• MANILA, Philippines – Barangay Ginebra’s high-leaping guard-forward Cyrus Baguio has been accused of beating up a man during an incident in Quezon City last week.

Bagiuo faces charges of physical injuries after his supposed friend, Herby Joy Estacio, filed a complaint at the Quezon City Prosecutors Office on Monday.

In his complaint, Estacio claimed Baguio and his companion allegedly punched him during a party last May 14 at the house of a certain Lani Illio in UP Village, Quezon City.

According to Estacio, Baguio asked him to go out of the house but he was surprised when the cager allegedly punched him on the face. Baguio’s unnamed companion allegedly threw a punch as well, and the complainant claimed he suffered abrasions, multiple hematoma, contusions and superficial laceration due to the incident.

Speaking on behalf of Baguio, his agent/adviser Danny Espiritu told GMANews.TV that the Ginebra ace would not be making any comment on the incident since, he claimed, “it is too personal not only for himself but also for the family of the complainant."

But Baguio, according to Espiritu, is ready to face his accusers and air his side in the proper forum. – GMANews.TV
