San Vicente’s mother lamented the viral incident that ‘destroyed’ her son’s life.
“Aksidente lang talaga ito. Maayos ang anak ko. Sino bang may gustong takbuhan ‘yon?,” she said.
“Hindi kami makatulog, hindi kami makakain. Syempre anak namin ang involved. Tsaka viral na eh. Mabait ang anak ko. Nagtatrabaho siya, he is a very responsible man,” she added.
