MANILA — PBA player Fran Yu has apologized to barangay kagawad Victorino Farrales following the commotion at Bgy. 350, Sta. Cruz, Manila on Tuesday, the latter confirmed on Wednesday.

The incident happened after Yu parked his motorcycle in front of a fast-food chain near the barangay hall, which, according to barangay officials, was not a designated parking area.

According to Farrales, he and Yu had an initial discussion on Tuesday evening regarding the incident.

Fran Yu denies hurting barangay kagawad: 'Bakit ko naman itutulak?'

“Nag-sorry siya. Pero hindi ko pa tatanggapin sa ngayon kasi let’s give it until Thursday. Ang sabi ko sa kanya, naalala ko, pag-isipan niyo muna ‘yong ginawa mo. Kasi it’s something na talagang hindi rin siya acceptable,” said Farrales.

Farrales earlier told ABS-CBN News that he plans to file charges against Yu. However, he now said he will see what happens during their next meeting this week. 

“Ang question sa amin is kung maaayos pa ba or what? Sabi ko, hindi naman ako close sa ganyan. ‘Yong una kong sinabi sa inyo na ifa-file ko ‘yan, but lumapit naman itong tao, e... Hindi naman mortal sin ‘yong nagawa no’ng tao. Siguro may chance pa. Bigyan natin ng chance ‘yong usapan kung ano man ito," he said.

Barangay chairman Efleda Dela Cruz, who was present at the time of commotion, hopes both parties can reconcile, stressing that the incident might just be a result of heightened emotions.

“Sana nga magkaayos sila. Gusto ko ngang magkaayos kasi maliit na bagay lang di ba," said Dela Cruz.

Meanwhile, Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Commissioner Willie Marcial stated he has to know first what really transpired on the incident.

“Kailangan kong alamin. Hindi ko pa nakikita ang video. Pangalawa, kailangan ko munang makausap si Fran Yu," said Marcial.

In a text message, Fran Yu’s father, Freddie Yu, confirmed they will meet with Farrales on Thursday, February 20.
