Vice Ganda withdrew his plan to apologize to It’s Showtime segment “EXpecially For You” searchee Alex Cruz due to an incident happened last week.
It can be recalled that Vice expressed his guilt via Twitter after he thought that the searchee, Axel, was forcing himself on his ex-girlfriend, Christine.
“Oy, hindi pwede yun, that’s bad! Don’t do that, you ask for permission. Alam mo bang pwede kang mademanda sa ginagawa mo? Don’t do that, hindi ka pwedeng biglang nagnanakaw ng halik,” Vice told Axel during the May 31 episode of It’s Showtime.
He published the said statement after Christine made a video to clarify that she was okay with the gestures of her ex-boyfriend.
“Sorry na mali ang reaction ko. Ang dating kasi sakin at sa ibang andun eh na-off si girl na sinunggaban sya ng halik. Since hindi naman pala I will apologize to the guy,” said Vice.
However, several days after he made the said tweets, Vice said that he would not apologize for his actions.
“Binabawi ko yung twineet ko na I will say an apology because I do not need to apologize for what I did. Ito ang aking paniniwala, at paniniwala din namin na hindi kinakailangang mag-apologize because what we did was right,” he stated.
Vice insisted that what Axel did to Christine was wrong.
“Nirerespeto namin ang dahilan ni Christine kung bakit sinabi niya yon, na hindi siya na-off when, in reality, na-off talaga siya. At since na-off si Christine, naniniwala ako na hindi mali na kinolout namin si Axel dahil karapatan ng isang babae na tumanggi o umalma kung para sa kanya, sa pakiwari niya ay hindi siya kumportable sa ikikilos ng sinuman sa harapan niya,” he stated.
“Kung hahawakan man siya, hahalikan man siya, aakbayan man siya, tatapikin man siya, karapatan po ng babae na tumanggi at umalma. At yun po ang nakita namin noon araw na iyon—may pag-alma si Christine kaya kinolout namin,” he added.
As a host, Vice believed that it should be their responsibility to protect their guests.
