Not a word,” she admitted.</p><p>The <em>Can’t Buy Me Love </em>actress recalled how she walked out of the stage and hugged Jojit who was waiting for his cue backstage.

The very thing that every actor dreaded was happening to me,” she added.</p><p>Agot then shared how she’s been working “nonstop” the past months but maintained this wasn’t an excuse for what happened. </p><p>“I just overestimated my capacity as a workaholic, as nearing senior citizen, and as someone who takes the job too seriously.

I love you for looking out for me,” she said.</p><p>“The quality of work that you do is something to be proud of. But more than that, your humanity, compassion and ethics as producers. You only had my well-being in mind. I love you all and my deepest gratitude for being so gracious and considerate,” she continued.</p><p>Agot then stated that despite what happened, she assured the fans and audience who anticipated to watch the play that they will be back. </p><p>“Para sa audience, I apologize. I apologize for leaving you hanging. I apologize that you didn’t get to see our work. Work that we are utterly proud of, work we enjoy doing, work that we are in love with. But… chill lang. Babalik kami,” she ended. </p><p>Friends and fans of Agot comforted her in the comment section and assured what she experienced was normal.</p>
