TONY LABRUSCA
NAPILITAN na ring humingi ng paumanhin ang Kapamilya hunk na si Tony Labrusca matapos mag-iskandalo sa NAIA Terminal 1 last Thursday.
Bumandera ang balitang nanigaw at nagmura ang binata sa harap ng mga immigration officers sa airport sa pamamagitan ng Facebook post ng isang netizen na nakasaksi sa insidente na isa rin palang staff sa immigration.
Kinuwestiyon ng binata kung bakit 30 days lang ang ibinigay sa kanya para manatili sa bansa. Dito napag-alaman na wala palang working visa ang aktor sa Pilipinas at tourist visa lang ang hawak nito.
Sa kanyang Twitter account, nag-post si Tony ng mahabang mensahe hinggil sa nasabing kontrobersya. Kasabay nito ang paghin
Narito ang ilang bahagi ng kanyang official statement: “I want to extend my sincerest apology to the superior Immigration Officer (I.O.) who was on duty and I had a talk with yesterday morning, 03 Jan 2019.
“After lining up and crossing the immigration, I went up to the superior IO and we ended up going inside an enclosed space inside her office to discuss privately.
“I admit I was a bit frustrated and that I asked why I was only given 30 days to stay in the country this time. I was unaware of the policy that because I was not with my mother, I did not qualify for a Balikbayan stamp.
“It was very upsetting for me. And I’m sorry that I somehow took my frustrations out on the Officer.
“But never did I ever call anyone stupid, nor an idiot much less brag about being a celebrity.
“I know for a fact that the officer is merely doing her job. My biggest mistake perhaps was letting my emotions get the better of me and again I’m sorry.
“It was a long flight from Canada and while it is not a perfect excuse, I would like to start this year fresh both in my life and the people I’ve encountered with. Once again, I am deeply sorry for my reaction.—Tony Labrusca.”
