Raffy Tulfo slams Awra Briguela over bar incident
RAFFY TULFO – The incumbent senator slammed Kapamilya talent Awra Briguela over the latter’s bar incident.
Awra, whose real name is McNeal Briguela, made headlines last week following his arrest after an altercation at a bar in Poblacion, Makati City. In the CCTV footage posted by social media influencer Xian Gaza, it can be deduced that it was Awra and his group who insinuated the scuffle. In the video, Awra was forcing a man to take off his clothes, especially his pants.
Awra went wild, prompting the man and his companions to ask for help from the authorities. When the police arrived at the scene, he was promptly handcuffed and brought to the police station. Awra stayed at the detention for a day or two until his release on Saturday. He was released after posting bail amounting to P6K.
Among those who reacted on the issue is Senator Raffy Tulfo. In his program “Wanted sa Radyo,” Tulfo stated that Awra’s actions went too far. “Nakita natin na talagang si Awra, bastos dito. Sumobra na siya sa kanyang kalasingan kaya naging bastos na siya,” said Tulfo. “Kumbaga feeling entitled na siya. Hindi niya dapat ginawa ‘yon porke’t siya’y vlogger, celebrity… meron na siyang karapatan na mambastos? Heck no!” added the senator.
Tulfo further emphasized that what happened to Awra should serve as an example to the public. “Walang puwang sa ating lipunan ang maging mayabang ang sinumang celebrity. Kahit sino pa man dapat umayos-ayos ka ng ‘yong pag-uugali,” Tulfo stated.
