Anjo Yllana broke his silence once more as he admitted the mistakes he’s done against Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon. This came after losing the legal battle which was filed by TVJ Productions, Inc. against him. Speaking with the media at an event earlier this month, he expressed how he regrets the actions he has done.
“I made a public apology. I said sorry. I am vocal na mahal ko sila hanggang ngayon and I admitted I had mistakes. May mga mali akong nagawa. Sabi ko nga, pinagsisihan ko naman ‘yun,” he expressed.
Anjo lost the legal battle and was ordered by the Mandaluyong City Regional Trial Court Branch 279 to pay ₱3.5 million in damages.

He then shared that his wish is for the emotions to subside, especially if there’s any hint of anger and resentment against him.
“Mas wish ko ngayon is sana humupa na–– kung meron man ang sama ng loob at galit–– sila,” he maintained.
When asked about their friendship, Anjo admitted that it has become “dormant” for years already, soon after he parted ways with the show.
“Yung friendship kasi namin medyo dormant na for years kasi nung nagresign ako sa show, hindi ko na sila nakakasama at nakakausap. Mas masakit, para sa akin, mas masakit ‘yung narealize ko na pag meron ka palang mga taong pinakisamahan, minahal, and nararamdaman mo na may galit sila sa’yo — ‘yun ang masakit sa akin. Hindi naman ‘yung guilty ka or may babayaran ka,” he added.
He asserted that he has learned from his mistakes and acknowledged what went wrong.
“I admit naman na I made a mistake. Parang kasalanan ko na naging emotional din ako. Naglabas ako ng mga sama ng loob. Pero ‘yun nga, dahil first time lahat ‘to sa akin, ang importante sa akin ay natutunan ko na ‘ay mali pala to’,” he said.
While Tito, Vic, and Joey have yet to make any official statement as of writing, TVJ Productions, Inc. previously welcomed the Court's decision as "a definitive vindication of the integrity" of the noontime variety program.
