Ex-PBA player Roger Yap speaks up after Mayor Vico Sotto said a "former PBA player" mistreated a Pasig City personnel.
Ex-PBA player Roger Yap has defended himself after Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto said a "former PBA player" mistreated a Pasig City personnel who was distributing financial aid to residents.
Although Yap was not named by the mayor, netizens guessed it was Yap, who also aired his side in Mariz Umali's report for 24 Oras. He clarified that he did not lash out at the Pasig City hall personnel and Mayor Vico Sotto misunderstood what really happened.
Yap said, "Ang problema lang kasi dinagdagan 'yung kuwento. Ang dumating kay Mayor, nagmumura daw ako, nagwawala daw ako diyan," he said.
Yap added that he only told the personnel that they should have distributed relief goods instead of food coupons.
"Kasi kaya n'yo naman gumawa ng bahay-bahay nung Christmas at saka 'tong PNP, bakit ngayon sa halagang 300 hindi n'yo makaya?"
He also said that he and Mayor Vico Sotto have already talked regarding the matter.
Yap said, "Ok naman. Humingi rin naman siya ng pasensya sa akin.
"Pero syempre sa side ko, parang tapos na. Ang damage, nangyari na," he said.
He also pleaded for netizens to avoid online bullying.
"Sana 'yung lahat ng mga humuhusga sa akin, sana tigilan n'yo na lang 'wag n'yo na ako i-bash," Yap said.
"Kasi sa akin naman, para naman sa lahat, hindi naman 'yun para sa akin lang."
