Richard Gutierrez to appear in a court hearing of a 6-year-old case

The case was already dismissed 5 years ago for "lack of probable cause" and was reopened after the DOJ found Cruz and de Vera's petition "meritorious."

The Gutierrez brothers already pleaded "not guilty' in an arraignment held in November, 2010.

In a complaint affidavit filed by Cruz and de Vera, they alleged the Gutierrez brothers and other "John Does" as the ones who beat them up in a parking lot near the Embassy Club in January, 2005.

Amaya (GMA-7) ratings high but Mara Clara (ABS-CBN) still reigns

Amaya (GMA-7), the newest epicserye on Philippine primetime, debuted strong as evidenced by the ratings its premier episode got in a couple of surveys by AGB Nielsen. However, they were not enough to take away the number 1 spot from ABS-CBN's Mara Clara.

Amaya (GMA-7) vs Mara Clara (ABS-CBN)

On May 30, Marian Rivera's show scored a rating of 26.2 percent in the Household ratings and 14.3 percent in the People ratings. These may be high but they fell short in beating Mara Clara's 28.3 percent and 14.7 percent in the Household and People ratings, respectively.

The Kapamilya drama is still on top of the game leaving the new show from the Kapuso network in second place.
