Awra Briguela posted on her social media page an open letter to people whom she disappointed after an incident at a bar she was involved in last year.

After almost a year since her viral club brawl last year, television personality Awra Briguela took to her social media page an open letter to people who she disappointed after the incident. 

On Tuesday night, May 7, Awra posted a lengthy message expressing her regrets and asking for apologies for what happened at a club in Poblacion, Makati City last June 2023.

 “An open letter to the people I've disappointed, to the people who were involved, to the ones who believed in me, and especially to my family,” Awra penned at the beginning of her letter.

“Gusto ko simulan sa pag hingi ng tawad sa pamilya ko lalong lalo na sa magulang ko. Patawad kung mas pinili kong takbuhan at talikuran ang problema. Patawad kung wala akong tapang harapin ang mga issues naten (sa) isa't isa. Patawad kung mas pinili kong tumakbo at mag pakasaya nang panandalian imbis na ayusin natin ang problema,” she expressed.

Awra also expressed how the incident affected her family and promised them that she will do her best to set things straight and do better in her life.

“Patawad kung nag bago ako at nag iba ang ugali ko. Alam kong hindi magiging madali pero pipilitin kong mag bago at susubukan kong ayusin ang mga desisyon ko sa buhay.” 

“Ang tanging hiling ko lang sa ngayon ay naway sana wag kayong mapagod na bigyan ako ng pag kakataon mag bago at bumawi sa lahat ng pag kakamali ko at ang pagkakataon na 'to ay hinding hindi ko na sasayangin,” she continued.

The Kapamilya star also wrote her apologies to the people who were involved in her Poblacion fiasco and humbly took responsibility for the incident.

“The mistakes and all the damages that were done was mine and I am willing to take accountability and responsibility. I will take all of these as a lesson that I will carry for the rest of my life,” she stated.

Awra then revealed that she and the other party already had a private conversation and settled things between them.

“I know we're in good terms already and settled things privately but still want to say sorry and thank you for allowing and giving me the chance to apologize and for accepting it,” she added.

Early in the morning of June 29 last year, several reports circulated online about Awra getting arrested for several charges including alarm and scandal, physical injuries, direct assault, and disobedience to authority after being involved in a scuffle outside a bar in Poblacion.

Different stories arose about malicious comments from Awra’s side as well as the other party that resulted in a physical brawl.

Snippets of videos were also posted online, which became a hot topic over quite some time. Awra’s friends, fans, and some netizens also came to defend her with the hashtag #JusticeForAwra.

In her open letter, Awra expressed gratitude and extended her apologies for letting everyone who defended her down.

“To the people who believed in me, I want to thank you all as well and I'm very sorry for letting you all down. I will make it up to you by correcting, fixing, and owning up my mistakes.”

Awra also remarked that she understands if it took some time for them to forgive her just like how she has been trying to forgive herself up until now.

She then ended her letter with a note of her remorse and hope to move forward in her life.

“All of these were such a real nightmare and I don't want to let the fear win again. This definitely served as a big big lesson for me,” she said.

In Vice Ganda's cooking vlog with Awra, the latter first addressed the incident, saying that she had learned her lesson and took responsibility for what happened.

"I’m okay. I'm getting better, I'm getting stronger… I owned up to my mistakes," she said.
