John Estrada: “Honestly, I don’t owe anyone an explanation. But once and for all, I’m going to say this, …”
JOHN ESTRADA – The “Batang Quiapo” actor reacted to a viral video where he can be seen relaxing at bar with a mystery woman.
It can be recalled that a netizen uploaded a video on Facebook last October 28, 2024 where the actor was spotted inside the bar with a mystery woman. Although the uploader didn’t reveal when and where the said video was taken, the uploader captioned the post, “Mag chill mo na dw si rigor lena.”
The first part of the video showed that the actor wrapped his arm around the woman’s shoulder, while the second part of the video showed that the two were relaxed inside the bar while looking at the phone.
John then issued a short statement to PEP.ph about the viral video. According to him, he doesn’t owe anyone an explanation and he has every right to befriend who he likes to be friends with, just like any normal human being.
“Honestly, I don’t owe anyone an explanation. But once and for all, I’m going to say this, I have every right to befriend who I like to be friends with. Male or female. Like any normal human being. The only difference is I’m a public figure,” he said in a short statement to PEP.ph.
Meanwhile, John’s wife Priscilla Meirelles made a cryptic remark about dealing with someone who treats people like “an option”.
Priscilla posted a photo on Threads saying those who treat people like an option should be relegated to the memory. She also shared on Instagram Stories a video from Instagram user @createwithelyse, stating that “karma is real” and people’s harsh treatment toward other people will “come back” to them.
To recall, John said in a statement that he and Priscilla “have mutually agreed to take a break”, but John’s statement was denied by Priscilla shortly after. Although the two have since remained mum on the status of their marriage, they were seen at a F1 Grand Prix work event in September 2024.
