The viral Sampaguita girl addressed the mall security guard who lost his job after their confrontation last month.
In an interview with ABS-CBN, Jen apologized to the guard, saying that she did not intend to harm the security guard.
Jen also opposed SM Megamall’s decision to dismiss the guard.
“Gusto ko po humingi ng sorry sa kanya, and at the same time hindi ko po ginusto na matanggal siya sa trabaho,” said Jen.
She also defended her position, saying she had no choice but to become a working student.
“Kailangan ko po talaga magtinda para naman po maka-survive ako sa pag-aaral ko… may kaedaran na po kasi ang parents ko at kadalasan nagkakasakit na po ang mama ko kaya bilang isang anak, hindi ko naman po gugustuhin na mas lumala pa ang sakit ng parents ko kaya mas gusto ko na iprovide na lang yung pangangailangan namin dahil nagtitinda po ako,” she said.
