On his Instagram Story, the actor explained that he didn’t intend to offend anyone by chewing gum during an appearance on “It’s Showtime,” saying it was his way of dealing with being nervous on stage.

“Pag nguya ng gum sa premier at tv. Opo ako nga po ito. Kalma lang po kayo, wala naman akong gustong bastusin or tapakan na moral dito. Sakin lang ay bago pa po sakin ang pakiramdam ng lahat ‘di ko alam paano i handle ang emosyon at lahat ng pangyayare. Idinaan ko nalang sa pag che-chewing gum,” he remarked. 

The “Dead Kids” actor promised to no longer do it again, as he stressed that it became his “unwarranted coping mechanism.”

“Pero ‘wag kayo mag aalala humihingi ako ng pasensya sa lahat at hindi na mauulit. Naging coping mechanism ko siya which is not good. Hindi ko siya ginagawa para magmukhang gwapo or pagpapagwapo sadyang doon ko binubuhos ang panginginig ng katawan ko dahil sa dala ng nerbiyos,” he explained. 

Miranda underscored that he would take the netizens’ criticism as an impetus to improve himself. 

“Hirap ako i manage ang nararamdaman ko nong mga oras na yun. Again pasensya na sa lahat ng nakapuna. Salamat sa pag puna nito gawin kong aral at hindi na masundan pa ng ibang pagkakataon,” concluded the actor.

Some of the remarks thrown against him were that he was acting “pa-cool,” or that he might be dealing with bad breath.
