The netizen shared a screenshot of her friend’s Facebook rant about how Alex and her family cut her in line. “What’s with entitled Filipino celebrities lol,” the poster said.
The netizen then wrote: “[Redacted] talaga itong si Alex Gonzaga kagaspangan ng ugali mo nagumpisa ka na naman wala ka patawad pati friendship ko… nakakaloka!”
(“This Alex Gonzaga, your attitude is very rude. You’re at it again, you have no shame not even to my friend. I’m losing my mind!”)
Alex, who found the tweet, defended herself.
She began by saying that a new immigration counter opened and her parents, who were both senior citizens, were asked to form a new line. She also claimed that they had asked permission from the ones lining up in front of them if they can form the new queue. When the Facebook poster in question said that it was supposed to be her turn, Alex and her family let her without question.
Fyi: nagbukas ng new counter yung immigration, my mom and dad (senior citizens) were invited to form a new line, we thought she was with the elders infront of us coz sila na ang queue. Nagpaalam pa kami pumayag sila. Mommy ko ang nauna bigla nya sinabi sya daw dapat, we let her. https://t.co/lDDILBmNLz

She also explained that her family wasn’t in a hurry since they had new tickets to a new flight that was scheduled later that afternoon. She then reiterated that her parents were senior citizens who had the right to be prioritized on queues. “Hindi kami pa-entitled (We’re not entitled),” she said.
When we were lining up fyi may new tickets na kami. Delayed pa new flight namin 3PM so why would we be in a hurry?
11am kami dumating. You weren’t there kaya wag ka magsalita as if alam mo. Kasama ko senior citizens, di kami pa-entitled. Nung nagsabi “friend” mo pinauna namin sya https://t.co/QrlLlXaXmG

Alex also clarified that her mom, Mommy Pinty, had let the Facebook poster pass without an issue. “Nakakalungkot kailangan niya palakihin (It’s sad that she had to make it such a big issue),” she added. “Anyway, I said my piece. Off to positivity and enjoy my trip.

I wish i could talk to the lady who was infront of us in the immigration. She knew what happened. My mom was very polite and even asked her if she could go through the other counter.
When she was about to cross the yellow lane the lady cut my mom and said siya dapat.
