An American philosopher was stabbed by his girlfriend after she discovered him having sex with a man in their Cebu City hotel room.
Jonathan Finch, aged 52, is now recovering at a private hospital after the attack by 28-year-old Jessa Hernaiz in the early hours of this morning (Tuesday, September 4).
Hernaiz, from Talisay City, is being held at Abellana police station. Rey Lumagod, desk officer at the station, has been unable to confirm if any charges will be brought against her.
The attack took place inside an unidentified hotel along Cebu City’s Osmeña Boulevard.
According to a report on Bombo Radyo, Hernaiz said she knew Finch was having sex with men, as she had previously refused to allow him to have anal intercourse with her.
Although she apparently turned a blind eye, she said it was understood that any sexual encounters should not take place in the couple’s hotel room.
It was when Hernaiz arrived to find her boyfriend having sex with a man, that she flew into a rage and stabbed him on the left side of his chest.
The Bombo Radyo report says that Finch had been in the Philippines for three months, and was due to return to Missouri to start a new semester lecturing in philosophy.
Further research indicates that Finch has worked as a lecturer in the Philosophy and Liberal Arts Department of Missouri University of Science and Technology. According to his LinkIn page he is currently running a family farm with “a large herd of cattle, one horse, and seven sheep”.
He is also the author of Some Thoughts on Thinking: Philosophy at Five Miles Per Hour, which is described as “a work dealing with the issues one faces when one attempts to construct non-arbitrary beliefs about ourselves and our surroundings”.
