And to my Team Laban Kasama Ang Bayan and to my SMNI NEWS Family, good day.
With what happened in the controversial position that we have taken earlier regarding the issue involving our commentaries against Mayor Magalong. Especially the ones pertaining to CPP-NPA-NDF in relations to the position of Mayor Magalong as the Mayor of Baguio City, where this current situation created a lot of internal conflict among the supposedly allied and friendly forces of the NATIONAL TASK FORCE TO END LOCAL COMMUNIST ARMED CONFLICT/NTF ELCAC; and now that Pastor Apollo Quiboloy had already humbly made his personal public apology to Mayor Magalong after the latter aired his side of the issue and story via SMNI NEWS, I deem it necessary also, and my duty and obligation to publicly issue an apology to Mayor Magalong.
Publicly in the Program of Laban Kasama ang Bayan, on Monday, January 23, 2023, live on air via our program episode. For the sake of unity, reconciliation and accountability as well as part of my personal commitment to SMNI, to Pastor, to the program Laban Kasama Ang Bayan, and most especially as my commitment to the Filipino people, that I shall fight against the CPP-NPA-NDF and all its forms and modalities. With my fervor and patriotic commitment, I shall do my fight on the basis of principled, just and accountable crusade based on TRUTH and FAIRNESS, WITH COMMITMENT TO HONESTY AND SINCERITY as the foundation of such crusade and advocacy– at all times.
With such clarity of purpose and sincerity of my intention to serve the higher mission of defeating the real evil and destroyer of our country for over half a century already–which is the CPP-NPA-NDF and all its colluders, conspirators and enablers, I shall humbly make a personal public apology to Mayor Magalong, live on air, during our program Laban Kasama Ang Bayan at SMNI NEWS, on Monday, January 23.
Such public on-air apology is to be done as an act of my atonement for the pain and wound that I personally caused Mayor Magalong, especially against his honor, dignity and integrity both as an individual person and as a public official. Including the pain that I may have caused to Mayor Magalong’s family, friends and loved ones.
My public apology is expressed without any condition or reservation on my part, and with readiness as well to face the consequences of my actions including ACCOUNTABILITY and DISCIPLINE, or even consequences of facing legal actions, such as the right of Mayor Magalong to file legal suits against me, and even DISCIPLINARY ACTION to be imposed by SMNI EDITORIAL AND MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY, that may include administrative sanctions against me as a program anchor for Laban Kasama Ang Bayan program.
For the higher interest of closure and moving forward towards unifying all our allies, friendly forces, positive forces and sympathizers from all ranks and sectors of our society, in order to strongly achieve our principal mission goal of decisively defeating and vanquishing the REAL AND MAIN ENEMY that persistently and pervasively destroys our country and our people– the CPP-NPA-NDF and their colluders and enablers. I ISSUE THE PUBLIC APOLOGY TO MAYOR MAGALONG. NO IFs and BUTs; NO CONDITION AT ALL. AND I AM READY TO FACE ACCOUNTABILITY AND CONSEQENCES FOR MY ACTIONS CONCERNING MAYOR MAGALONG.
May this message of mine be also become a balm of easing the pain being felt by concerned PHILIPPINE MILITARY ACADEMY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION, GRADUATES OF PMA, INCLUDING FORMER SENATOR LACSON, the family and loved ones of Mayor Magalong and his friends, as well as his constituents in Baguio City.
Facing the consequences of every action that I take and being ready to humbly submit myself for accountability to the actions that I made; and be ready always to faithfully and sincerely apologize for having taken such action without due regard for observance of DUE DILIGENCE, PRUDENCE AND PROPRIETY. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE THE APPROPRIATE STANDARD for maturity, professionalism and responsibility in any duty or advocacy and crusade that every individual takes on, and that includes me.
May we all stand together to continue our mission goal of building a unified nation, a consolidated people that endeavor in unison and harmony in order to accomplish our mission: DECISIVELY DEFEAT AND COMPLETELY VANQUISH THE EVIL DESTROYER OF OUR COUNTRY AND OUR PEOPLE– THE TRUE AND REAL ENEMIES OF OUR STATE; THE REAL DESTROYER OF OUR NATIONAL PEACE, SECURITY AND DEVELOPMENT… THAT IS THE CPP-NPA-NDF AND THEIR CONSPIRATORS. LET US ALWAYS LOVE OUR GOD AND OUR COUNTRY; AND UNITE TO SERVE THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR PEOPLE!
