Abegail Rait apologizes for causing hurt by coming out as Francis M's alleged lover

MANILA, Philippines — Abegail Rait apologized for causing pain to the late Francis Magalona's family after she and her daughter revealed themselves as related to the rapper. 

In a 15-minute video, Rait shared how she felt after the aftermath of her appearance in an episode of "Pinoy Pawnstars," where she and daughter Gaile Francesca sold the jersey of Francis, also fondly called Kiko. 

Rait said she turned down several interview requests after the revelation, but decided to upload a video addressing the hanging questions and the bashing she and her daughter are going through.

"Okay lang sa akin kung ako na 'yung pinaka-masamang tao sa paningin ninyo. Homewrecker, kabit, mistress — lahat na ng adjective na nagamit niyo, tanggap ko po. Pero ang ipinakikiusap ko sana ay ‘wag naman ‘yung anak ko," she began. 

She cited the comments and articles that were written about her and her daughter, calling some unfair for their captions that caused intrigue. 

“Aminado po ako, tao lang ako na nagkakamali, nasasaktan, pero imbes na iiyak ko ay ipinapakita ko sa anak ko na kaya ko siyang ipagtanggol. Sana po maintindihan niyo ako bilang ina na nagsasalita para sa kanyang anak," she said. 

Rait shared that she received letters, which she said she will withhold the names that provoke her and contain harsh words. She said it was "too much."

"Tinatanong n'yo po ako 15 years. Nanahimik na rin lang naman ako, bakit kailangan ko pang ipangalandakan sa buong mundo na may anak ako kay Kiko?"

"For the record, sa lahat ng hindi nakakaalam, iisa-isahin ko po sa inyo. Sabi n'yo planado ang paglantad naming mag-ina at hindi magandang venue ang paglabas namin kay Boss Toyo (host of "Pinoy Pawnstars") dahil gusto lang sumikat at ginagamit lang ang pangalan ni Kiko para magka-pangalan. Natakbo ako sa barangay elections. Pang-pondo para sa pagtakbo. Eh hindi po totoo 'yun," she stressed. 

Rait recently ran in the Barangay polls but failed to win a seat.
