SAKSI ang singer-actor at kaibigan ni Tony Labrusca na si Alex Diaz sa nangyaring kontrobersiya sa NAIA Terminal 1 nitong nakaraang Huwebes.
Dinepensahan nito ang kaibigan sa lahat ng mga basher at hater na nanghusga agad kahit hindi pa nagbibigay ng pahayag si Tony sa tunay na nangyari.
Kuwento ni Alex, nasaksihan niya ang pakikipag-usap ni Tony sa immigration officers sa airport tungkol sa 30 days na ibinigay sa aktor para mag-stay sa Pilipinas dahil nga hindi ito qualified sa Balikbayan Visa program.
Nag-sorry na si Tony sa nangyaring insidente pero iginiit nito na wala siyang minura sa mga nakausap niyang immigration officers at staff sa NAIA.
Pero para kay Alex, kailangang malaman ng madlang pipol ang nasaksihan niya. Siya ang kasama ni Tony na nagbakasyon sa Canada at kasabay na dumating sa airport.
Aniya sa kanyang tweet, “I was also at immigration & saw the whole thing go down. So trust me when I say kudos to you homie for rising above it. @tonythesharky wasn’t the only one at fault but he was made to look like the bad guy when both sides had faults. Proud of you homie.
“Nobody mentioned the fact that while Tony was supposed to be having a private conversation with the Superior I.O 3 I.O’s (immigration officer) came into the office and approached me on the couch trying to fish for information as to what was happening. I dont think thats their job.
“I was also met with a not so friendly i.o at immigration leaving the country who saw my canadian passport and said ‘Oh anong gusto mong gawin ko dito?’ in a sarcastic tone until i pulled up my Filipino Passport. Immigration isnt (sun emoji) and (bouquet of flowers emoji) by any stretch of the imagination,” mahabang paliwanag ni Alex.
Hirit pa niya, “Everyone is human and capable of mistakes even Tony who got heated and these IO’s who claimed not to know who he was at all but proceeded to blast him on social media right off the bat. Sana we hunt for both sides always before passing judgement, slandering or defaming people.”
