The governor of Camarines Norte Edgardo Tallado apologized to his family, colleagues and supporters over the intimate pictures of him along with a woman that have circulated online.

In a speech before his supporters Tallado asked for forgiveness saying that he is only human, who is also subject into weaknesses.

“Kung ako po ay nagkamali, tao lang po ako. May Kahinaan din po ako. Ito po ay sana unawain nating lahat,” said Tallado.

He also calls for the people, he identified as his enemy in politics, to stop spreading the pictures noting that he still wanted to fix his marriage. He also apologized to the woman in the picture.

“Doon po sa aking mga kalaban sa pulitika, tigilan na po natin yung pagkakalat ng mga pinopost niyo po sa Facebook at anu man dahil napakalaswa po niyan. Wala pong kinalaman sa trabaho ko iyan. Tuligsain niyo po ako kung ang trabaho ko po ang kailangan,” Tallado said.

“Ako po ay humaharap sa inyo ng eye-to-eye. Dahil ako po wala pong isyu dito na ako ay nagnakaw ng kaban ng bayan,” he added.

Tallado was seen kissing and caressing a woman in a three-photo collage that surfaced in the internet over the weekend. The woman was also seen naked in one picture while kissing the politician.

Mrs. Josefina Tallado, the wife of the governor, surfaced days after being declared missing. She said she ran away from their house after she fears for her life when her husband confronted her, with a gun hidden at his back, accusing her of leaking the photos online.
