Mayor Albee Benitez apologized to actress Ivana Alawi and her family for the controversies and criticisms they received from the video posted online.
The video showed Ivana and Mayor Albee on the airport queueing. Mayor Albee made it clear that it was all just a chance encounter.
On Facebook, Mayor Albee posted:
“I am fully aware of the video footage that has been circulating which unfortunately does not accurately explain why I was in Tokyo. I went there on a business trip as stated in my official travel order.
Speculations involving Ms Ivana Alawi are untrue and only serve to put malice into what was clearly a chance encounter.
I apologize to Ms Alawi and her family who have been unfairly dragged into issues concerning my private life.
There is no truth to any and all the rumors spreading and I am setting the record straight to avoid further hurt and damage to them.
Maraming salamat po.”
