Cebuano Personality Jude Bacalso Apologizes for Restaurant Incident: 'I Could Have Done with a Little Measure of Kindness'

Cebuano personality Jude Bacalso has issued a public apology following an incident that occurred in a restaurant in Cebu City on Sunday, July 21, 2024. In a statement posted on Facebook, Bacalso detailed her efforts to resolve the issue with the restaurant management, despite the absence of the waiter involved.

Bacalso expressed her regret and acknowledged her shortcomings in handling the situation. "I also realized that in the impassioned pursuit of my advocacy, I could have done with a little measure of kindness, sadly quite absent in the ruckus this has all unnecessarily created when it was made public without our knowledge. I made a personal apology to the group present and requested if I may do so for the concerned waiter. I am also making it very public with this post, as it has become quite public fodder," she wrote.

In her statement, Bacalso extended her apologies not only to the staff and management of the restaurant but also to the customers who were present during the incident. "My apologies also to the rest of the staff who are disheartened by the way things have escalated, as well as to the customers present at that time. This is a huge chunk of humble pie that I must ingest because I have erred. May we start here with, as the supervisor pointed out, an uphill path to reconciliation and we hope you will be able to allow us and yourselves to do so unhampered so we may all learn and heal from this," Bacalso added.
