“I apologize to the public, (Commission on Human Rights) Chairperson Etta Rosales, and especially to the youth. ‘Di ‘ata tama kung magiging leader sila in the future, tapos sasabihin nila, ‘Bakit si Mayor Bistek, no’ng leader siya, ginagawa niya ’to?’ (It is not right that when they [youths] become leaders in the future they will say, ‘Why was Mayor Bistek able to do this when he was still a leader?’),” Bautista said.

“By nature, kasi hindi ako nananakit ng tao. Physically, hindi ako nananakit,” Bautista added when asked to react to Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte’s comment that he was actually too kind to the arrested Chinese national.

In her own public statement late June, Aquino recounted her happy memories with Bautista, but said that “true love graciously lets go.” She also said that she hoped she and Bautista could be friends.

During Monday’s interview, the presidential sister repeatedly said that she and the Quezon City Mayor were now mere friends.
