MANILA, Philippines – Actress and blogger Saab Magalona confirmed that she was attacked during a party she recently attended at Capitol Commons, Pasig City.

In her blog entry dated Tuesday, June 3, Saab wrote that she was “punched on the head several times by an intoxicated man. “

“The unruly gatecrasher was part of a group of uninvited guests to an intimate and private birthday celebration. The celebrant and other guests were also attacked but fortunately a medical evaluation showed no major and permanent physical damage.

“Despite the emotional trauma this has caused, I refuse to allow this incident to scar me. Instead, rest assured I will fight against violence — especially violence against women. Our lawyers are on the case and I hope we can prevent these people from doing further harm to myself and others,” she said.

The incident has since been reported to the police.

Saab’s mother Pia Magalona echoed her daughter’s statement: “We have left everything for our lawyers to handle. Apart from that, Saab has gone back to her daily routine,” she said in a text message to Rappler.

Saab took to Twitter to thank her followers who were worried about her condition.

Thanks for all the tweets, I am feeling better now – our lawyers are on it!
