    The TRO, which will run for 20 days, is the band's answer to Lizza's alleged unceasing attempts to claim ownership of their band name, which Mark said he originally created 15 years ago along with Rivermaya's original members Bamboo Manalac, Rico Blanco, Perfecto de Castro and Nathan Azarcon.

    Mark added that negotiations with Nakpil seem improbable because ''sinasabi niya her doors are open but [then] she [had] intentionally misled people.''

    ''Alam nila [Jolina, her family, and Mark's family] 'yung bigat ng pinagdadaaanan namin.
