Mikee Morada admits his wife Alex Gonzaga's fault over controversial birthday video, issues apology
Lipa city councilor Mikee Morada broke his silence over the controversial birthday video of his wife Alex Gonzaga.
The video captured by social media influencer Dani Barretto on Alex's 35th birthday celebration showed the actress-vlogger smearing the face of a waiter with cake icing. The waiter was later identified as Allan Crisostomo, who works at the Florabelo Resto and Catering Service.
In a lengthy post on Facebook yesterday January 18, Mikee admitted that his wife made a terrible mistake.
He said, “Madami na ang nasabi tungkol sa aking misis dahil sa nangyari noong kanyang birthday celebration. Bilang asawa at head ng aming pamilya, nais ko lang sabihin na nagkamali ang aking asawa. Madaming mga rason na maari kong sabihin kung bakit niya nagawa iyon pero walang excuse sa kanyang pagkakamali. Nagkamali talaga siya,”
Mikee added, “Na recognize niya ang kanyang pagkakamali at napagdesisyonan na agad na humingi ng dispensa kay Kuya Allan.”
Mikee also reminded everyone to be careful in using foul words directed against his wife, which she doesn't deserve saying, “Pero kahit na sa kanyang paghingi ng dispensa at gawin ay may masasabi pa din sa kanya. Tanggap natin yan pero bilang asawa masakit yung mga nababasa ko na sobra naman na pati ang pinagdaanan nya bilang babae ay naungkat pa.
“Kahit nagkakamali ang isang tao wala pa rin tayo karapatan murahin ito. Pinili ni Alex ang maging tahimik at nagawa na ng asawa ko ang paghingi ng dispensa sa taong pinaka naapektohan sa nangyaring ito, kay Kuya Allan.”
“Nakakahiya din sa employer ni Kuya Allan na ngayon ay napilitan nang maglabas ng statement dahil ayaw silang tigilan ng mga nais na lalong magpalaki ng isyung ito. Humihingi kami ng paumanhin sa inyo.”
Despite the controversy, Mikee expressed his support to Alex and stressed that what happened should be a learning opportunity for her.
“Catherine, masakit at mahirap na lesson ito pero ang mahalaga ay ginawa mo ang dapat mong gawin at inako mo ang iyong pagkakamali.
“Patuloy man ang mga masasabing hindi maganda patungkol sa iyo at sa atin ay nandito ako para sa iyo. Pero may awa ang Panginoon, dadating ang oras maghihilom din ang lahat. I love you!”
Meanwhile, Alex also issued an apology on Twitter and made a promise to be a better person.
She tweeted, “I am truly sorry, Kuya Allan.
"To my family, I am sorry for causing you pain and embarrassment. I will rise from this a wiser and better person."
In her vlog on January 16, 2021, Alex revealed that she already tied the knot with Mikee in November 2020. They got engaged in December 2019 at the 1881 Heritage in Hong Kong.
