Statement of Awra Briguela’s friend over an altercation at Makati bar
AWRA BRIGUELA – A friend of the actress took to the social media platform, Instagram to make clarifications about the altercation involving her outside a bar in Makati.
On Thursday morning around 5 a.m., the Kapamilya star whose real name is McNeal Briguela, was arrested by the authorities after allegedly causing a disturbance at the Bolt Hole Bar in Poblacion, Makati. In a video, Briguela can be seen in a fistfight with a certain Mark Christian Ravana and his group.
According to the Southern Police District (SPD), Awra Briguela and her friends approached Ravana and demanded that he take off his shirt. When Ravana refused, Briguela allegedly followed him and tore his shirt, resulting in a heated argument that escalated as Briguela’s friends joined in.
In response, Ravana and Angelo Nino Gulmatico, a bouncer at the bar, sought help from the Poblacion Police Substation, and the officers quickly arrived at the scene. However, Briguela resisted arrest and reportedly used offensive language while the police attempted to handcuff her, as depicted in the viral video.
However, Briguela’s friend, content creator Zayla Nakajima, contradicted Ravana and Gulmatico’s claims in a now-deleted Facebook post. Nakajima asserted that Ravana had made a sexual harassment attempt towards her, and Briguela was simply defending Nakajima and their group.
Here’s the official statement of Zayla Nakajima:
Meanwhile, Briguela is currently in custody and will remain detained until the inquest proceedings take place. He’s facing multiple charges such as physical injuries, alarm and sc@ndal, disobedience to authority, and direct assault.
