According to the report written by PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) today, the two actors who both attended the said birthday celebration of their friend, Mark Reyes who is the current director of the top rated series Zorro, Richard Gutierrez and former T.G.I.S. mainstay and Nina Ricci Alagao’s husband, Michael Flores got into a violent confrontation after arguing about something before heading their way home midnight of March 29 that happened at the parking lot of the Oceana Restaurant but no one confirmed who was the one who pointed out the gun to whom.

As of March 30, PEP removed the said write-up on their site and issued their official statement about the said issue. The editor-in-chief of the entertainment blog, Jo-An Maglipon who is also the Editor-in-Chief of YES! Magazine, expressed their apology to clarify and correct what they’ve reported. According to them, a report did reached PEP at around 1 A.M. about an incident concerning two actors, who was identified as Richard Gutierrez and Michael Flores. The editor gave instructions to the staff to investigate further the incident.  And at 7:20 P.M., the story was then already uploaded without any facts gathered from the people who was there who’ve witnessed the said incident. “To Richard Gutierrez, Michael Flores and Epy Quizon who were named at the story, our sincerest apologies.”

Is there any truth behind the controversy? Or it was really a mistake such as irresponsible journalism? Hmmm…  What do you think?
