“Madami na ang nasabi tungkol sa aking misis dahil sa nangyari noong kanyang birthday celebration,” began Lipa, Batangas Councilor Mikee Morada’s post on social media.The husband of actress-vlogger Alex Gonzaga turned to social media to express support for his wife, especially as she has been subject to a lot of bashing recently due to her behavior.“Bilang asawa at head ng aming pamilya, nais ko lang sabihin na nagkamali ang aking asawa,” admitted Mikee.Last January 16, Alex celebrated her birthday with family and friends. When she was presented with her birthday cake, she suddenly put her hand on the cake and smeared icing on waiter Allan Crisostomo’s forehead. The moment was caught on now-deleted video and went viral on social media. While her actions were meant in jest, many netizens were appalled at Alex’s behavior.Initially, a statement was released by Peter Ledesma, the Gonzaga family’s publicist, explaining that no harm was intended and that Allan was actually considered a friend of the family already.“This Allan, one of the waiters of Florabel Resto and Catering Service in Valle Verde Pasig, is a friend of Mommy Pinty Gonzaga and [the] Soriano family. Kaya majority of the event of Gonzaga and Soriano family ay sila ang kinukuha ni Mommy Pinty na mag-cater ng food and beverages,” Peter explained.He debunked rumors that Alex was drunk at the time and continued on to say that Allan was used to Alex’s antics already.“At itong si Allan ay laging kabiruan ni Mommy Pinty and Alex at ito ang parating nagse-serve sa kanila. Kaya tuwing nagkikita ay binabati agad ni Allan ang mag-mommy, magiliw ito sa kanila,” said Peter. “Hindi naman magagawa ni Alex ang magbiro at magpunas ng cake, kung hindi sila magkakilala ng said waiter, na sanay na sa pagiging mapagbiro at kikay ni Alex.”Her husband Mikee has accepted his wife’s lapse in judgement, but also pointed out that she has already seen the error of her ways.“Madaming mga rason na maari kong sabihin kung bakit niya nagawa iyon pero walang excuse sa kanyang pagkakamali. Nagkamali talaga siya,” Mikee admitted. “Na recognize niya ang kanyang pagkakamali at napagdesisyonan na agad na humingi ng dispensa kay Kuya Allan.”It was last Tuesday (January 17) night that Alex went to Allan to personally apologize for her behavior.“Last January 17, 2023 around 6:30 PM nasa work po ako. Pumunta po si Ma’am Alex kung saan po ako nagwowork,” shared Allan on a written and signed statement.“Then nag apologize and nagsorry siya saken tapos konting kwentuhan at sinabi ko po sa kanya na ok na po yung nangyari. Ok na po kami,” he confirmed.<div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://uat-ent-image-api.abs-cbn.com/UAT/editorImage/Allan-Crisostomo-public-statement.jpg" style="width:800px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div>Alex has also issued a public apology on her social media account, admitting her fault.&quot;On my birthday, God taught me a hard and important lesson,” said the actress. “Humility, kindness and better judgment.”She went on to express her apologies to Allan, as well as to her family who have also come under fire.&quot;I am truly sorry, Kuya Allan,” apologized Alex. &quot;To my family, I am sorry for causing you pain and embarrassment. I will rise from this a wiser and better person.”<div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://uat-ent-image-api.abs-cbn.com/UAT/editorImage/Alex-Gonzaga-public-statement.jpg" style="width:800px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div>Since the video went viral, fellow celebrities and influencers have been calling out Alex for being rude. Others also came out to share their personal experiences about working with Alex. While there were a handful who came to her defense, the majority felt strongly for the waiter and called out Alex for being a “blatant bully”. Netizens pointed out that Alex’s actions were considered conduct unbecoming of anyone. Trending topics on Twitter included the couple’s names as well as the words “bastos” and “GMRC” relating to the incident. Even after Alex’s apology, criticisms have still been pouring in.In his post, Mikee came to Alex’s defense, feeling that the criticisms have already gone out of hand.“Pero kahit na sa kanyang paghingi ng dispensa at gawin ay may masasabi pa din sa kanya,” he pointed out. “Tanggap natin yan pero bilang asawa masakit yung mga nababasa ko na sobra naman na pati ang pinagdaanan nya bilang babae ay naungkat pa. Kahit nagkakamali ang isang tao wala pa rin tayo karapatan murahin ito.”Mikee reiterated that Alex has already made amends with Allan personally, and felt that things have already been blown out of proportion to the point that it is affecting Allan and his employer.“Pinili ni Alex ang maging tahimik at nagawa na ng asawa ko ang paghingi ng dispensa sa taong pinaka naapektohan sa nangyaring ito, kay Kuya Allan,” Mikee pointed out. “Nakakahiya din sa employer ni Kuya Allan na ngayon ay napilitan nang maglabas ng statement dahil ayaw silang tigilan ng mga nais na lalong magpalaki ng isyung ito. Humihingi kami ng paumanhin sa inyo.”In the midst of all the controversy, Mikee assured Alex of his understanding, love, and support.“Catherine, masakit at mahirap na lesson ito pero ang mahalaga ay ginawa mo ang dapat mong gawin at inako mo ang iyong pagkakamali,” Mikee said to Alex.“Patuloy man ang mga masasabing hindi maganda patungkol sa iyo at sa atin ay nandito ako para sa iyo,” he promised his wife. “Pero may awa Ang Panginoon, dadating ang oras maghihilom din ang lahat. I love you!”<div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://uat-ent-image-api.abs-cbn.com/UAT/editorImage/Mikee-Morada-supports-Alex-Gonzaga.jpg" style="width:800px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div>
