'THIS A HUGE CHUNK OF HUMBLE PIE THAT I MUST INGEST, BECAUSE I HAVE ERRED'

Cebuano personality Jude Bacalso has apologized over the incident that happened in a restaurant in Cebu City on Sunday, July 21, 2024.

In a statement posted on Facebook, Bacalso said that she talked to the restaurant management earlier Monday to settle the issue, but the waiter involved in the incident was not around. She said she apologized to the restaurant staff and the management for what happened.

"I also realized that in the impassioned pursuit of my advocacy, I could have done with a little measure of kindness, sadly quite absent in the ruckus this has all unnecessarily created when it was made public without our knowledge. I made a personal apology to the group present, and requested if I may do so for the concerned waiter. I am also making it very public with this post, as it has become quite public fodder," Bacalso wrote.

"My apologies also to the rest of the staff who are disheartened by the way things have escalated, as well as to the customers present at that time. This a huge chunk of humble pie that I must ingest, because I have erred. May we start here with, as the supervisor pointed out, an uphill path to reconciliation and we hope you will be able to allow us and yourselves to do so unhampered so we may all learn and heal from this," Bacalso added.
