Several men allegedly blindfolded Navarro and beat him up when he got in the premises of the condominium.
Roño said Navarro was also threatened and was a victim of extortion. However, he said Navarro is unable to detail the incident as he cannot speak properly.
“Si Vhong Navarro ay naimbitihan sa isang condominium unit sa Fort ng isang kaibigang babae. At sa di pa malamang kadahilanan, siya ay piniringan, pinagtulungang bugbugin, ginapos, tinakot, at hinihingan ng pera ng isang grupo ng kalalakihan noong January 22, Miyerkules,” Roño said.

“Si Vhong ay kasalukuyang nagpapagaling at mawawala ng pansamantala sa ‘It’s Showtime’ at iba pa niyang proyekto.”
Navarro was absent from the noontime program “It’s Showtime” on Thursday and Friday.
The 37-year-old actor is known to have a non-showbiz girlfriend, and has two sons from his previous relationships.
