"Yeah, I can. For me kasi, personally OK lang naman but he has to apologize. I think people will understand," Sotto said. "Alam mo naman mapagpatawad ang Filipino," adds Sotto who stressed that it was management's decision to let Bayola take a break for a while. "I have nothing to do with that. I think it's management's decision," added Sotto who is now promoting his film "My Little Bossings" with Aquino and James Yap Jr. or Bimby. Jose says 'sorry' In the interview, Bayola's partner Jose Manalo also spoke up on the said issue. Manalo said he recently had a show with Bayola, who thanked him for giving him a chance to return to show business. "Oo nakapag-show kami ni Wally sa Olongapo, kasi yung contract niya kay Ma'am Malou Ochoa-Fagar, kailangan umattend siya doon," Manalo said. "Binigyan kami ng award doon kasi parang fundraising 'yung show. So, binigyan kami ng award tapos bigla si Wally nagsalita na 'maraming salamat sa muling pagtanggap sa amin.' So nung sinabi yon sinapo ko na siya ako na yung nagsalita ng nagsalita sa kanya, humingi ng sorry sa tao na hindi naman kasalanan, tao lang. Maganda yung show, nagtayuan ang mga tao nagpalakpakan. Sinisigaw ng mga tao na love nila kaming dalawa, love nila si Wally, ganoon yung nangyari. Tapos after noon ay hindi na muna siya mag-show, pahinga muna siya," Manalo said. Last October, Bayola has brought the case of his alleged "sex scandal" to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI).
