Azkals players Angel Guirado (left) and Lexton Moy (right) resorted to Twitter to air their side about Cristy Ramos's sexual harassment complaint against them.

Angel Guirado's Twitter post regarding the sexual harassment complaint against him and fellow Azkals Lexton Moy: “Thank you. It is very hard to perceive what people can do to get some attention. First, I was in short pants, and that being in my underwear is normal in the locker room changing for the game. What it needs, is to ask for permission before entering. And if you enter, be prepared for the consequences.”

 

“But if they tell me that this is sexual harassment, these are strong words and the press should ask me first before making public anything. I think it is not just. They are playing with a life of a person. I expect them to rectify these news. Hugs to all.”

Ngayong hapon, March 8, naman ay muling nag-post si Angel sa Twitter at ito ang kanyang sinabi sa salitang Spanish:

"MUCHÍSIMAS GRACIAS de corazón habéis conseguido que me emocione de verdad ya de por si mi vida en Filipinas no es nada fácil pero uno tiene que buscarse la vida como sea y donde sea y mas ahora, el Futbol siempre a sido mi pasión, mi vida y mi sueño,mientras pueda seguiré jugando y luchando por ello y nada ni nadie me lo va a impedir nunca falte el respeto a nadie y menos a una mujer y mucho menos en publico la vida de un futbolista no es nada fácil y mas si llevas rondando toda tu vida de un sitio a otro solo espero que al igual que han publicado en mayúsculas esas palabras tan fuertes y tan inciertas hagan lo mismo poniendo la pura verdad y la realidad de todo esto un fuerte abrazo para todos."

Sa wikang Ingles ay ito ang ibig niyang sabihin:

"A heartfelt thank you. I am really touched. My life in the Philippines has not been easy but one has to find life however and wherever it may be. Now more than ever, football has always been my passion, life, and dream. While I am able to continue playing and fighting for it, and neither anyone nor anything is going to impede me. I did not disrespect anyone and more importantly not a woman."

"The public life of a football player is never easy and is even less easy when you go around all your life from one place to another. It is the same as when they have published in capital letters (headlines) those words, so strongly yet so wrongly. May they do the same with the pure truth and the reality of all these. A firm embrace to all."

Maikli lang naman ang naging pahayag ni Moy sa kanyang tweet noong March 3:

"It deeply saddens me to hear about the very serious allegation. This sensitive situation will be addressed professionally and respectfully."

NO HARM INTENDED. Maging ang mga kasamahan nina Guirado at Moy sa Philippine National Football Team o Azkals ay nagbigay rin ng kanilang reaksiyon tungkol sa kinasasangkutang kontrobersiya ng dalawa.

Dinipensahan ng Azkals team captain na si Ali Borromeo ang kanyang mga kasamahan sa panayam nito kay Dyan Castillejo ng ABS-CBN News.

Bagamat wala siya sa locker room nang maganap ang insidente, sinabi ni Borromeo na wala raw anumang intensiyon ang kahit sino sa kanila na bastusin si Ramos.

"Being part of the team and being the captain of the Azkals, we don't condone sexual harassment at all," pahayag niya.

"Like I said, with Alex's words and Angel's, who can't speak a word of English, there was no harm intended to Cristy Ramos."

Giit pa ni Ali, sa walong taon niya bilang team captain ay hindi pa sila nagkaroon ng problema noon sa match commissioner.

Idinetalye rin niya ang kadalasang nangyayari sa tuwing naroon sa locker room ang match commissioner.

Kuwento niya, "Any match commissioner calls each player, the player goes up to her with an ID, and usually holding the jersey as well, and presents what we have to present.

    this is not surprising behaviour from athletes - malaki kasi masyado ang ulo nila. they think they can get away with anything. well, you offended the wrong girl - someone with clout. way to go girl - i agree for filing a complaint dahil kung ordinaryong babae lang ito, pagtatawanan lang.

    what do you think happens in the men's locker room. bible study? this is a place where boys are boys. 99 percent of the time, you will see boys who are half naked or naked, it's a changing room. they will talk about girls, sex, sports and everything under the sun. clearly, this is not a job for her.

