Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, March 18) – Actor Kit Thompson is currently being held under police after beating his girlfriend at a hotel in Tagaytay City, police said Friday.
In an interview with CNN Philippines, Rolando Baula – head of the Tagaytay Police – said that this morning the authorities received an emergency call from the establishment to seek help for the victim, actress Ana Jalandoni.
The first police investigation said Jalandoni received several bruises and was rushed to a nearby medical center.
Her family said they were ready to sue the actor.
Later in the day, the actress posted on social media a photo of her with a badly broken face.
“If you love someone, you’ll never hurt him. Minahal mo ba talaga (Do you really like her)?” they are written.
“This I say, you should all be careful out there … I will publish a statement soon.”
Thompson’s camp has yet to issue a statement.
The women’s group Gabriela, meanwhile, has expressed concern over the report – stressing that nothing can “justify acts of violence by its partners on women.”
“This unfortunate news comes at a time when we are celebrating Women’s Month,” it said in a statement.
Thompson and Jalandoni publicly confirmed their relationship in December last year.
