Ako po ay humihingi ng paumanhin at pasensya sa mga taong nadamay dahil doon sa post ko tungkol doon kay nanay na nagpulot ng kaniyang paninda na nag viral. Sorry po. Nadala lang ako ng emosyon ko bilang tindera na makita kapwa mo tindera ng ganon pero ang totoo pala, may kasalanan din yung tindera.
Mali po ako sa part na di ko muna inalam yung totoong nangyari bago ipost naawa lang po talaga ako kay nanay tindera. .
PASENSYA NA PO. Di na mauulit.”
