For the second time, Ruby ‘Mystica’ Villanueva apologized to President Rodrigo Duterte after she criticized the chief executive several times this month and called for its ouster.
On her latest social media vlog, Villanueva said that she now understood the President’s decision to warn the leftist groups not to go out of their houses.
In her past video, Villanueva criticized Duterte’s order to give harsh punishments to the people who would plan to violate the enhanced community quarantine rules.
“Na realize ko na kulang talaga, kung ako man ay nakapag mura, I repeated again, dahil sa parang ako rin ay isang anak ng isang ama, kasi from the start ay tinuring ko na rin siyang ama, isa rin ako sa mga sumuporta sa kanya,” Villanueva said.
According to her, one of the reasons why she temporarily withdrew her support to the President is when she got informed that the social amelioration program launched by the government would only benefit the ‘poorest of the poor’.
Mystica said that she’s only trying to voice out her frustrations against the recent actions of the government.
“I’m sure na mapapatawad ako ni Presidente, dahil alam niya na ang isang tao kapag frustrated masasabi niya lahat, katulad din niya nasasabi niya rin kung ano yung frustration niya,” she said.
“Bilang anak, alam ko na hindi tama yun, inaadmit ko, kaya kung yun man ang dahilan na ako ay huhusgahan na ng mundo, ako kakastiguhin na wala akong puso, wala akong ginawa kundi reklamo ng reklamo, siguro niyo naman ay maintindihan niyo ang bakit,” she added.
Last month, Mystica said that she would take back her apology to Duterte and accused the President of never treating the people equally.
“Right now ay binabawi ko na apology because I don’t think anything that making sense right now, na talagang ibinibigay niyang parusa sa amin kung sino pa mga taong kami mismo ay walang ginawa kundi magbayad ng taxes, but right now hindi kami iprioritize,” she said.
“I’m challenging the President na siya ang i home quarantine, wag siyang palabasin at wag siyang bigyan ng pagkain at inumin, baka ilang araw lang ay hindi na siya mabubuhay, katulad ng mga ginagawa niya sa mga taong katulad namin,” she added.
