Humingi ng paumanhin sa publiko ang dating pulis na si Wilfredo Gonzales na matatandaang sumikat sa social media matapos niyang kasahan ang siklistang kanyang nakaalitan.

Sa hearing ng senado nitong September 5, 2023, sinabi ni Gonzales na biktima lamang din siya sa mga nangyari dahil sa tindi ng epekto ng isyu sa kanyang kabuhayan at sa pamilya.

“Biktima rin po ako dito, nawalan ako ng trabaho, na-ano ako sa social media, mga anak ko, pamilya ko. Kung hindi sinuntok ‘yung kotse ko, kung ‘yung bangga lang sa bumper ko pagpapasensyahan ko na,” ani Gonzales.

Sinabi rin nito na ikinabigla niya lamang ang nangyari kaya’t nasaktan niya ang siklista na si Allain Bandiola na dumalo rin sa nasabing hearing.

Ayon kay Gonzales ay gusto niya lamang depensahan ang kanyang sarili lalo na’t kagagaling niya lamang sa isang operasyon.

“Humihingi po ako ng tawad sa parteng ‘yun po, pambabatok ko at pagbunot ko at pagkasa ko,” ani Gonzales. “Humihingi po ako ng tawad sa lahat,”

“Kasalanan ko po ‘yun, nabigla po ako. Ang isip ko po noon, idepensa ‘yung sarili ko dahil hindi naman ako ganoon kalakas. Galing ho ako sa spine operation,” dagdag pa niya.

Posibleng ligtas naman sa demanda si Gonzales dahil nanindigan ang siklista na hindi niya sasampahan ng kaso ang dating parak.

ABS-CBN’s AdProm Head and Director Eric John Salut couldn’t hide his disappointment towards the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) chair Lala Sotto.

It can be recalled that MTRCB suspended ABS-CBN for 12 airing days after they found Vice Ganda and Ion Perez’s gestures during the Isip Bata segment as ‘indecent’.

In his now-deleted tweet, Salut accused Sotto of lack of dignity for suspending It’s Showtime.

“Wala kang delicadeza Lala Sotto! Kadiri ka!” the director said.

As of writing, Sotto has yet to give any response to Salut’s message to her.

It can be recalled that several It’s Showtime fans accused Sotto of using the government agency she headed to favor her father’s program E.A.T.

“Ang laki kc ng inggit nila sa its showtime kaya naghhanap talaga sila ng butas pero go go lang showtime hinding hindi kami bbitaw forever kapamilya,” said Nenita.

“Sana maging fair ka.kasi masayadong halata yang ginagawa mo sa showtime,” netizen Ligaya commented.

“That is so unfair judgment!!!!! Holier than thou! This will not stop us from supporting IT’S SHOWTIME all the way. But we will STOP SUPPORTING “SOTOS” in politics all the way,” netizen May remarked.

Meanwhile, It’s Showtime kept airing on television as they announced that they would file a Motion for Reconsideration to appeal the decision made by MTRCB.

Allain Bandiola, the cyclist who got involved in a traffic altercation along Welcome Rotonda said that the members of the Quezon City Police Department (QCPD) didn’t put ex-cop Wilfredo Gonzales under their custody because of a lack of evidence.

During the senate hearing led by Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa on September 5, Bandiola shared that he was told by an officer from QCPD that they could not apprehend Gonzales because they didn’t see the weapon used by the former cop against him.

“Sabi ni Sir Adan, ‘Hindi namin puwedeng arestuhin si Ginoong Gonzales, wala naman kaming nakitang baril’ Ganito na lang, sabi niya, tatawag tayo sa traffic sector para maayos ‘to at magawan ng incident report,” said Bandiola.

Dela Rosa said that Bandiola should insisted that Gonzales was armed during the incident.

“Dapat sinumbong mo, may baril ‘yan, kinasahan ako,” the lawmaker said.

However, Bandiola said that he insisted it to the members of QCPD, but they said that they were not allowed to put the ex-cop under their custody without further explanation.

He was also told by the cops not to tap the vehicle of other people to avoid getting in trouble.

The certain ‘Adan’ was not present during the hearing.

Bandiola also confirmed that he talked with Gonzales to settle the issue.

Kapamilya program It’s Showtime was still airing despite the 12-day airing suspension made by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) on September 4, 2023.

On the September 5 episode of It’s Showtime, one of its co-hosts, Jhong Hilario read their explanation of why they were kept airing despite the decision from MTRCB.

According to them, they were still allowed to air as they were planning to appeal the decision made by the government agency headed by Lala Sotto.

“Habang nakabinbin ang motion for reconsideration, ang desisyon ng suspensiyon ng programa ay hindi pa pinal at epektibo. Kaya sa ngayon ay patuloy niyo pong mapapanood ang ‘It’s Showtime,'” said Jhong.

It can be recalled that MTRCB allowed It’s Showtime to file a Motion of Reconsideration within 15 days.

The suspension was related to the program’s hosts, Vice Ganda and Ion Perez who were seen eating a cake in a seductive manner in front of several children during the ‘Isip Bata’ segment.

In the said statement, MTRCB also listed some of the committed violations made by It’s Showtime this year.

Meanwhile, It’s Showtime fans accused Sotto of being biased and favoring her father’s show, E.A.T, which is a competitor of the Kapamilya show.

It’s Showtime fans couldn’t hide their disappointment towards the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) chairman Lala Sotto after the government agency suspended the Kapamilya show for 12 airing days.

Sotto was trending on Twitter and most netizens accused the agency head was favoring her father, Tito Sotto’s show E.A.T, which was a competitor of It’s Showtime.

On Twitter, they reminded the MTRCB head about the violation committed by E.A.T after one of its hosts, Wally Bayola made forbidden remarks during one of its segments.

According to some netizens, MTRCB should also do the same with E.A.T.

“Lala Sotto and MTRCB, remind ko lang kayo sa pagmumura ni Wally Bayola ng PUT*NG IN* on national TV. Since you decided to suspend It’s Showtime for 12 days, any penalties below that which will be assigned to E.A.T. will not be accepted by the masses!” said netizen Rob.

“12 days din po ba suspended ang EAT, Lala Sotto? Okay lang sa akin na suspended ang it’s showtime. Basta ba fair and consistent kayo,” netizen John remarked.

“Because of eating cake in national tv? Talaga ba MTRCB? Pero si Wally na nag mura sa national TV okay? Enlighten me Lala Sotto. Ang @itsShowtimeNa na lang nga napapasaya sa Tanghali,” said netizen Kent.

Lala Sotto and MTRCB, remind ko lang kayo sa pagmumura ni Wally Bayola ng PUT*NG IN* on national TV. Since you decided to suspend It’s Showtime for 12 days, any penalties below that which will be assigned to E.A.T. will not be accepted by the masses! pic.twitter.com/dHHtxZSCFc

In a lengthy Facebook post, Quiambao posted a screencap of the comments made by students, saying that she would never allow herself to be treated like that.

“Ang mga bata ngayon kailangan turuan ng good manners at right conduct talaga. marami taming walang modo at respeto. Masyado kayo feeling entitled! learn how to RESPECT people, boy! Sorry if mayabang ako at pinost ko pa to. But this is something I’m sure most public officials get on a daily basis. People don’t respect you anymore. And I REFUSE to be treated this way.
