ADVERTISEMENT“The information did not come from me, I was only reacting [to] that information. That is why I apologized to her for reacting on a wrong info,” he said in an interview with ABS-CBN News Channel on Wednesday. Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana, whom Panelo cited as the source of the wrong information he publicized, has already apologized to Robredo for the mix-up. As soon as Robredo issued a strong condemnation of the statements, Panelo said he contacted Lorenzana to clear the issue. “But I said it is really true because of the log that the goods were carried to Legazpi care of VP Robredo, it means that it is not true that we do not welcome VP Leni,” he insisted.
