“He said, she said.” Ito ngayon ang status na umiikot sa social networking sites na mula sa palitan ng pahayag sa pagitan ng kampo ni Gov. Salceda at sa kampo naman ni Xian Lim.
Diumano ay sinabi ni Xian Lim na, “I am not here to promote Albay.”
Ang tugon ni Xian dito sa kanyang post ay, “….something I never said or would ever say.”
Sa issue naman ng pagpapasuot sa kanya ng tshirt na diumano ay sinasabi ng kampo ni Gov. Salceda na, “Ayaw daw nya,” ang tugon naman ni Xian ay, “Sorry po, hindi ko maisuot yung tshirt kasi baka magka conflict sa clothing endorsement ko. Pasensya na po”.
As of press time, ito naman ang naging paglilinaw ni Gov. Salceda sa mga naging pahayag ni Xian Lim na umani ng iba’t-ibang reaksyon mula sa netizens:
“Ordinary staff ng PTCAO ang ininsulto at hiniya ni Xian Lim. Together with ordinary Albayanos, they are the ones who work hard, silently and patiently for Albay tourism. And based on the prevarications on his posts, he is not getting it. 1. Hindi namin pinapasuot ang Tshirt sa guests. Binibigay lang 2. The mere fact that coffee book table is called Warm Albay and the tshirt is Warm Albay should already be obvious that these are typical touristic materials. the PTCAO incident morally approximates the cruelty and brutality in Maguindanao, and what’s worse we did not pay the MILF P350,000 to do it and we expected something better from him since he is not a terrorist, instead an artist. No forgiveness deserved.”
