Actress-comedienne Kitkat said Saturday she is planning to file additional charges against her erstwhile live-in partner who she accused of stealing from her.

“Dadagdagan ko ang kaso niya. Libel at perjury dahil may dinamay siyang tao dito. Nag ne-namedrop [siya] na walang kinalaman dito, na nanahimik at inu-ugnay niya sa kasong ito,” Kitkat told Entertainment Live.

Kitkat revealed that she already sought the help of Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez and broadcast journalist Tony Calvento to help her find former live-in-partner Alfred Santos Lumanlan.

Lumanlan has already granted media interviews denying the allegations hurled against him. He also said that, contrary to Kitkat’s statements, it was the actress who allegedly stole money from him.

Lumanlan, however, has yet to appear before the authorities to personally belie the allegations.

Kitkat countered that if Lumanlan was indeed not guilty, he should stop hiding and come forward to face her.  She also vowed to pursue the case against Lumanlan.

“Hanggang ngayon hindi pa ako nakakakain. Kapag natutulog ako, bigla akong tatayo tapos hahabulin ko siya. ‘Yong mga huling pangyayari noong nwala siya. ‘Yon ang nasa utak ko ngayon,” she said.

In a text message sent to abs-cbnNEWS.com by Kitkat November 11, she said Lumanlan is an alleged gambling addict and before the purported robbery incident they had a heated argument.

“Ninakawan po ako ng boyfriend ko ng P530,000 tapos mga alahas ko at iyong isa kong cell phone kinuha at tinira  sa akin ay ang mga utang na dapat kong bayaran worth P150,000 iyong utang. Lulong na po sa sugal at P46 lang ang tinira sa ATM ko. 'Di ko po alam kung saan magsisimula… halos lahat ng ipon ko kinuha niya. Please pray for me sana ay mahanay pa na siya. Alfred Lumanlan Santos po siya tiga-18 Yakal St. L&S Subdivision,  Angeles Pampanga. Salamat po,” she said.

She said she was forced to sell some of her stuff in order to pay her debts.
