making 'peace' with andy winter

a close source suggested that i message andy winter. i was apprehensive as i thought i'll be adding more to his misery and get a negative reply from him. anyhow, i made a brief introduction and apologized (i can't think of a better way to write).

surprisingly, he wrote back. i take that as a welcome response from a friend. i cannot disclose the full contents of andy winter's message but it's positive. mitch young was hurt about the whole incident and i believe andy had his share too, what with those negative comments he got from youtube, and they were becoming personal already. and so did mitch. it will never end and unless somebody has to do something about it (i believe that's me), then the gap between them will become as wide as that of the volcano is iceland.

i know in my heart andy winter isn't that bad berdugo that he is. and mitch can be so ever-forgiving and just let the incident pass, all for the sake of libera. so the next time libera comes with andy, we can all breathe and not fear about winter anymore. (and i'll get his autograph by all means!).

mitch is still on duty but kind as he is, he will take the video down. on situations like this where neither parties are willing to say "i'm sorry", there is somehow a dot in their hearts to just forgive & forget and eventually become good friends. i told andy winter libera has already become part of us, the filipinos love them (from manila to cebu).

andy-

let not this incident affect your beautiful memories of the philippines. whatever was said and done, i take that upon myself to say sorry on behalf of those people affected by the incident and i hope you'll still look foward to another visit to our country. and please on your next visit, may i ask for a personal favor? can you give us a SMILE so nobody will get scared of you? thank you.

P.S.

should you have some restrictions on a meet & greet and after concert signing, you can message me and i can relay that to my libera friends. thank you.
