ENCHONG Dee has apologized to Drivers United for Mass Progress and Equal Rights (DUMPER) party-list representative, Cong. Claudine Diana “Dendee” Bautista, over his controversial tweet that he called reckless.
During the weekend, Enchong retweeted a post about the wedding of the congresswoman held at the posh and members-only enclave of Balesin Island.
The original post showed the campaign photo of Bautista as DUMPER party-list nominee and the congresswoman in her Michael Cinco wedding gown.
The original poster then posed a question to the DUMPER party-list representative.
“Drivers and Commuters Rep who voted NO to ABS-CBN franchise got married in a Michael Cinco gown in a lavish peony-filled ceremony in Balesin in the middle of a pandemic. How ostentatious. May vaccination drive ba sya for drivers and commuters?” the original post said.
It was this post that Enchong retweeted on his Twitter account, adding his own caption in the process.
“The money for commuters and drivers went to her wedding. Let’s not prolong this conversation and don’t say otherwise,” the actor wrote in his caption.
The actor’s retweet was picked up by numerous news outlets and earlier this week, the issue exploded with Enchong’s tweet among those cited by bashers lambasting Cong. Bautista.
On Tuesday night, the actor apologized to Bautista, saying his tweet was “reckless.”
“I have been reckless in the tweet I posted, and I take full responsibility for my lapse in judgment,” Enchong wrote in his apology tweet.(KAMI)
