'Apology accepted'
Pinatawad ng social media personality na si Cat Arambulo-Antonio ang isang netizen na may negatibong tweet tungkol sa kaniya. Kaugnay ito sa isyu noon na hindi siya nagpakita sa umano'y inorganisa niyang meet-up para sa mga supporters ng isang presidential candidate.
Nauna na rin niyang pinabulaanan ang isyu sa isang tweet noong Abril 28, 2022. Aniya, inimbitahan lamang siya ng isang BBM supporter at tinanong kung maaari niyang i-share ang poster para i-promote.
"Today's meet was initiated by a BBM supporter, I was just invited and asked if I could help share the poster to promote. I didn't think it would turn out to look like it's an event much less my event since I just came out of surgery last night," aniya.

"And as far as I know, it was supposed to be a day that the BBM supporters would eat, shop and just wear red to meet other fellow supporters," dagdag pa niya.
Umani ng iba't ibang reaksyon mula sa mga netizens ang nasabing isyu at isa na rito ang netizen na si Martin Cervantes. Deleted na ang mga tweet niya ngunit ito ay nakuha pa ng legal team ni Arambulo-Antonio.
Noong Mayo 30, 2022, nagpadala ng demand letter ang legal team ng social media personality kay Cervantes. Makikita sa demand letter ang mga screenshot ng mga tweet ni Cervantes laban kay Arambulo-Antonio.
Sa isang tweet nitong Biyernes, Hunyo 17, humingi ng tawad si Cervantes tungkol sa kaniyang tweet noong Abril 28.
"It can be recalled that election campaigns were in full swing and emotions were high during those times. What I thought was a mere teaser turned out to have a negative impact on someone.
"This is not about me anymore, this is about Cat, who beyond her tweets and IGs is a person. a daughter, a wife, a mother, a friend. Who, just like every Filipino, wants what's best for our country. I have learned to be more mindful of my actions and of other people's feelings.
"Again, my apologies. I am offering peace to Cat and I offer my harmonious co-existence, after all, we have only one Philippines to share. Let's make it work, let's make it better."
Agad namang pinatawad ng social media personality ang netizen.
"Apology accepted. To add context to Martin’s public apology, this is the demand letter that my legal team sent to protect my rights, privacy, safety on and offline," sabi ni Arambulo-Antonio Sa isang Facebook post nitong Sabado, Hunyo 18.
"Martin & I have resolved our issues, we have become better, more forgiving humans from the experience. One lesson out of this is co-existing peacefully despite our differences. I have high hopes that I may have gained a new friend here," dagdag pa niya.
