“Last January 17, 2023 around 6:30 PM nasa work po ako. Pumunta po si Ma’am Alex kung saan po ako nagwowork,” Crisostomo narrated.

“Then nag apologize and nagsorry siya saken tapos konting kwentuhan at sinabi ko po sa kanya na ok na po yung nangyari. Ok na po kami.”

"On my birthday, God taught me a hard and important lesson. Humility, kindness and better judgment," she said.

"I am truly sorry, Kuya Allan."
