"I don't know if public apology is the right word. I am saddened, I am disappointed, I'm overwhelmed, but I think the one who should do public apology are these people who jumped on the wagon and said I insulted them," she said.
What she's sorry for, Diaz said, was that she was "misunderstood."
"Well, if it's going to settle everything, yes. Okay, Im sorry that they misunderstood me, they did not realize na may kadugtong. I also mentioned the Ilocanos, the Kapampangans, the Chabacanos. I mean, are they all gonna commit me to persona non grata status? Well, what could I do?" she said.
Diaz said she has no plans of filing a lawsuit against Rep. del Mar, or against the Vice Mayors League of the Philippines-Cebu.
"No! There is no point. I don't even know who to demanda," she said. "I am not angry at anybody. I'm just surprised that they should judge me. It's very easy I think, to ask Channel 2 for the entire thing for them to really find out, 'How dare she say those things?' I mean, if I really dared."
Diaz added, "I don't know her [Rep. del Mar]. So I really don't know if I can talk to her. But you know how it is, everybody takes their time out to get their five seconds of, uh, you know, national coverage. No, I don't know her. I'm just getting feedback from my relatives, my daughters, everything. Okay lang.
"Now, I said my piece, will they take it? Will they realize that we've both made a mistake?"
Diaz said she thinks Cebuanos should ask ABS-CBN to give them a copy of her full interview with Mario Dumaual.
"I think Channel 2 could show it to them, but I won't go to Channel 2. I'm not important enough to ask Channel 2 to give me the footage," she said.
"ABS-CBN has been very nice, and they did not realize that it would be taken in that light. That's terrible," Diaz added. "In fact, they never showed it again. They never even brought it out, because they were like surprised. I think they're just as surprised as I am. So, it is a misunderstanding that I hope will be settled soon."
Asked if she expects Cebu to withdraw the "persona non grata" status, Diaz answered, "I think so. If they're smart, and if they understood... I don't know how to say it in Cebuano, but I think so."
She also hopes that Cebuanos "will take what I said without malice, and forgive me for not having it explained earlier. Of course it boggles me, but it's not the end of my life."

Kindly note, we agreed with Gloria Diaz that Pinay Beauties should use Interpreter nowadays but it is NOT ACCEPTABLE TO US regarding hitting and not respecting Cebuanos or Visayan people speaking that they can not....You should not underestimate your kapwa Pinays...Damn you Gloria why you became a Pinays Miss Universe out of nothing that you create discriminatory and divisive remarks...Now you changed again your statement ano naman kaya sa susunod..you hurt us already even my kids understand what you did.
We are proud as a Cebuano and Visayan people wherever we are that's why we are vigilant and merely voicing out our opinion and speaking from heart as fellow nativeas what our proud Congresswoman C. Del Mar did.masama ba yan..So be it if you dont.As of now Persona non grata well do for her...Let somebody mga lider nato do something at Sana makarma din siya someday...See, kita mo si Jinggoy he mocked ato
Since she didn't have the slightest humility of asking a sincere apology then she deserves to be called a quot;persona non grataquot;.
And you dunnzzer.. do you think that you really know everything??? If that is the case then I guess, you have all the right to judge or say whoever is knowledgeable or not. However, if you admit that you do not know everything then I suggest that you better keep your mouth shut, as you do not have the SINGLE RIGHT to comment.
How dare you belittle the Cebuanos? You, for sure, is not perfect. You also have flaws.
P.S please note that Filipino is the national language and this is not the same as Tagalog. Please be informed that Filipino is the combination of all the languages in the country and not just Tagalog.
quot;“Kasi when you think about a Cebuana, they can hardly speak English and of course Tagalog. Maybe she should answer in Bisaya.”
Take note, she said quot;kasi when you think about a Cebuana...quot; so what about a Cebuana?
This statement alone is very discriminating. It is very different when you say everyone is entitled to speak his/her own language when answering questions like in a beauty contest. But this was not the case.
If Gloria

Messenger ka ba ng Census office at alam na alam mo? If i know, you've looked down the kapampangans, bikolanos and ilocanos as well kasi nga feeling nyo nasa City kayo, City nga pero squatters naman.. HA HA HA. And tell me about Cebuanos being baduy, did you know that Michelle Lhuiller who hails from Cebu is one of the most sought after designer in Hollywood? I'm sure di ka nagbabasa kay di mo sya kilala.. And one more thing, dito sa Canada ang matitigas ang dila ang mga Tagalog, they can't even speak straight English not to mention the funny accent.. and Lastly huwag mong babaliktarin.. dyan lang kayo magaling..
pepboy okay ka lang? Bat sure na sure ka na kadamihan ng squatter dyan ay TRUE Cebuanos? Did you conduct Census lately? LOLS! If so, give us a proof! Kung wala kang maibigay, manahimik ka nalang kasi napapahiya ka lang sa mga comment mo. Pity you!
To all Cebuanos! HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH! Nyt!
bsta eto lng masasabi ko, halos kramihan ng mga nsa luzon, inis s mga bisakol...and hindi lng mga tagalog, mga kapampangan, bikolano, ilocano etc...pag sinabi mo ksing bisakol, baduy pumorma, matigas ang dila, bakya,etc...
pareho kayong dalawa ni gloring diaz, magaling mag deny, aminin na estudyanteng tagalog ang mga poser sa hostaged bus..
..here in toronto, the tagalogs are the most annoying people inside the public transit..they're so insensitive to the fellow passengers who are just quietly sitting or reading.these tagalogs are so loud talking w/ each other or on the phone. ang papangit na, ang iingay pa.
sinimulan mo flip, tapusin na natin

Ignorante.. am not a Cebuano but studied in Cebu... i know how down to earth Cebuanos are... they never start a fight but try starting one and they will fight with you till the end.. one thing wrong with the Tagalogs though, they always think high and mighty.. pati na yung mga promdi dyan kung mag-aasta parang mga city girls/boys.. eh galing din naman pala sa bundok .. I'm sure, galing ka sa squatters at area one day one eat ka, kasi based on survey, kayo ang pinakadaming squatters dyan..at pustiso ang ipin mo kasi nga puro chlorine nilagay sa tubig nyo kasi sobrang polluted ang lugar nyo.... kaya huwag kang magmagaling.. and one more thing.. you always think you speak better English than the Visayans, to hell with you.. I'm sure karamihan sa mga katulad mo pareho mag-English ni Janina San Miguel.. tough ten.. ayyy hahahaha!!!
