Road rage suspect who used No. 8 plates apologizes, explains anger

The suspect in the viral road rage incident involving an SUV with a special No. '8' plate has apologized.

According to Chino Gaston's report on "24 Oras", Jojo Valerio said his family was with him in the vehicle when the altercation started.

He said his child was hurt in the process.

"Involved po ang aking pamilya na kasama po sa loob ng sasakyan. Nasaktan po ang anak ko," Valerio said.

"Hindi naman po siguro ako mag-aarte ng gano'n at mananakit kung hindi po...kung wala pong dahilan," he added.

Valerio remained mum on how he came to use license plate reserved for members of the House of Representatives.     

"Gusto kong humingi ng paumanhin du'n sa mga taong na-offend. Sana magsibli pong aral sa lahat na 'wag naman tayong maging one-sided sa lahat ng bagay," Valerio said. —Margaret Claire Layug/NB, GMA News
