Jinggoy Estrada was saddened by this unexpected incident during their family vacation
Senator Jinggoy Estrada broke his silence on the incident in Boracay involving his son and nephew.
On Saturday, reports surfaced that Estrada’s son was attacked while they were in the popular summer destination. Initially, no name was mentioned but based on a previous report, the suspect just suddenly approached the victim and punched him.
Then, when another victim tried to stop the commotion, the suspect punched him as well. Amid the circulation of this report, the Senator’s son, Julian Estrada, shared an intriguing post on his Instagram Story.
The post announced that he won’t be at Epic because an “unfortunate situation” happened and that he needed time to recover physically and mentally.
Based on the article in PEP, Sen, Jinggoy Estrada spoke about this matter. He said that the incident happened on May 24, 2025. The lawmaker shared that his son Julian was coming from a bar with Jefferly Vitug when three men, who are Boracay residents, attacked them.
Julian and Jefferly were about to go back to their accommodation venue. Allegedly, the suspect said to Jefferly, “Masyado kang maangas.” The Senator pointed out that the CCTV footage shows that there was no tension that happened at the bar. Julian and Jefferly were both injured and are currently confined in a hospital.
“Bilang ama at tiyuhin, hindi maiiwasan na labis akong mag-alala nang makarating sa akin ang masamang balita. Kaya’t dali-dali akong pumunta para alamin ang nangyari at kalagayan nila,” Sen. Jinggoy Estrada said.
The Estradas already filed a complaint against the suspects and the Senator hoped that proper authorities will investigate this case and make sure that justice will be served.
Despite what happened, Sen. Jinggoy is thankful that his son and nephew are safe. “We hope incidents like this serve as a reminder of the need to create a safer environment for everyone,” the lawmaker added.
