Language barrier dahilan kung bakit di nakaangal si Coco sa ‘Bench scandal’

Sinabi ni Atty. Kapunan na hindi raw kumportable si Coco sa ginawa niyang pagrampa at sa rehearsal palang daw ay asiwa na ito sa ipinagawa sa kanya na hindi niya nagawang sabihin ito sa organizers dahil pawang foreigners ang nasa event. At ayon kay Atty. Kapunan, “During the rehearsal most of the people on stage were foreigners and even the choreographer was a foreigner. “Mr. Martin wanted to voice out his concern, particularly with the leash strapped on the neck of the lady model, but he failed to successfully communicate his thought because of the language barrier. “Mr. Martin kept mum on his opinion on the matter because it was impressed upon him that the whole show was already finalized and he felt insignificant as to cause a scene and demand an overhaul of the entire segment,” sabi pa ng abogada. Hindi raw gusto ni Coco na makasakit ng damdamin ng babae, lalo pa’t masyado niyang mahal ang kanyang lola, ang kanyang ina at tatlong kapatid na babae.  “Mr. Martin feels extremely sorry for what transpired and admitted that this incident taught him a major lesson to be more sensitive and mindful of the repercussions of his portrayals. Dagdag pa ni Atty. Kapunan, “Let it be clarified, however, that Mr. Martin did not have the slightest intention on his mind to insult women by this single unfortunate act. Mr. Martin has high regard for women just as he respects and loves his mother, his grandmother, and his three sisters.” Bago ito, humingi na ng sorry si Coco sa lahat ng mga nasaktan sa ginawa niya sa Bench, “Humihingi po ako ng patawad at pag-intindi sa mga kinauukulan kasama ang pangako na magiging mas sensitibo ako sa mga isyung may patungkol sa karapatang pang-tao at pagkababaihan.”
