Koko bares separation from wife

- Christina Mendez -

MANILA, Philippines - Senator Aquilino Pimentel III announced last night that he had separated from his wife, Jewel May Lobaton.

“This may well be the most difficult public pronouncement I will ever be making in my

entire life,” he said in a statement.

“And painful too, as every separation involves a certain degree of pain. I confirm my separation from my wife of close to 12 years, Jewel May Lobaton. We have been living separately since November 2011.”

Pimentel said he tried his best to resolve their differences “for the sake of our two boys but have failed to do so.”

“Now that we have separated, my main concern is the welfare of the boys,” he said.

“Hence, I am asking for prayers from my supporters and the understanding of our people whom I serve.

“I want to assure them that this situation will not affect the discharge of my duties as a senator.”
