Based on official government documents from the NSO, a certain Derek Arthur Ramsay, which is the real name of Derek Ramsay, married Mary Christine Jolly in a civil wedding ceremony officiated by Balagtas, Bulacan Mayor Reinaldo Castro on April 3, 2002 in Balagtas, Bulacan, where Derek Ramsay was a resident then. Mary Christine Jolly is of Indian-Filipino ancestry, and was born in the Philippines. One thing that is pleasantly revealing though in all of these is knowing Derek Ramsay is a Filipino, as stated in his Marriage Contract Certificate. Derek Ramsay was born in England to a British father and a Filipino mother. Obviously, the legally married couple are not together now, with Derek Ramsay in a passionate 4-year relationship with Angelica Panganiban. Since Divorce is not recognized under Philippine Law, and no record of nullification of such marriage is annotated on their Marriage Certificate, and both are Filipino citizens, the marriage of Derek Ramsay and Mary Christine Jolly is still subsisting, valid and legal anywhere in the world. In short, Derek Ramsay cannot marry Angelica Panganiban until he gets an annulment of his marriage with Mary Christine Jolly. Here's an excerpt from the ABSCBN News "Alas-3 ng hapon, April 3, 2002 ikinasal si Derek Arthur Ramsay sa 21 anyos na si Mary Christine Jolly, isang Indian-Filipina na ipinanganak sa Las Piñas.
Ang kasalan ay naganap sa mayor's office ng Balagtas, Bulacan.
Nakapirma ang 2 testigo sa kasal at ang solemnizing officer ay ang dating Balagtas mayor na si Reinaldo Castro.
Sa pagsusuri ng marriage contract ng family lawyer na si Atty. Jean Ferry, legal pa ang kasal ni Derek.
“Their certificate of marriage has no annotation that is required. Then on its face, the marriage is still subsisting and still valid... He is still married,” sabi ni Ferry.
Ang mainit na rebelasyon, matapang at matatag na hinarap ngayon nina Derek at Angelica.
“My lawyer will be the one to take care of that. This is a very personal matter which I will share to everyone and have to face in the coming months,” sabi ni Ramsay.
Pinagkukunan ng lakas ni Derek ang mismong girlfriend na si Angelica Panganiban.
“For me, just like all the other intrigues that happen every month, I’m gonna focus on my work and for those who have been very supportive, I want to say, thank you, and let you know that she stands by me and our relationship is very very strong,” sabi ni Ramsay.
“Siyempre gusto naming harapin na masaya ‘di ba? So tina-try namin ang best namin na labanan ito na okay kami,” sabi naman ni Panganiban.
Tikom ang bibig ng tinutukoy na asawa ni Derek.
Nagkaroon man ng batik sa kanyang imahe, matapang at nagpakalalaki ngayon si Derek na hinarap ang hamon sa kanyang buhay at career. Ginger Conejero, Patrol ng Pilipino"
