"I also want to underscore that the management always had the back of their personnel with constant communication with me on behalf of their employees, who are all treated as family, as I know personally from their history. To quote the supervisor, they served me as best they could even if it was most difficult for them to do so."
"I would like also to reiterate that I did not demand that the waiter stand for the whole length of time, as I was explaining my side of the gender sensitivity issue, it was he who chose to stand in front of me as we waited for input from management, who I attempted to contact," aniya.
Matatandaang umani ng batikos si Bacalso mula sa netizens at celebrities matapos mag-viral ang post ng concern netizen na si "John Calderon" patungkol sa nangyari.
