Newly elected Tacloban mayor Cristina Gonzales-Romualdez expressed her sincere apology to Leni Robredo, her family, and supporters after her 16-year-old daughter reportedly cursed the vice-presidential candidate in a particular tweet.
Through a Facebook post on Tuesday (May 10, 2016), the actress turned politician said that her daughter feels very apologetic after tweeting such offensive remarks on the vice-presidential aspirant.
“IN BEHALF OF MY DAUGHTER SOFIA I APOLOGIZE FOr SUCH WORDS SHE TWEETED ABT LENY. As a mother and most especially as a Christian i do NOT approve of such words. SHE IS VERY APOLOGETIC AND IS LEARNING .
SOFIA IS 16 so i believe she didnt realize what she was doing. I HV MET LENY WHEN we went TO THE WAKE OF HER HUSBAND AND I KNOW SHE DOes NOT DESERVE SUCH WORDS. SOFIA ALREADY APOLOGIZED SO I HOPE WE ALL FORGIVE AND LOVE HER SHE IS STILL VERY YOUNG.”
“MAY GOD BLESS OUR COUNTRY. PLS PRAY FOR EACH OTHER AND LOVE AND FORGIVE. I BELIEVE THIS IS WHAT OUR COUNTRY NEEDS. MY KIDS WENT THROUGH A LOT DURING THE DISASTER And WITNESSED EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED . We all ALMOST LOST OUR LIVES SO I HV BEEN ALWAYS PRAYING FOR MY CHILDREN TO REALLY GET OVER THAT EVENT IN THEIR LIVES. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING”
Leni Robredo has already accepted the apology and has forgiven Cristina’s daughter.
