Olympic medalist Eumir Marcial’s wife, Princess Galarpe-Marcial, filed a VAWC complaint against her husband after months of trying to fix their relationship.
In a statement she released on social media, Princess said that she caught Eumir sleeping with another woman last October at a condominium in Pasay.
“I have personally caught them inside an Airbnb condominium in Pasay, where we had them both arrested at a police station. Eumir and his mistress, Jessa Santos, both had to be temporarily detained for 5 days,” Mrs. Marcial.
“Despite some of my family’s strong disapproval, I still gave Eumir multiple chances to make amends with our marriage, putting into consideration all that we have gone through and the difficult things we have survived as a couple,” she added.
However, despite the chance she gave to Eumir, the athlete allegedly decided to live with her mistress in Zamboanga.
“He withdrew all our savings and used the money to construct a house for him and his mistress in Zamboanga. I also have friends who have personally seen them together,” she stated.
Mrs. Marcial also claimed that her husband sent her threatening messages, and she was taking it seriously because the athlete was well-connected.
As of writing, Eumir has yet to comment on the charges filed by his wife against him.
Eumir is one of the most well-known national athletes in the country today, giving a bronze medal for the Philippines during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
