Paulo Avelino defends Jake Cuenca after police chase incident

Paulo Avelino was quick to defend Jake Cuenca after he was involved in a police car chase incident on Saturday night.  

On social media, the actor asked the public to “get your facts straight” before posting their thoughts about the issue online.  

Paulo said that he would also flee the scene if men wearing civilian clothes were shooting his vehicle.  

I wouldn’t stop for anyone shooting my vehicle wearing civilian clothes. Pass through a checkpoint? Hinarang ba? If someone was shooting me it’s either I shoot back or run for my life. Wrong place wrong time. https://t.co/H89ATNZwqQ

He also disproved news that Jake was drunk when he allegedly hit a police car while driving that night. The 33-year-old explained that his good friend was out to visit him after he had just recovered from COVID-19.  

Drunk? No. Nakainom? Maybe. Nakasagasa ba? Nakasakit ng tao? Hindi. Walang malay na nagmamaneho papunta dito sa punyeta kong bahay dahil kaka-recover ko lang sa covid. https://t.co/vSFrRHhfFq

Same thing I would do for someone I love. If you get Covid then F it. I wouldn’t care If I get it too. I’m taking care of you whether I get it or not. If I die due to covid, I’ll be happy I did it for someone I love.
