It appears that Sen. Raffy Tulfo had a ‘change of heart’ regarding the arrest of teenage star Awra Briguela.
On the July 3 episode of his YouTube show ‘Raffy Tulfo in Action,’ Tulfo had the opportunity to talk to the management of Bolt Hole Bar about the brawl.
The manager, who was referred to as ‘Lei’ during the interview, explained that Awra and the complainant Mark Ravana were having a great time before the conflict started.
He said that Awra’s party consisted of 25 people while Mark’s was only 4 and that the two groups were both having fun.
Lei then revealed that they never saw any of Mark’s friends harassing any of Awra’s friends.
“Tinatawagan po namin yung kampo ni Awra pero di namin sila napapayag na mag pa interview,” said Tulfo as he thanked the management for shedding light on the incident.
After Lei, Onin, a bouncer at the club, shared what he saw.
Accoridng to Onin, Awra pushed Mark because he wasn’t happy that the latter refused to remove his clothes all the way.
Mark was then asked by another bouncer to put his shirt back on. As Mark and his friends made their way downstairs, a visibly angry Awra blocked the exit.
Onin added that he was getting hit as he attempted to separate the two parties.
“Hinabol niya si Mark hanggang sinungaban niya ng suntok sa labas,” Onin revealed.
“Kinuyog nila si Mark.”
Tulfo then praised the management for speaking the truth.
It can be remembered that Tulfo admonished Makati City Police Station chief P/Col. Edward Cutiyog for saying that gay people could not help but crave nudity after asking why the celebrity was uncontrollable that day.
“E alam mo naman, si Awra is gay. Gusto niyang makita ‘yung magandang katawan,” said Cutiyog.
“Ay hindi , sir. Mali ka dyan, sir. Huwag, sir. Huwag ganoon. Palibhasa gay, gusto makita agad ang katawan ng isang lalaki?” Tulfo responded.
According to Cutiyog, the Makati Regional Court issued a directive on Saturday evening for Awra to be freed from police custody. This decision came after Awra paid bail amounting to ₱6,000.
