Daiana Menezes, umapela ng privacy kaugnay sa sinapit ng asawa

Nagsalita na ang Brazilian beauty na si Daiana Menezes tungkol sa nangyari sa asawang si dating Cagayan de Oro Rep. Benjo Benaldo at hiniling sa publiko na sana'y respetuhin ang kanilang "privacy."

Magugunitang nitong nakaraang linggo, sinugod sa ospital si Benaldo matapos itong matagpuang duguan at may tama ng bala sa dibdib sa loob ng Batasan Pambansa. Umugong ang balitang nagtangka umanong magpakamatay ang dating mambabatas.

Ang statement ni Daiana ay binigay ng staff ni Benaldo na si Anton Villafrance kay GMA reporter na si Aubrey Carampel.

Gayundin, siniguro naman ni Daiana na sasagutin ng asawa nito ang mga katanungan sa nasabing isyu kapag magaling na ito.

Narito ang buong statement:

"First of all, I would like to clarify that any statement or interviews aired by the media prior to this statement is totally unreliable as this is my FIRST and ONLY statement relative to what happened last Thursday.

“While my husband is still recovering from his injuries, his family and I would like to personally appeal to everybody to please grant us some much needed privacy as we go trough this difficult time.

“As to what transpired last June 27, my husband, Benjo assured me that he himself would address all of you regarding the matter when he is fit to do so. What I can relay to you however is that the reason behind the incident are the advocacies he strongly believe in as relayed to me by Benjo last Saturday.

“For now, we please that you reserve both conclusions and judgments until after an official statement issued by my husband.

“Meanwhile, I would just like to say with certainty that whatever reasons surrounded this misfortune, they do not include any reasons stemming from our relationship as a married couple. In spite of our recent differences, we still continue to love each other. We have vowed to remain committed to each other and to support one another as we weather this storm together.

“Lastly, our families humbly ask that you offer prayers for his speedy recovery.

Thank you very much."
