MANILA, Philippines — The man whose antics during the Wattah Wattah Festival in San Juan City on June 24 went viral was a picture of humility on Friday as he apologized to his victim with Mayor Francis Zamora serving as mediator.
Lexter Castro, known as 'Boy Dila,' for sticking his tongue out while using a water gun against a motorcycle rider said in Filipino at a press conference that he 'deeply' regretted his actions during the festival. 'What was intended as a playful moment turned into something harmful and disrespectful. I understand the gravity of my mistake and the impact it had on the community and the motorcyclist involved. I am truly sorry,' he said.
'Lexter Castro's behavior, though meant in jest, crossed the line and resulted in unnecessary distress for others. We appreciate his willingness to come forward, apologize, and take responsibility for his actions,' he added. Zamora urged Castro to refrain from posting further videos that could taunt or inflame the situation. He highlighted the importance of using social media responsibly and the potential for positive influence.
