Rey Pamaran replies to Robin Padilla’s plea

MANILA, Philippines - Rey Pamaran replied to Robin Padilla’s plea to forgive actress Melissa Mendez.

On Friday, Padilla posted his request to Pamaran on his Instagram account, adding that he’s hoping the two parties opt to settle the issue privately.

Pamaran filed a slander complaint with P3 million payment for damages against Mendez after she allegedly hit him and a flight staff in a Cebu Pacific flight bound for Pagadian City on March 20.

“Sana maintindihan nyo po na ako ang binastos, minura, sinaktan ng physical at ang biktima,” Pamaran replied to Padilla, through his statement posted on his Instagram account on Friday.

He also pointed out that he’s the same age as Mendez, and that he really didn’t mean to file a complaint against Mendez.

“Ngunit yun lang ang tanging paraan para mapilitan siya na sabihin yung buong katotohanan,” he explained. “Gusto ko sabihin niya on TV ang totoong nangyayari sa insidente at hindi puro kasinungalingan lang para maprotektahan lang niya sarili niya.”

Meanwhile, Pamaran also lashed back to the people who say he’s only after the money he could get if he wins the case.

“Paano kung si Melissa na lang bibigyan ko ng 3 million para sabihin ang katotohanan? Hindi ko kelangan ang 3 million,” he said.
