MANILA -- Actress Loisa Andalio has issued an apology to those who were offended by her recent statement regarding solo travelers. 

This apology comes after an interview with entertainment website PEP where she expressed her opinion that traveling is best experienced when shared, questioning the idea of solo travel.

During the interview, Andalio remarked, “Minsan kasi, ang ano lang, hindi ko maintindihan 'yung mga tao na nagso-solo travel. Parang ang lungkot, kasi, sino 'yung kabatuhan mo na 'ang ganda ng view?'" 

“Grabe yung pinagdadaanan talaga siguro nila para gusto nilang magiging solo na lang," she added. 

(“Sometimes, I just don't understand people who solo travel. It seems lonely because who will you share the beauty of the view with? They must have gone through a lot to prefer being alone.")

Following the backlash from her comments, Andalio clarified her statement in a new interview.

"Medyo bitin talaga 'yung interview na 'yun. Ang opinyon ko dun parang for me, kung ako mag-so-solo travel grabe siguro 'yung pinagdadaanan ko para umabot ako sa mag-solo na lang kasi ako 'yung personality ko gusto ko kasama si Ronnie (Alonte) or 'yung friends or 'yung family. Hindi ko nilalahat, sa akin lang 'yun. Kung na misinterpret ng iba, sorry, opinion ko 'yun. May opinion din sila nirerespeto ko din”

(The previous interview was a bit incomplete. My opinion was that for me, if I were to solo travel, I must have gone through a lot to reach a point where I would prefer to be alone because my personality is to want to be with Ronnie (Alonte), friends, or family. I don't generalize, that's just my opinion. If others misinterpreted it, I apologize. They have their opinions, and I also respect them."
