Tu flew to the Philippines on August 1 and met the girl at Big Apple Hotel in Damosa where the two consummated their relationship.

But Romino says that on August 4 a heated argument ensued between them as she discovered that Tu was meeting another Filipina in town.

Tu and Rominio met later for her birthday the following day and watched a movie together. But on August 9, Tu allegedly became mad due to a mistaken order delivered by the hotel staff. He also invited Romino to his hotel room for dinner and she refused.

Tu left Romino and went to his room upset, she followed him and confronted him about his display of anger, that’s when she says Tue slapped her.

The formal complaint against Tu included a medical certificate of the victim showing that she suffered bruises with a healing time of seven days or more.
