Kit Thompson was detained after his girlfriend was rescued and called for help after an altercation with the actor.
The PNP on March 19 filed a complaint against Thompson for violation of Section 5 (a) of the Republic Act 9262 or the Anti-Violence against Women and Children Act.
“We do not condone any act of violence, especially against women. As we celebrate Women’s Month, we couldn’t stress enough the inherent role of the PNP to protect the rights of every woman in society,” The PNP said in a statement.
Jalandoni’s legal counsel said that she is determined to pursue charges against the actor.

“We are determined to pursue the case. Actually, we are preparing to press charges to the fullest extent of the law,” Atty. Faye Singson, Jalandoni’s legal counsel, said in a statement.
“The savage and barbaric acts of the Respondent should not be condoned. How ironic that as we celebrate Women’s Month, such abuses being committed against women still exist. But know that for Ana to come out and speak up is a bold step to vindicating her dignity,” she added.
