Hot topic: Liz Uy tell-all prompts Dr. Ging Racaza's friend to issue receipts

On August 11, Liz Uy shared the story of "love" that she previously kept to herself in an interview with writer Irish Dizon.

The article, published by the Philippine Star, detailed her first encounter with businessman Raymond Racaza and how they came to have a family. Although unintended, Liz's pregnancy with baby Xavi sealed their connection and plans to build a future together.

Their romance began, according to the article, in May 2016:

When Liz met businessman Raymond Racaza in May 2016, she was a 34-year-old workaholic who had all but given up on finding 'The One.'

...

Liz told him she had just gone through a breakup, and he laid down his cards right away, saying he had come from a marriage that didn’t work, and that he has a daughter he loves more than life itself.

Short of a year later in February 2017, Liz found out she was pregnant. At that time, Dizon wrote that Raymond was already estranged from his wife.

Five days later,  a friend of Racaza's wife expressed shock at these claims. In a Facebook post,  Quezon City First District Councilor Dorothy "Doray" Delarmente said that the first hearing for the annulment between Raymond and his wife Dr. Geraldine "Ging" Zamora-Racaza was in May 2017.

"I felt your pain when he filed the annulment, and during the first court hearing last MAY 2017, and even more pain when the judge signed the petition last JANUARY 2018," Doray wrote.

A number of bloggers and Twitter users, whose curiosity were piqued by the Philippine Star article, also found pictures of Liz and Raymond in the same event in 2014. It is unclear if they were introduced at the said event.

Is Liz Uy a kabit? Just asking

Nagpabuntis si Liz Uy sa taong pamilyado na. Period. Let’s stop glorifying homewreckers please. @gmanews

I can't care less about Liz Uy but I find it problematic how she's getting all the flak for an affair which supposedly "ruined a family" when the man himself is a willing participant. Screw your puritanism.
