Olympic medalist Eumir Marcial insisted that he didn’t have an affair with a woman like his wife, Princess Galarpe-Marcial, claimed.
In a statement, Eumir admitted that his relationship with Princess was in shambles and even claimed that his wife was being physical to him.
“Kung sinasaktan ko siya, do you think na ganu’n lang ‘yung mangyayari sa kanya? Mayroon siyang pasa sa paa, mayroon siyang ganito. Aksidenteng nangyari ‘yun dahil pinoprotektahan ko ‘yung sarili ko kaya nangyari ‘yun,” he said.
“Hindi na maayos ‘yung relasyon [namin] dahil parati kaming nag-aaway, parati niya akong sinasaktan. Alam ng mga kaibigan at pamilya niya. Kung dumating man kami sa punto ngayon, alam nila na mangyayari ito dahil sa ugali niya,” he added.
He also insisted that the woman mentioned by Princess was only his friend.
“‘Yung babae na nakita nila sa picture, kaibigan ko ‘yun na isang beses na pinuntahan ko kasi taga-Zamboanga siya eh. Nagkita kami sa Makati, taga-Zamboanga pala, nagkakilala, nag-usap, and then ‘yun, nagsama. Actually, nu’ng nagsama kami, may kasama siyang kaibigan, may kasama din ako.” he explained.
It can be recalled that Eumir was facing VAWC charges after Princess discovered that her husband was allegedly using their own savings to build a house in Zamboanga for his other woman.
