Christian Merck Grey clarified that he was only joking when he asked Xander Ford if he wanted him to sponsor the event.
In a video, he said that he couldn’t believe that Xander, Marlou Arizala in real life would take his ‘joke’ seriously.
According to him, he never promised that he would shoulder all the expenses for Xander’s son’s baptism that according to the latter, cost him P349,000.
“Kuya Merck papabinyag ako ha, ganto ganto… Syempre ‘yung parang kwentuhan bang yabangan, sinabi ko na ‘sige Marlou gusto mo sagutin ko pa binyag ng anak mo eh’ parang nagtawanan lang kami,” he said.
“Pero wala kaming pinag-usapan, hindi ko naseryoso pala. Wala akong pinangako, tignan niyo walang mailabas na screenshot si Marlou,” he added.
He also challenged Xander to show evidence that he really made such promises.
Christian also said that he was not invited to the baptism of Xander’s son.
“Kung ikaw talaga ay makatao, bakit hindi ako invited sa binyag ng anak mo? Sige nga, ipakita mo ‘yung ebidensya na nag-send ka sakin ng invitation ng anak mo.” Christian said.
“Tol hindi mo ko inimbitahan, nakakatawa ka, hindi mo ko inimbitahan sa binyag ng anak mo tapos nung nakita mo na marami na kong pera, bigla mong sasabihin na sagot ko dapat ang binyag ng anak mo,” he added.
It can be recalled that Xander made several claims and appeals on his social media page, asking Christian to pay him P349,000.
“Ang gusto lang namin dito ay makuha ‘yung para sa’min,” Xander said. “Alam naman namin at alam naman niya na talagang sinasabi sa amin ‘yon, na pinangako niya sa’min yon.”
“Yung lang ang gusto naming mangyari dito na sana ibigay mo nalang samin ‘yung P349,000 na ipinangako mo samin,” he added.
