“Hindi na maayos yung relasyon [namin] dahil parati kaming nag-aaway, parati nya akong sinasaktan”
Eumir Marcial’s camp stated that the Olympic bronze medalist is prepared to confront all the accusations made against him directly, in response to social media posts by his wife, which alleged infidelity, manipulation, and physical abuse.
Princess, Marcial’s wife, took to social media to accuse him of infidelity, claiming he had an affair with a “young mistress” last year.
Princess Marcial announced in a Facebook post that she intends to present evidence against her husband in court.
Meanwhile, in a statement, Atty. Marlon Morada, the boxer’s lawyer, clarified that they have not yet received an official complaint or affidavit from her.
“Following the recent social media posts of Mr. Eumir Marcial’s wife, we advise Mr. Marcial to address or respond to the allegations against him in the proper forum. To date, our client has not yet received a formal complaint-affidavit from his wife or the appropriate government agency,” he said.
“Rest assured that as soon as we receive the complaint-affidavit, Mr. Marcial shall answer all the allegations against him head on. Despite the social media publication, Mr. Marcial chooses to keep family matters private and as such, shall address any and all allegations against him in the proper forum,” he added.
Morada emphasized that the two-time Olympian “remains focused in his career and will continuously bring honor and pride to our country and our kababayans.”
“Mr. Marcial hopes that he will be vindicated as he undergoes our due process. Thank you.”
On Saturday morning, Marcial defended himself, stating to the media that “not everything Princess said is true.”
“Kung sinasaktan ko siya, do you think na ganun ang mangyayari sa kaniya, na meron siyang pasa sa paa? Meron siyang [pasa sa mukha?] Aksidente ang nangyaring yun dahil pinoprotektahan ko yung sarili ko kaya nangyari yun,” Marcial said in a video uploaded by Brigada.
He also refuted claims that he used their joint savings account to construct a house for his alleged mistress.
“After Olympics, hindi ko man lang nabigyan ng maayos na pamumuhay yung magulang ko. Yung tatay ko, hindi ko man lang nabigyan ng sasakyan para maayos na makapunta sa hospital,” he said.
