MANILA, Philippines - A 30-year-old man was arrested in Malabon City before dawn yesterday after reportedly beating his 23-year-old wife when she refused to have sex with him.

Michael Moreno came home drunk and reportedly tried to force himself on his wife, who resisted.

Moreno grabbed a coffee table and smashed Jamilie’s head and ribs. Neighbors overheard the couple fighting and called the barangay watchmen, who arrested Moreno.

His wife was rushed to the Tondo General Hospital, where doctors said she had broken ribs. She remains confined in the hospital.

Moreno, who is detained at the Malabon police station, will be charged for violating Republic Act 9262, the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act.
