Actress Mcneal ‘Awra’ Briguela couldn’t stop herself from taking a swipe against the netizens who praised former President Rodrigo Duterte’s statement during the senate blue ribbon committee hearing on EJKs yesterday.
In a Facebook post, Awra shared a post from Phil Posas, saying that they’re not part of the generation of people who praise self-proclaimed slaughterers.
Duterte admitted during the hearing that he encouraged cops to let bad elements defend themselves so they could have a reason to neutralize them.
“Hindi tayo henerasyong pumupuri ng mamamatay-tao,” Awra’s post read.
Awra’s post received a mixed reaction from the netizens.
Some individuals, including Sass Rogando Sasot, also reminded Awra of how the latter caused a commotion at a bar in Poblacion.
On June 29, 2023, Awra was reportedly put under the custody of the authorities after being involved in a bar brawl.
CCTV footage showed that Awra forced another customer to take off his clothes, but when the latter refused, the actress became physical with the victim.
“Umaawat lang po ako tapos sinapak po ako, nasaktan po ako,” the bouncer of the bar, Angelo Niño Gulmatico recounted. “Si Awra po. Hindi na siguro mapigilan. Kung sinu-sino na siguro yung nasasaktan niya.”
Eventually, Awra apologized for her actions.
