The son of Sen. Jinggoy Estrada and his companion were injured after they were mauled by a group of young men on the beachfront at Station 2 in Boracay around 2 a.m. Saturday.
According to initial reports from local radio station Radyo Todo, the victims were walking from a bar toward D’Mall when they were followed and attacked by three suspects near a hotel in Barangay Balabag.
