This incident took place last Fri, Jan 30, but it has been confirmed only this week. For the record, beloved character actress Lilia Cuntapay, who is best known for her roles in Pinoy horror movies, is now fine after her ordeal.
“Lilia Cuntapay was in Tupi, South Cotabato when a man with a mental condition attacked her,” reports Edwin Fernandez in Philippine Daily Inquirer.
The report noted: “Based on the report released by the Tupi police, the 80-year-old Cuntapay was a guest during the foundation anniversary of the Gen. Paulino Santos Memorial Institute. She was silently sitting beside the school stage while waiting for her turn to go up when a man, later identified as Aljay Sacramento, 29, arrived and without a word, struck her in the face.”
According to Dr. Grace Tanzo, “Cuntapay suffered bruises on the left face. Her eyes swelled and showed discoloration.”
Following the incident, Cuntapay was secured by two policemen during the time that she was briefly admitted to the hospital.
The report added: “It’s not known if Cuntapay would file charges against the man but the suspect’s relatives have reportedly apologized to the actress for the incident.”
