Francisco said he got angry by Prats and the group's constant teasing of the his former girlfriend Melai Cantiveros, who is also part of the cast of "Banana Split."

He then appealed to Prats to understand his situation and forgive him. 

"Alam ko na sobrang mahal mo si Melisa (Cantiveros), kaya lang sana mapatawad mo ako, kasi siyempre, lalaki man ako at alam mo 'yung feeling ba na pagka-alam ko  na too much na yung ano mo [pang-aasar] kay Melisa. So sana maintindihan mo, bilang lalaki ba na nagmamahal. Humihingi ako ng paumanhin sa iyo na sana ay patawarin mo ako sa nagawa ko," Francisco said in the interview, addressing Prats.
