MANILA — DJ and social media influencer Jellie Aw said Friday that she will no longer marry fiancé Jam Ignacio as she acused him of physical abuse. 

"Wala na pong kasal na magaganap. Hindi na po matutuloy yung mga napag-usapan namin dahil sa nangyari," Aw said.

Despite Ignacio’s apology, Aw made it clear that she will not withdraw the case against him.

"Hindi po pwedeng napuno lang siya eh. Paano po ‘pag binigyan ko siya ng second chance? Paano po ‘pag napuno ulit siya agad sa ’kin? Gagawin niya ulit ‘yun, mas grabe pa," she added.

The alleged assault took place on February 12 after Ignacio reportedly became jealous of Aw’s co-DJ.

While her physical wounds are healing, she admitted that trauma remains.

"’Yung physical po kasi gagaling pa eh. Pero ‘yung sa emotional, ang hirap na po. Parang ‘pag araw-araw naalala mo, masakit," she said. "Hindi ako papayag na sorry na lang ‘yung sasabihin ni Jam."

The couple got engaged in November last year, but Aw has now decided to call off the wedding, citing the impact of the incident on her family, particularly her mother.

"Respeto na lang din po sa magulang ko kasi sobrang na-trauma din po ‘yung mama ko. Parang gabi-gabi po siya umiiyak. Hindi ko kaya na ganun ang nanay ko," Aw said.

Ignacio on Friday appeared before the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) after failing to respond to a subpoena the previous day.

According to NBI Director Jaime Santiago, the case will proceed as a direct filing.

"Patuloy siya na humihingi ng paumanhin sa nangyari, nagkabiglaan lang daw. But then, hindi dapat nanakit ng babae," Santiago said.

“‘Yung krimen na nagawa niya ay public crime. So wala kaming magagawa kundi i-file ang kaso,” he added.

Despite lingering feelings, Aw stood firm in her decision to hold Ignacio accountable.

"Mahal pa din kita pero siyempre, hindi naman pwedeng love lang ‘yung papairalin natin," she said. "Gusto ko pong bigyan ng leksyon si Jam sa ginawa niya sakin."

Ignacio will face charges of attempted homicide and violation of the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004.
