Robi Domingo posts message for Russu Laurente’s family after eviction night

Russu Laurente’s brother apologizes to Robi Domingo and the Kapamilyas after his brother’s admission that he said yes to ABS-CBN shutdown.

Following the eviction of Russu Laurente from Pinoy Big Brother: Connect, Robi Domingo posted a message for the ex-housemate’s family.

In the Sunday, January 3, episode of PBB: Connect, Russu's brother Criztian Pitt Laurente apologized to Robi and to all the Kapamilyas for Russu's support of the shutdown of ABS-CBN last year.

"I just want to give my utmost respect to Russu's family, most especially his kuya, whom I got to talk to," Robi posted on Twitter after the eviction night.

The television host added, "We have to admit that something is wrong with the system... but it also gives us that opportunity to learn from each other and grow."

Robi remarked that he still remains hopeful about humanity.

"Remember, there is always hope in humanity," he remarked.

"Marami po nagsasabi sa akin [na], 'Di ba nong panahon is halos sumang-ayon ka o sumama ka sa mga nagpapasasara? Bakit ngayon nag-audition ka sa Big Brother?’ Sinabi ko po talaga nang harap-harapan sa kanila na 'yung mga panahon na iyon ay hindi ko pa na-realize or nalaman 'yung totoong sitwasyon. Kumbaga hindi ko pa nalagay 'yung sarili ko sa sitwasyon ng mga taong iyon," Russu said.

He continued, "Alam ko po kuya na nasaktan po kayo na minsan po isa rin ako sa mga sumang-ayon sa pagpapasara ng iyong tahanan nong mga panahong hindi ko pa alam 'yung mga nangyayari, 'yung mga totoong nangyayari po sa mga nakikita ko po kuya. I'm sorry po kuya kung nasaktan ko po kayo at 'yung pamilya po ng ABS-CBN."
