She maintained that she doesn’t want to be the victim of the story and takes full accountability of what happened.</p><p>“To the public, I am sorry you got to see that very intimate side of me. Ganun talaga ako pag nabigay ng pagmamahal. It was supposed to be private. It was supposed to be a private, intimate thing,” she said.</p><p>“I’m sad na nakita yun ng tao and yes I don&#x27;t want to play the victim here. Nagkamali din talaga ako. I want to say sorry to those people I have hurt. I reached out to Jam last November and I didn&#x27;t get a reply,” she continued.</p><p>“I’m truly sorry to those people who supported me for 10 years. Alam nila lahat na ginapang ko yung career ko mapunta lang san ko gusto. Ginawa ko lahat, pinaghirapan ko lahat sa tulong nila–– nagagawa ko yung mga gusto ko,” she shared.</p><p>She admitted feeling naked every time she goes out and is so embarrassed about what happened.</p><p>“I don&#x27;t know where I&#x27;m gonna go. I don&#x27;t know saan ako pupunta. Yung dignidad ko hindi ko na mahanap. Whenever I go out, whenever I walk I feel like a naked woman walking. I’m so embarrassed and I’m sorry you get to see that,” she apologized.</p><p>Maris assured her fans that she will continue moving forward as she is only human and will be learning from her mistakes.</p><p>“I can assure you tuloy pa rin ako. Tuloy pa rin ang laban. Magtratrabaho pa rin ako kahit mahirap. Hindi pa rin namamatay yung apoy sa puso ko.”</p><p>“What you saw was not a perfect human. I’m far from being perfect. What you saw was a human being and I really am just a human being,” she ended her statement.</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DDOSvDgyNhl/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=630&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A7028798%2C%22ls%22%3A252390.5%2C%22le%22%3A252402.29999999702%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="969" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Anthony has yet to release as a statement as of this writing.</p>
