Onemig Bondoc broke the hearts of many women back in 2009 when he married model and actress Valerie Bariou. Prior to that, the couple already had a daughter in 2007, the year they met.
Onemig publicly admitted in September 2014 that he and Valerie, known for being Rachel Weisz' body double when she shot scenes for 'The Bourne Legacy' here, have split up. In a recent interview with Startalk, the former matinee idol revealed that they've been separated since October 2013.
Now, he is fighting for the sole custody of his two children.
"I'm doing this for my kids. Sobrang mahal ko 'yung mga anak ko. Feeling ko, hindi siya [Valerie] capable of taking care of our kids," he says.
Onemig explains that he and his wife split up due to irreconcilable differences.
"We cannot meet halfway. For her, it's her way or the highway. Sa mundo niya, gusto niya siya lang 'yung pwedeng magkamali. Pero 'yung mga tao sa paligid niya, dapat hindi magkamali," Onemig says, adding that it was Valerie who initially filed for annulment.
He also says that he has tried to talk and work things out with Valerie.
"I don't really want to do this, but it seems that you really want this. You're forcing me to do it. So I guess, I'll just see you in court," Onemig says, addressing his wife.
"As a father, I will do everything and anything to protect my children. Sana hindi na dumating sa ganito, but now it's too late. I'll just see you in court," he says expressing regret.
