Alice Eduardo is currently divorced. The name of her ex-husband is Noberto Vitangcol, and together they share three children named Jacqueline, Jameson, and Jessica Vitangkol.
Alice Eduardo, 58, is a Filipino millionaire businesswoman who is best known for being the founder, president, and CEO of Sta. Elena Construction and Development Corporation. In addition to her successful business career, Alice is also known for coming from a notable family in the Philippines, which contributes to the fame she enjoys today. However, this article gives an insight into her ex-husband and children.
Who is Alice Eduardo’s Husband?
As stated, Alice Eduardo currently does not have a husband but is divorced. Her ex-husband is a Filipino man identified as Noberto Vitangcol, who also works in the construction industry, just like her. Noberto Vitangcol is the Chief Executive officer and president of Structural Steel Inc., a steel construction and manufacturing company.
Apart from this, there is no further information about Alice’s ex-husband, especially as it regards his personal life and what he is currently up to since their split. It is difficult to get many facts about him because it was primarily his marriage to Alice that brought him to public knowledge, and now that the marriage had packed up, he went off the radar.
Alice and Her Ex-Husband, Noberto Vitangcol, Got Married in 1994 and Divorced in 2016
There is no record that shows where and when Alice and Noberto Vitangcol met for the first time, but it is public knowledge that the former couple walked down the aisle on the 4th of December 1994 at the Manila Cathedral in Intramuros, the city of Manila, Philippines.
Their marriage was coming along nicely until sometime in 2016 when Alice found out that her husband was previously married to another woman without her knowledge. She got to know about the previous marriage from a marriage contract recorded with the National Statistics Office (NSO).
According to the marriage contract, Noberto got married to a certain Gina M. Gaerlan (Gina) on the 17th of July 1987, seven years before they got married. Following that, Alice filed a criminal complaint for bigamy against him. However, Norberto Vitangcol presented a certification as evidence which stated that the office of the civil registrar does not have any record of the marriage license allegedly issued in his favor and Gina M. Gaerlan.
He further argued that his first marriage was void as there is no proof of the existence of its marriage license, hence, he is not guilty of bigamy. Another thing that established the crime of bigamy, in this case, was that Vitangcol failed to file a judicial declaration of nullity of his first marriage.
So, according to the supreme court ruling, that a marriage license certificate cannot be found does not in any way mean that it does not exist. It stated that the document with greater acceptance is the signed marriage contract which bears the marriage license number. “The certification of “cannot be found” will not exculpate him from bigamy”, the court ruled.
They, after all, got divorced, although the details of it and exactly when they finalized the processes are not known. While speaking to Karen Davila during an interview, the business magnate admitted that it was quite not an easy decision to leave her marriage as she would have chosen to do it, at least when their children were more grown and mature.
But she woke up one morning and just realized this was what she had to do for the sake of self-respect and also for her ex-husband’s peace of mind.
Alice Eduardo Have Three Children From Her Former Marriage
Alice Eduardo and Noberto Vitangcol’s marriage of 22 years was blessed with three children; a son named Jameson and two daughters named Jacqueline and Jessica Vitangcol. Their first child, a daughter Jessica was born in 1996, while Jameson was born in 1998 and Jessica in 2000. Alice is currently a single mother to her three children.
There is very little information known about Alice’s three children with her ex-husband other than the fact that their only son Jameson has autism. It is also not known what career path they individually are taking on. In the aforementioned interview, she had with Davila, the mother of three talked about how Jameson was diagnosed with autism when he was very young.
In the middle of this discussion, she had to pause for a while, perhaps to stop herself from breaking into tears before the camera. Alice said she remembered asking the pediatrician if he could still cure her son, only for the doctor to say it can only be managed, and upon hearing that, she broke into tears.
However, she has accepted the condition, although it initially seemed difficult for her to manage. “Every time I look at him then we pray together, [I feel like] everything’s okay,” Alice expressed. Meanwhile, Alice, despite her busy schedule, regularly makes out time to spend with her children and also posts some of their moments together on Instagram.
