Ana Jalandoni, on Monday, March 28, shared in great detail what transpired following the assault she recently received from actor Kit Thompson.
In the press conference held in Quezon City, she began by saying, “Nasaktan po ako. Sasabihin ko na lang po yung nararamdaman ko.”
Jalandoni continued, “Masakit po yung pinagdaaanan ko dahil hindi ko po yun nakita na mangyayari sa akin, yung ginawa sa akin ng mahal ko. Wala pong babae na gustong masaktan… na dinanas ko (sic). Madami po akong dinaanan sa buhay ko, lahat yun nalagpasan ko pero yung nangyari sa akin, hindi ko po alam kung kakayanin ko.”
She, however, knew about Thompson’s anger issues.
“Alam ko po yung anger problem niya, sinabi niya po yun sa akin noon. Tsaka minsan, kapag hindi niya kayang i-control, kaya noong nag-inom kami nagtaka ako na dalawa pa yung binili niyang alak,” she shared during her press conference in Quezon City.
Jalandoni then gave her version of the story.
“Nangyari po kasi, nag-usap po kami na yun nga po, gustung-gusto na niya akong pakasalan, na mahal na mahal niya daw ako, tapos ganoon din po ako sa kanya.
“Tapos may pinadala ako sa kanya na mga pictures namin sa social media. Tapos naging okay naman ang usapan namin. And then, yung late niyang tanong sa akin is yung sa ex ko na ‘iniwan mo ang ex mo ‘di ba? ‘Di ba hiniwalayan mo siya?’ Sabi ko, ‘Oo, ang tagal na noon, 2018 pa iyan. Alam mo ang nangyari kung bakit.'”
“Sabi niya, ‘Ako kapag iniwan mo ako, patayin kita.’ Sabi pa niya, ‘Akin ka lang. Hindi ka p’wedeng mapunta sa iba. Mahal na mahal kita,'” she narrated, indicating that she was being threatened by the actor.
Jalandoni, who is already drunk, tried to inform her best friend of their whereabouts but fell asleep on the third floor. To her understanding, Thompson’s actions resulted from his assumption that she left.
“Perception ko lang is siguro pumasok sa isip niya na iiwan ko siya gaya ng ginawa ko sa ex ko. Eh siyempre nakainom nga kami. Kasi umalis ako ng pinto eh. Mga ilang minutes din niya akong hinanap kaya akala niya, iniwan ko siya.”
The violent altercation began after she was discovered by a security guard roaming on the said floor. The actor was informed about her location and was brought back into their room.
“Akala niya iiwan ko siya. Kasi paghiga niya ako sa bed, sinampal niya ako. Nagulat ako, s’yempre na-shock ako. Tapos sabi ko, ‘Bakit mo ako sinampal?’ Sabi niya, ‘Bakit mo ako iniwan? Bakit ka umalis?’ Sagot ko, ‘Hindi ako umalis. Tinatawagan ko si Victoria. Sasabihin ko na nandidito tayo sa hotel at lasing tayo,'” she explained.
She tried to justify her side, but the actor overwhelmed with anger, responded, “‘Hindi! Hindi! Umalis ka! Iiwan mo ako.'”
This resulted in several serious injuries, including a swollen eye preventing Jalandoni from seeing clearly.
“Sa ngayon po, meron pa rin kasi siyang parang gasgas sa loob. Pero sabi naman ng doktor is babalik naman siya sa normal,” she admitted.
Jalandoni will be pressing two more charges: frustrated homicide and serious illegal detention.
Meanwhile, one of her legal counsels, Atty. Greg Tiongco stressed that the suspect preventing the victim from leaving was a clear violation of her liberty, one of the elements of serious illegal detention.
“Unang-una, ang mga elemento sa Revised Penal Code natin, kapag ginawa ito sa isang babae, or if nangyari itong insidente ng deprivation of liberty na pinagsama with serious physical injuries, this would amount to serious illegal detention”
Currently, Thompson is on bail and has yet to release his own statement about the incident.
