Jam Ignacio, the fiancé of DJ Jellie Aw, broke his silence and apologized to her about the allegations of physical abuse thrown at him. In an interview with GMA News, the businessman shared how remorseful he has been and hopes to reunite with the social media influencer.



Jellie previously took to social media to show photos of the injuries she got and claimed she nearly died from the beating.

The DJ’s fiancé maintained how apologetic he is not only to her but to her family as well who trusted him to take care of her. He shared that their simple misunderstanding plus his exhaustion led to the alleged altercation.

“Sa simpleng hindi ka pagkakaunawaan and siguro may na rin sigurong pagod sa mag hapon na lakad namin and kumbaga tao lang din siguro ako… Baka napuno lang din siguro ako––– hindi ko sinasabi na tama pero hindi ko para itolerate na gawin ulit. Humihingi ako ng tawad, pasensya na talaga. Sorry sa lahat,” he shared.

Jam added that he loves Jellie and has always been supportive of her and her dreams. He took the interview as an opportunity to speak to her.

“Hon, alam mo yan kung gaano kita ka mahal. Alam mo yan kung gaano kita protektahan, bantayan. Sa lahat ng ginagawa mo, lagi ako nakasuporta sa’yo. Sa lahat ng gusto mong gawin sa buhay, nakasuporta ako palagi sayo,” he added.

He assured everyone that he isn’t hiding and is ready to face Jellie and her family. He promised his fiancée that he wouldn’t be doing anything that could hurt her again.

Jam then shared that he wants to have a private conversation with Jellie so that they can settle things as a couple.

“Sorry sa mga nangyari. Pinapangako ko sa’yo na hindi na mauulit to. Sana, bigyan mo ng pagkakataon na ayusin natin ‘to pareho–– ng pribado na sa ating dalawa. Alam ko naman na alam mo din na mahal natin ang isa’t-isa. Madami tayong gustong gawin pangarap na sana maayos natin at matupad din,” he continued.

For the businessman, he wants to spend the rest of his life with the DJ and social media influencer. He bared how he wanted to build a family–– something he shared they both hoped for.

“Alam mo na gusto ko na ikaw na yung makasama ko talaga. Alam mo yan na may plano tayo na bumuo ng pamilya. Tuparin natin, hon. Nagmamakaawa ako sa’yo. Sana ayusin natin to sorry, sorry sa lahat,” he said.

“Hindi na mauulit. Pangako ko yan sa’yo,” he ended.

Jellie has yet to respond as of this writing.

Meanwhile, the National Bureau of Investigation revealed that Jam could face charges of physical abuse under the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004.
