The statement of the “Maria Clara at Ibarra” actor received numerous reactions from the netizens, with some offering their understanding and defending Licauco, while others argued that he could have handled the situation better.

“Sorry David pero sa totoo lang you could turn them down in a much nicer way, you could always say pasensya na bawi ako next time masama pakiramdam ko. Pero kitang kita kasi na your annoyed and irritated ka.” remarked one X user.

(Sorry David, but honestly you could turn them down in a much nicer way, you could always say, ‘I’m sorry, I’ll make it up to you next time because I don’t feel well.’ But it was evident that you were annoyed and irritated.)

“Ang mahalaga, nagexplain naman at nag sorry si David, which means he owned and take responsibility for what happened. Pero tandaan din natin as fans, na ilagay naman kasi yung pagpapicture. Lets still be responsible fans.” said another fan.

(The important thing is that David explained and apologized, which means he owned up and took responsibility for what happened. But let’s also remember, as fans, to ask for a picture only at appropriate times. Let’s still be responsible fans.)

Pero tandaan din natin as fans, na ilagay naman kasi yung pagpapicture. Lets still be responsible fans.

Meanwhile, Licauco recently shared that he is slated to undergo surgery this month for his sleep apnea.

“I just can’t wait for that day na mas maging OK ako dahil it’s affecting my daily life, my mental health, so I want to do it. I just want that to be over … to live my best life,” he said in an interview on “24 Oras.”
