Gonzaga's team clarifies waiter is a family friend

Alex Gonzaga's team released a statement in response to the viral video showing Alex smearing icing over the face of a waiter. Alex's publicist and entertainment reporter, Peter Ledesma, stated that the waiter is a friend of the Gonzaga sister's mom. "This Allan, one of the waiters of Florabel Resto and Catering Service in Valle Verde Pasig, is a friend of Mommy Pinty Gonzaga and Soriano Family. Kaya majority of the event of Gonzaga and Soriano Family ay sila ang kinukuha ni Mommy Pinty na mag-cater ng food and beverages," he said. "At itong si Allan ay laging kabiruan na Mommy Pinty and Alex at ito ang parating nagse-serve sa kanila. Kaya tuwing nagkikita ay binabati agad ni Allan ang mag-mommy, magiliw ito sa kanila," he added. Ledesma also clarified that Alex would only do the same if she were acquainted with the waiter. "Hindi naman magagawa ni Alex ang magbiro at magpunas ng cake, kung hindi sila magkakilala ng said waiter, na sanay na sa pagiging mapagbiro at kikay ni Alex," he said. "This is the side of Mommy Pinty na higit na nakakaalam ng istorya ng anak. And one more thing ay hindi totoong lasing si Alex na tulad ng pinalalabas ng kanyang detractors and bashers," he added. Netizens have criticized Alex Gonzaga after the now-deleted Instagram video of her putting the icing on a waiter's forehead during her birthday celebration went viral on social media.
