After almost a year in jail for an estafa case, veteran actor Ricardo Cepeda was released on Thursday, Sept. 20, according to actress Marina Benipayo.
On her social media accounts, Benipayo confirmed the news through a video showing the two dancing to Elvis Presley’s hit “Don’t Be Cruel.”
“Richard is coming home, finally!!!! Thank you, God, for your continuing guidance. You never abandoned us despite the challenge. I’m thankful for the strength you have given us throughout,” the actress wrote.
Benipayo also expressed her gratitude to those who prayed with her for her husband’s release.
“He’s finally going home! Thank you for your prayers,” she captioned on Instagram.
Cepeda was released after posting bail, having been arrested 11 months ago.
“Having posted cash bond duly approved by this Court, the Warden of the Cagayan Provincial Jail, Tuguegarao City, Cagayan, is ordered to RELEASE the accused on provisional liberty unless held for some other lawful cause,” the resolution read.
