Azkals Angel Guirado, Lexton Moy break silence on sexual harassment issue

Azkals Angel Guirado and Lexton Moy

Angel Guirado and Lexton Moy of the Philippine Azkals turned to Twitter to air their side on the sexual harassment complaint filed against them by match commissioner Cristy Ramos.

In Spanish, the Guirado said he was wearing shorts and not briefs contrary to what Ramos wrote in her complaint.

"Thank you all. It's crazy what some people can do to be in the spotlight. Let me say first that I was wearing shorts, and even if I were in my underpants I was in a locker room, getting ready to play. She should have asked permission to enter, but if you enter uninvited then you must face the consequences. But hey, don't say it's "sexual harassment." Those are very loaded words, and the press should ask me first before publishing anything. I think [what has happened] is not fair and they've just been toying with a real person's life. I hope they rectify those comments. Cheers," Guirado said.

Moy, meanwhile, tweeted that he was saddened about the allegation and that he will address the sensitive situation, professionally and respectfully.

Azkals team captain James Younghusbad also had a meaningful tweet Monday which was 'retweeted' by Moy.

"Should know the facts first before you judge people!" the tweet reads.