    Mukhang OA nga ang reaction ni Madam Cristy Ramos, Sa mga players kase talagang normal lang na minsan maabutan mo na naka underware lang ang iba kase nagbibihis, eh karamihan ng players ng Azkals eh hindi pa purong pinoy yan kaya normal sa kanila ang humarap sa ibang tao na ganun kase hindi sila malisyoso, di tulad ng purong pinoy na talagang mahiyain lalo na kung babae ang kaharap. Siguro mag apologize na lang ang azkals kung na offend si Ms. Cristy, Pero yong sexual harrassment case mukhang malabo yon, may edad na si madam para isipin nya na sya ang pinag uusapan, next time magtanong muna kung sya ang pinag uusapan o hindi kase nakakahiya din mag assume.

    reading some of the comments here only shows that you guys don't know what's going on. Of course Ms. Ramos will have to file a case against them before they get disciplinary punishment. Ms. Ramos knows the laws in the workplace. Dapat may naviolate silang law bago humingi ng disciplinary punishment si Mr. Ramos. Crying i felt disrespected and i don't like how they said, i only have cup b breasts, is not enough! Don't you guys get a briefing kapag bagong pasok kayo sa work? or may mga trabaho ba kayo? hehehe Sa dinami dami ng mga naiinternet dyan sa Pilipinas, there are still a lot of people clueless about social issues, laws and your rights in the workplace.

    If Ramos felt she was disrespected she should not file for sexual harassment but for disciplinary action on whoever disrepected her.I do not think any of the guys are interested in her sexually. She is the commissioner for heaven sake. She has the power over the guys.

    61 Fanneatic, I agree with you, porket tisoy /pero teka... tignan mo naman ang 2 ito, gwapo ba yan?? ugh!/ eh yung babaeng nag cocomplain pa ang sinisisi. anu naman mahihita ni Miss Ramos sa mga Azkals? di naman sya cougar! isa pa, isang isuue lang ang kaya nilang depensahan? kmusta naman ang cup of coffee? este cup B? at nag apologize sila kay Miss Ramos the day after nyang magsalita about this thinking they can do some damage control kasi feelig nila sikat sila and they can get away from what they've done. so pag nag sorry ka, ibig sabihin may kabalbalan kang ginawa, kung wala silang ginawa, sa yayabang ng mga yan, magsosorry ba yan?? fan ako ng mga Azkals nun, pero nawala na dahil puro nalang issues at wala namang nai uuwing karangalan, puro papogi at porma lang.

    hehehehe...paki basa ang affidavit ni Miss Ramos, she was not alone when she came inside the "locker room" she was with some companion and when they knocked, the arrogant team said they aren't ready yet, so the commissioner and her group waited, when the Azkals said she may come in that's the only time she did enter the room. The group is leaded by Miss Ramos that's why she's the one who's responsible in doing the inspection. again, she knocked first and waited, so if you let someone enter your "locker room" especially you know that professionalism should be there, will you show yourself in briefs? with you even face your dad or mom or sister in briefs at that age?

    manangndi, binasa mo ba comment ko, kaya nga sinabi ko, Im not denying her of her right to feel harassed....ikaw nga ang comment ng comment dyan ng di nagbabasa....let her file if she wants to.....kaya sabi ko, follow the correct protocol, para di mabastos ang isang commissioner.....where is her witness or companion when she inspected?, Wala naman syang sinabing kasama nung nangyari yung incident nung mga nauna nyang interview.....syempre the accuser must prove her allegation first, hindi yung naniniwala ka kagad sa nambibintang....andali kasing ma feel na offend ka, pero kung protocol was executed well, walang ganyan.......

    angel25, ki babae o lalaki pa yan, if they felt harrassed, they felt harrassed! simple and your argument that dapat lalaki ang nagcheck, why? she has been doing that job for a long time, ngayon lang sya naka experience ng ganyan. Bakit kapag nasa locker room ba lagi dapat naka hubad? they were notified that they are going to check them, naghintay pa nga si Ms. Ramos and her companion sa labas ng locker room before they came in. Basahin kasi yong affidavit ni Ms. Ramos hindi yong, comment ng comment. Bottomline is, they did what they were accused of and they need to answer the allegations like a man, not whine in twitter and make excuses!

