The son of Cesar Montano, Diego Loyzaga is allegedly involved in a mauling incident early Sunday morning at a posh club in Taguig City according to the claimed by two brothers who were allegedly beaten by the actor and his group.
Based upon the statement of the sister of Wilmer Paolo and Wilmer Angelo Lopez, the two teenagers sustained multiple injuries after Diego Loyzaga’s group teamed up on punching and kicking them while outside the Palace Pool Club along 9th Avenue corner 36th Street in Bonifacio Global City.
The sister who refused to be identified for safety reasons, narrated that the incident started on Saturday night when Paolo and Angelo went to the said club and were seated at a table near Loyzaga’s group.
“Diego hugged my brother’s girlfriend inside the club but instead of starting a fight, they just asked him not to do it again,” she explained nothing that both Paolo and Angelo noticed that the actor was already “pikon” (touchy) during their exchange.
According to some witnesses, Diego Loyzaga was already intoxicated that night while the brothers of the witness said that they had a few drinks, however, they were still sober the entire night. Paolo then went to the restroom, Diego Loyzaga followed him and punched him twice in the face but Paolo did not fight back.
The incident prompted the security personnel at the Palace Pool Club to kik Loyzaga and Paolo out of the place including their companions. The next incident happened at the parking lot, when Diego’s group also got in another fight with a separate group.
After fighting with the said group, she said that Loyzaga again approached his brothers outside the club and repeatedly asked them if they knew a certain “Paolo,” (not the same with Wilmer Paolo) a person who apparently irked the actor earlier at the club.
Wilmer Paolo reportedly admitted knowing the individual, however, he claimed that he is only an acquaintance and not a friend. “However, Diego’s group kept on insisting that my brother was lying,” she said noting that Paolo was even asking them to “chill” and not start another fight.
However, she claimed that Loyzaga did not heed his brother’s request and even instructed one of his friends standing behind Paolo to hit him. When Angelo tried to run to his brother’s side, she said he was tackled and beaten by four other guys from Loyzaga’s group. After giving the two men a beating, Loyzaga and his friends reportedly ran from the area and escaped.
The brothers were then taken to the St. Luke’s Medical Center Global City where they were treated for their face and head wounds. Aside from the physical injuries, the sibling also shared that the lack of intervention from the security personnel of the Palace Pool Club also saddened their family.
