Jason Magbanua Cheater

Confessions of the “other” woman of JMag 

Since this has already blown up out of proportions from another tabloid, I contemplated whether I should keep being silent of explain my side. After careful consideration, I choose the latter.

I met Jason Magbanua last 2015 for a wedding and I was one of the bridesmaids. How could a celebrity videographer notice me? And just like that I was smitten. It started off as a fling just like any other. Flirting here and there. Compliments were thrown. Exciting banters. Friendly invitations. Then it hits you. What seems to be innocent turned to a one nightstand. The problem with any one-night stand is that when the sex is great, it cannot end that quick.

I knew what I was doing and I take complete responsibility. Although as exciting as it may seem, even great times have consequences. Mine just happen to be my 2-year old son. I found out I was pregnant the same time I found out about his allegedly ex-wife and his girlfriend. I did not bother him because from the get-go, I didn’t need anything from him. Not his money nor his presence. I packed my bags and left Manila for the United States and never bothered him again.

I admit that I was not always a good person. I know little of Jason Magbanua because I just arrived from Tampa, Florida. I had sex with a married man without me knowing. And when I knew about it, it was all too late so I just accepted it. The deed was done. As crazy at it may seem, my son changed me. My son and I are great together. I made sure that we didn’t need anyone, not even his father. I wanted him to grow with so much love. I smothered him with kisses and cuddles that would last a lifetime.

Sadly, enough his lifetime came sooner than expected. He was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. I felt defeated but soon made my peace. I made a decision to swallow my hatred for Jason Magbanua and give my son a chance to know his father.  I cannot stress this enough, it was never my intention to cause such havoc in my life and his. But what would any person do if your son was denied the chance of getting to know his father just because he does not acknowledge him as his own. He did reply to my messages but only to disregard and detaching himself from this situation.

Desperate times calls for desperate measures. I did what I thought was sane just to get his attention, I messaged people asking around but to no avail. He still did not respond. Before the situation with my son’s health worsened, we flew to Manila in hopes of seeing him but again, no response.

I am a mother and I am also human. And just like everyone else, I am hurt. I did not ask him for anything except acknowledging my son as his own. That itself does not cost anything but an hour of his time. In his silence I found my answer.

My son is fighting for his life. He has so much love from us, from his real family.  I thank Jason Magbanua for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime to become a mother. But I curse him for being a rotten person, an irresponsible father.

I grew up scared of monsters. I did not know that it came with the form of Jason Magbanua.

To all the women I have spoken to regarding this, thank you for your time. You have been wonderful and supportive. But I urge you to stand up to a man that has caused us pain. These things should not go unnoticed nor should it go unpunished. To Doctora, one of the December 2017 brides of Jason Magbanua. 

One of the other women, A Little Big Day client with 4 kids and a husband who he sleeps with for years. 

To the Make Up Artist, single, part of the wedding industry, who he got pregnant twice but unfortunately lost her babies.

Thank you for listening to me even when it was a tough information to swallow.

May all women have the strength to stand up to a misogynistic man. I share my experience not for the fame but for everyone to know that evil exist. And that evil can take form of a human being. So beware. And always remember, you’re not alone.
