Boracay, Philippines – What was supposed to be a peaceful vacation quickly turned into a nightmare for the son of Senator Jinggoy Estrada, after he was reportedly beaten and ganged up on by several individuals at a popular Boracay establishment. The shocking incident was caught on CCTV, and the footage is now making rounds online—fueling public outrage and demands for justice.

A Brutal Scene Caught on Camera

According to initial reports, the senator’s son—whose identity is being temporarily withheld for safety reasons—was ambushed by a group of men inside a beachfront bar. The CCTV video allegedly shows the victim being cornered, punched, and kicked multiple times while onlookers screamed and tried to intervene.

“It was vicious. He didn’t even get a chance to defend himself,” said a witness who requested anonymity.

The attackers quickly fled the scene before authorities could arrive.

Motive Still Unclear

As of now, the motive behind the assault remains unclear. Some speculate it may have stemmed from a personal grudge, while others wonder whether it was a case of mistaken identity or something more sinister.

“Was this a planned attack? Was the senator’s son targeted?” asked one netizen.
“Or was it a drunken brawl that spiraled out of control?”

These questions remain unanswered, and officials have yet to release a formal statement regarding the investigation’s direction.

Jinggoy Estrada Speaks Out

Senator Jinggoy Estrada, visibly shaken, issued a brief but firm statement following the incident:

“This is not just an attack on my son—it’s an attack on my family. I demand a full investigation and justice.”

He also confirmed that his son sustained bruises and minor injuries, but is now safe and recovering under private medical care.

Police Investigation Underway

Boracay police have begun a formal investigation, citing that the CCTV footage is being reviewed and potential suspects are being identified. Authorities also urged the public to avoid spreading unverified claims, as it may hamper the ongoing probe.

“We assure the family and the public that we are treating this matter with utmost seriousness,” said a local police chief.

Public Reaction

The video has caused an uproar on social media, with many Filipinos expressing both sympathy and concern over the deteriorating safety in public tourist spots.

Some, however, questioned why the senator’s family seemed to receive faster investigation response, triggering another round of online debate about influence and privilege.

What’s Next?

While the senator’s camp has vowed to press charges, the incident has now become a national conversation—not just about violence, but about accountability, power, and public safety.

As of writing, no arrests have been made, but authorities assure the public that “justice will be served.

Sen. Jinggoy Estrada’s son beaten up in Boracay
Senator Jinggoy Estrada’s son and another person were allegedly beaten up by three men while on vacation on the island of Boracay.

According to a report by Radyo Todo on Saturday, May 24, the senator’s son was walking to D’Mall when suddenly three men followed and joined forces to beat him up in front of a hotel in Brgy. Balabag.

The suspects were identified as James Carl Vargas y Jason, Dwyne David Mecca y Delos Santos and Khenjie Sarabia y Dumalaog, all 18 years old and living on the island of Boracay.

The police rushed to the scene and arrested the suspects. Although the report did not name the people who were beaten up, a meaningful Instagram story by Sen. Jinggoy’s eldest son, Jules Estrada, can be read.

He said, “To everyone expecting to see me at Epic tonight, I won’t be able to make it.”

“Got caught in a really unfortunate situation last night and need time to recover, both physically and mentally appreciate all your understanding and support. See you soon,” Jules added.

Currently, Sen. Jinggoy has not yet released a statement regarding the incident, but the senator is said to have gone to Boracay to talk to local authorities.

It can be recalled that recently, the complaint of Sen. Jinggoy’s wife became the center of attention after she was bitten by a cockroach that was spotted at a resort in Boracay.
