Atak is facing raps of acts of lasciviousness filed by a certain Mark Christian Macavinta, 21, a hotel attendant at Okada Manila.

The comedian allegedly groped and kissed the complainant after accompanying him to the complimentary room of casino resort and hotel.

Due to the complaint filed by the latter, the Parañaque Police arrested Atak.

Meanwhile, in an exclusive interview, Empoy shared his reaction to the controversy involving his fellow comedian.

“Mabait po si Atak, e. Actually, nagulat din ako sa news, pero alam ko ay malalampasan niya yun. At sana ay patnubayan siya ng Panginoon, at i-heal ang anumang pagkakamaling nagawa ninuman,” he said in an interview with PEP.ph.

“Pero para sa akin ay mabuting tao siya… siguro ay nabigla lang yung tao. Lahat naman tayo ay nagkakamali. Siguro ay ipagdasal na lang natin siya. Sana ay magkaayos din ang dalawang kampo. Yun po,” he added.

When asked if Atak is possible of committing such act, Empoy said; “Sa palagay ko, no comment ako diyan. Ano… masaya lang siguro yung tao. Baka nagbibiro lang siya. Baka hinarot lang niya, tapos nabigla yung tao.”

Empoy believed that the incident serves a big lesson in the life of the comedian.

When asked what’s his message to his fellow actor, Empoy noted; “Atak, kaya mo ‘yan. Lagi mong tandaan na nasa likod mo lang kami.”

“Gagabayan ka man ng Panginoon, at kahit ano man ‘yang gusot na nangyari. Malulusutan mo ‘yan lahat na pinagdadaanan mo ngayon.”
