On January 7, 2021, Galido said, “Nung nagising ako to check my schedule, mga bandang 2:30 a.m., si Tin lumapit sa akin, then she grabbed my hand, and sabi niya sa akin, ‘Sis punta tayo sa kabila. Check natin kung merong straight guy doon.”

“Ako naman, sinamahan ko siya, ‘tapos siguro mga five minutes, six minutes, bumalik din kami agad sa room.”

Galido asserted that everyone who checked into Room 2207 are gays. “Napansin nga namin yung mga tao sa 2207, wala naman guwapo ‘tapos mga matata… parang may age na. Bakla pero may mga edad na. Sabi ko, ‘Doon na lang tayo sa kabila, wala naman pogi dito.”

“So, pumunta na kami pabalik sa room namin to welcome the new year,” Rosales stated.

When Rosales was asked if he introduced or met this basketball player in 2207, he said. “Wala po kasi akong kilala at alam ko matatandang bakla sila, wala akong… sorry, sorry sa term pero, yeah, there’s… we did not see any straight guys there.”
