ACC.OUNTABILITY
ALEEYAH CASSANDRA C. COLINARES
We genuinely do not care anymore about the apology to your friends when the main issue here is the fact that you STOLE. That is the core of this entire situation. Stop centering your statement around repairing personal friendships while completely downplaying the actual harm you caused to people in the community especially Nanay Rose, who did not deserve any of this.
What people are asking from you is simple: OWN UP TO THE THEFT. Call it what it is. Stop hiding behind vague wording, selective apologies, and carefully crafted damage control statements that avoid direct accountability. Ateneans are not stupid. People can clearly see when someone is trying to soften the issue instead of addressing it head-on.
You were given leadership, trust, and responsibility, and instead of honoring that, you abused that trust. The least you can do now is be fully honest and accountable about what you did instead of trying to minimize it into some “misunderstanding” or personal conflict. This is beyond friendship issues already this is about integrity, accountability, and the kind of character you showed when no one was looking.
If your apology cannot even directly acknowledge the theft and the people you harmed because of it, then it does not feel sincere at all. People are tired of the excuses, the omissions, and the obvious attempts to control the narrative. Own what you did fully and directly. That is the bare minimum.
