Mo Twister apologizes to Rhian, GMA-7 over leaked video
MANILA, Philippines – Radio DJ Mo Twister (Mohan Gumatay in real life) on Sunday apologized to ex-girlfriend Rhian Ramos and her home network GMA-7, following his video diary that leaked online.
In a statement aired over "Showbiz Rampa" on 103.5 WOW FM, Gumatay told Ramos he is sorry "that our rollercoaster relationship ended the way it did."
"There was much more going on than people know. But I love you. I always have," he said.
Gumatay also gave this message to GMA-7: "I would like to apologize to the network for putting them in a bad light. This decision to have an abortion was not something the network instructed us to do... I understand that and I am sorry if the words on my 'video diary' depicted otherwise."
A report from ABS-CBN’s “E-Live” on Saturday said that GMA-7 is set to file appropriate charges against Gumatay "for malicious and false imputations against the network."
A leaked video diary that went viral last week showed Gumatay in tears, saying that he and Ramos will "get rid of of our baby" due to pressure from her family and GMA-7.
Not mad at Rhian
Gumatay said he is "in disarray," "ashamed" and "disappointed" because of "the loss of our child."
"It was something I never wanted to happen. It went against my every value and until this very day, it makes me break down in tears, something I have never moved on from. I don't think any parent can," he said.
"Of course it was done with utmost regret and I still wonder if I did all that I can to prevent it from happening. I thought I did, but I ultimately sided with the decision of my girlfriend, because I was put against a wall, to a point where I had to choose between the safety of the person that I love and the life of our child," he added.
Gumatay made it clear, however, that he is not mad at Ramos.
"I do not blame Rhian for our actions even though it was no one else's choice. The pressure on her was too great.
"Am I upset at her? No. However, I do feel sad about the opinions of the people who are closest to her. You see, I am pro-life. I know we all have a different stance about this sensitive topic, but I am and have always been such."
Gumatay added that he still loves Ramos "very much."
"We had to lie to the public about our ongoing relationship and I understood why. I would never want to hurt her and I tried my best to protect her when rumors of past abortions would surface. I aggressively pursued bloggers and other people who had info of past incidents and told them to be quiet," he said.
Rhian's camp erased his video?
Gumatay said he made the video "as a memento of this tragic event," adding that Ramos knew all about it.
"Rhian knew about all of this. To a point where months ago, when they thought a lawyer was needed to aid in our breakup, that I was asked to surrender all of this 'proof' to them for it to be destroyed," he said.
"I naturally gave in to their request, because for the second time, I chose my girlfriend over the memory of our child. I specifically asked them to not destroy it, to please return it to me 50 years from now, when all this showbiz priorities and 'branding' wouldn't mean so much anymore."
The radio DJ said, however, that Ramos' camp erased the video.
"Along with my files, they took my computer and erased it in front of me. This was all documented by her legal staff," he said.
"I know that the copies in my laptop were not the only ones destroyed. In a brown envelope, I handed these files to the family and begged them to salvage them. My laptop may have been compromised. I really don't know.
"There will be rumors for a long time, I am aware of that. But it will not hurt as much as the memory of what truly happened -- we lost our child and I have not moved on from it."
A promise made
After apologizing to Ramos and to GMA-7, Gumatay said he does not have a message for the general public.
But he did make a promise.
"I will never, ever agree to take the life of a child again. It doesn't matter if it isn't my body or my choice. I will not be put against the wall again. I should have stood my ground, fought harder, delayed it longer, encouraged more people to talk her out of it," he said.
"I regret it there. I regret it all," he added.
Rhian's camp seeks protection
Meanwhile, Ramos' camp is set to file for a temporary protection order in Muntinlupa City on Monday.
In an interview on Philippine Daily Inquirer, Lorna Kapunan, who acts as Ramos' counsel, said Gumatay violated Republic Act 9262 or the Anti-Violence Against Women and Children Act.
Kapunan claimed that Gumatay made threats against Ramos through e-mail and social networking sites.
"Even if made on social networking sites, these acts (threats) constitute psychological and emotional violence," Kapunan was quoted as saying.
"He's 34; she's 21. He was manipulative," she added.
Mo seeking professional help
Meanwhile, radio DJ Mojo Javier (or Mojo Jojo) told "The Buzz" on Sunday that Gumatay has been seeking professional help because of the problems he's going through.
“Weekly therapy sessions si Mohan. I guess that was one of the ways, na he’s trying to seek help, or try to fix, or how to deal with 'yung problems niya,” he said.
Javier added that Gumatay has been getting sick more often, probably because of too much stress.
“He’s not doing so well dito talaga. You will see na 'yung health niya, he’s been sick a lot lately. Most people get sick dahil sa stress di ba?” he said.

Abortion in Singapore

Does Rhian meet any one of the above requirements to get an abortion in Singapore?

Truth TWISTER
Knowing Mo's somewhat eccentric and bold personality, I think the uploading of video and making it appear to be uploaded by someone else are all done by none other than Mo himself. (Obvious naman nung sinabi pa niya na may pasasabugin siya.) If that's true, then making the video available to public eye is Mo's desperate and controlling act to fire back to his gf, save his ego, be more popular (bad publicity is still publicity), and keep Rhian inside his borders. If so, the act is nothing but monstrous and selfish. Anyway, I hope my conclusion is not true. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until he cleans up his mess. But then again, the abortion matter is another story, and both parties are responsible.
@ Rhian
@ Rhian, pumayag ka na kasi maging sex slave ni Mo Twister para manahimik na sya.. inayawan mo kasi bigla kaya hahabul habol si kolokoy. tinamaan yung ego nya
ABORTION???
if you are doing this you're like an animal not a human being that killing like itself....
It takes two
First this abortion issue should be taken to account not just the leaked video. It seems all of a sudden abortion became an accepted legal part of the community just because somebody messed up and leaked a supposed secret. I also agree that Rhian seems to be pressured with the influence and ironically support of her family to choose abortion and save her career rather than the child. I believe there's more to this story rather than focusing on Mo,s leaked video of a bothered supposedly father ... a frustrated one.
This should be easy stuff for
This should be easy stuff for authorities to crackdown on abortionists (read: murderers). Ramos and everyone involved in this abortion incident must be brought to justice. Abortion is illegal. Ramos' lawyer must not be allowed to divert the issue into "violence against women and children" when in fact the foremost issue here is murder of a helpless, defenseless child.
