Motivational Speaker Rendon Labador, entrepreneur Rosmar Tan, and the whole Team Malakas presented themselves to the public to apologize for their behavior during their visit to Coron, Palawan.
Rendon and Rosmar became one of the top topics this week after a video of them confronting an employee of Coron Municipal Hall was published on social media.
The issue started when the employee, Jho Cayabyab Trinidad, criticized Rendon and Rosmar’s visit to Coron and even accused them of using the municipal staff for their benefit.
After the incident, a councilor of Coron pushed to declare the two social media personalities persona non grata in the municipality.
Rendon and Rosmar apologized to the whole municipality of Coron and Trinidad to address the criticism they received.
“Pasensya na kay Ma’am Jo, sa munisipyo at lalo na po kay Mayor (Marjo Reyes), at syempre po sa bayan po ng Coron, Palawan. Sorry po talaga na parang pinost ko na “Never again” hindi ko po sinasadya na i-generalize po kayo. Nagpadala po ako sa bugso ng damdamin at ‘yun po yung pinaka maling ginawa ko and humihingi po ako ng tawad,” said Rosmar.
Rendon explained that they stormed the municipal hall not to act as influencers, or popular figures but as Filipino citizens who wanted to air their disappointment to a public servant.
“Gusto ko lang po linawin na pumunta po kami doon sa munisipyo hindi bilang isang celebrity, hindi isang influencer and hindi bilang, lalo na, hindi bilang Rendon Labrador, Rosmar nagrereklamo. Pumunta po kami doon dahil bilang isang Pilipino, simpleng tao na nasaktan sa nangyari dahil sa isang comment ng isang servant,” Rendon said.
Rendon, Rosmar, and Team Malakas vowed to regain the trust of the public by continuing their advocacy, which includes visiting several provinces in the Philippines to distribute help.
“Babawi po kami at hindi po ito naging hadlang sa advocacy namin na makatulong at makapag bigay ng inspirasyon sa lahat ng taong nangangailangan. Team Malakas po ay magpapatuloy at hindi po kami titigil sa pagbigay ng kasiyahan, charity sa tao,” he also said.
‘BEAST MODE NOW, PUBLIC APOLOGY LATER’
