Vhong Navarro’s manager, movie director Chito Roño admitted that his ward who is now recuperating in the hospital is still afraid when he is alone after he was brutally attacked last week in the condo unit of Deniece Cornejo at Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City by the group of men headed by businessman Cedric Lee who is now facing simultaneous charges filed by the comedian actor.

In an interview with DZMM radio on Friday January 31, 2014, which report reflected on ABS-CBN News, Director Chito Roño revealed the present condition of the actor that he is still traumatized that he needed always with the presence of his friends or anybody from his family all the time in order to divert his attention from being disturbed of thinking the mauling incident.

“Physically he is getting better. Siguro I would say may moments pa siyang nararamdaman niya yung trauma niya. Natatakot pa din siyang mag-isa. Gusto niya may kaibigan palagi siyang kasama, kausap,” said Roño.

When asked who is always attended with Vhong Navarro in the hospital, Vhong Navarro’s manager said: “Marami. In fact mararamdaman mo ‘yung family niya, mga kaibigan niya laging nandoon. Father niya, mga tiyahin niya. Nung una hindi namin pinapayagan kasi hindi naman nakakausap, pinapahinga namin kasi masyadong traumatic.”

Chito Roño said that they have allowed already anybody from his family to visit him, except his children.

He also said that the actor has already undergone nose surgery since he was suffering difficulty of breathing and he was not able to use his nose to breathe.

“Nahihirapan siyang huminga, magsalita. At the same time, he is in pain. Yesterday he’s much better, may tendency lang na lumalabas sa kanyang operasyon so medyo pinaiingat lang siya,” he said.

“Siyempre it’s under observation, mayroon siyang bagong iniindang sakit sa gilid so the doctor went yesterday to look at it also. We’ve been advised ‘yung sa head to check it thoroughly, mas magandang ngayon pa lang matignan na kung may namaga sa brain niya mismo,” Roño added.

When Director Chito Roño was asked about Vhong Navarro’s reaction that Deniece Cornejo has formally filed a rape case against him.

“Hindi siya masalita, alam naman niya, sinasabi din niya ‘yung totoo so hindi ko mararamdaman kung ano ang nararadaman niya,” he said.

Director Chito Roño was also asked to give his comment about the alleged that there are other women claiming that they were also victims of Vhong Navarro.

“Hindi niya alam ‘yon kasi di namin pinaparinig sa kanya ang lahat ng news at ‘di namin pinapanood ng TV para ‘di na siya ma-upset, [sabi namin] magpagaling ka muna.

“Alam naman natin ‘yan, so wala kaming comment doon. When you say marami, you just said marami, so I don’t know kung ano ‘yon, we are not concerned kasi we want to focus on what happened to him, on what they did to him.”
