The actor was quoted as saying “I just read an online article about an incident which is deeply upsetting because it doesn’t tell the right story. In the article I was quoted as saying ‘I am not here to promote Albay’, something I never said or would ever say,” he said.
Xian Lim narrated further that “Earlier, the author of the online article handed me a coffee table book of Albay and a t-shirt to wear. My exact words to her were ‘Sorry po, hindi ko maisuot yung tshirt kasi baka magka-conflict sa clothing endorsement ko. Pasensiya na po.’ he stated.
According to Xian Lim, he deeply apologize to Governor Salceda and the people of Albay for the misunderstanding about the reasons for his refusal to wear the t shirt. He also noted that if he will be cleared by his clothing endorsement, he would be more than happy to wear it online and on air.
