VIVA."

Viva camp: "As provided by her contract, any issue raised by Nadine against VIVA should be the subject of arbitration proceedings.”

Statement of Atty. Lorna Kapunan, Nadine Lustre's legal counsel:

"Court denied Viva’s claims for attachment and garnishment of Nadine’s hard earned earnings and her Bank accounts - this is a Victory for Nadine."

Lustre's camp: "The Court however granted Viva a Status Quo order in consideration of rights of Third parties prior to Nadine’s termination of its Contract with Viva - but the issue of whether there still is a valid Contract between Viva and Nadine was not decided by the Court.."

Lustre's camp: "which said that this issue is subject to arbitration proceedings & not the court. Nadine has fulfilled and continues to respect the prior contracts with Third parties even after she terminated the Agreement with Viva for various material breach committed by Viva."

FULL REPORT: The regional trial court of Quezon City has upheld the validity of Nadine Lustre’s contract with Viva Artists Agency.