    Had a classmate before, we were 16 yrs old that time, our teacher got her hand and put it under his jeans, not knowing she's holding his p.... na pla yun.still the instinct was there daw so when she grabbed her hand back, our commandant knew that she will do that so he pressed his hand to her hand para mapress pa rin and kanyang p.... , when she tried to make a noise that's when the teacher of CAT let go of her hand. she never said it to her parents as she came from a broken family, afraid that the school won't believe her, and her parents will accuse her of making a story and be bullied by her classmates and batchmates, she kept it to herself until after 15 years, we got in touch thru fb and I'm the first one whom she revealed of what she had experienced.The latest news about our commandant? he was fired from the university bcoz a student, a brave student filed a sexual harassment case against him.my former classmate felt relieved, she wasn't able to speak up that time but there was someone who was brav

    kaya nakakatakot mag sampa ng sexual harassment kasi ikaw pa ang babaligtarin, sasabihan na nagpapapansin or you're trying to bring the person down.

    and baliktarin natin, what if women ang atheltes at lalaki ang commissioner, at pumasok yung lalaking commissioner sa locker ng mga babae na nagbibihis ang mga babae, dapat palang mag cry ng sexual harassment yung lalaking commissioner dahil pumasok sya sa locker room na may mga nagbibhis na babae.....its that simple.

    checking of the players before a game inside the locker room?.... ano bang dapat i check sa loob ng locker room before the game, anong aabutan nya, eh di mga players na nagbibihis..... gosh. not rocket science....kung ganun pala function ng commissioner, dapat lalaki ang italaga sa position na yun, dahil lagi na lang magkakaproblema ng harassment.........Im not saying wala syang k, or just shrug it off na lang kung feeling nya na harass sya.....pero it was trouble waiting to happen na kung babae palaang commissioner at role nya is to check men inside their lockers, palitan na lang sya....dahil laging magiging ganyan ang scenario dyan.....

    SOP ang pag check ng commissioner before the game. walang iba. isa lang ang commissioner ng match na yon. alam nilang babae ang commissioner. expected nila yan dahil matagal na sila naglalaro. alam nila protocol. bastos lang talaga sila. sinasamba kasi ng mala landing pinay kaya nilalahat nila. akala lahat matutuwa sa kanila.

    Ano bang alam natin sa nangyari? Wala dava. Ano bang nagawa ngmga azkals pra sa bansa? Meron ba? Halos lahat ng laban nila eh pulos nmn cla talunan. Anong kapuri puri dun. Dahil sikat cla? Eh media hype lang nmn ang kasikatan nila. Hupa na ang kasikatan nila. Kcwala nmn clang nagagawang maganda sa bansa sa totoo lang. Dahil mga good looking guys cla. Maaring some of them eh may mga itsura but most of them are just plain looking guys. Cgro nga kala ng mga azkals porke sikat cla at maraming fans, uti lang sa fans kung may gawin clang hindi kanais nais. For one, wala na ang kasikatan nila. Secondly, anong dapat ipgkapuri sa kanila eh palagi clang talunan. Di dapat clamaging Phil. Team kc pulos mga half breed cla. Yang guirado na yan mukhang kahit isang patak walang dugong pinoy. To all azkal fans, be sensible nmn. Im very sure hindi magsasalita ng ganun ang isang Cristy Ramos kung hindi nya mismo naexperience.
