 "I stand by every single word I wrote as an expression of my frustration with certain events currently taking place in our country," she said on Monday. "However, contrary to what some of you might believe, I never, NOT EVER, cursed the Philippines."

"To serve her is one of my greatest honors. To be able to hold my head up high and say, 'Yes, I am Filipino' representing the hundreds of millions of brethren both here at home and all over the world is a source of pride and pleasure."

"To further clarify," she continued, "I didn't say p- i- mo, or p- i- ka. If that was what I meant, I would've been explicit in my expression. My p- i- was aimed at no one in particular, and was used only as an outburst, a cry. My apologies if I hurt your feelings with my choice of words."

"If after following this post you still decide to cuss me out, you're well within your right to do so. I totally understand and get that you're doing it as one tasked to protect our country from anyone that dares to desecrate it. Know though that that was not my intent."
