Dominic Roque addresses issues on condo, gas station, prenup with Bea Alonzo

MANILA, Philippines — Actor Dominic Roque issued a statement to address several issues brought up by veteran showbiz columnist Cristy Fermin.

The entertainment writer previously said that Roque's high-end condominium was owned by a male politician and the family of his ex-partner Bea Alonzo were allegedly investigating his finances.

Fermin added the condo unit was "pang super mayaman" and allegedly owned by a "napaka-kontrobersyal na pulitiko" that wasn't in the Congress or Senate.

The statement also denied another politician Congressman Bong Suntay was a "suspected benefactor" of Roque, and that Fermin "made the innuendo that unreasonably casts doubt on" Suntay's sexuality.

Roque, Jalosjos, and Suntay are all friends that are a part of the motorcycle riding group Euro Monkeys, which also includes Dingdong Dantes, Richard Gutierrez, and Kim Atienza.

The attorneys concluded the statement saying Roque "never fought nor had a disagreement over a prenuptial agreement" with Alonzo.

"Reckless statements relating to the alleged disagreement over a pre-nuptial agreement between them are not only unverified but merely based
