In an interview with ABS-CBN's news program "TV Patrol" aired Friday, Enrique apologized for the incident.

"I had some drinks sa plane more than I should be having so as a result things got out of hand," he said. "And dahil po dun I want to apologize to my brothers and sisters from Star Magic, I sincerely apologize to Jessy (Mendiola), to JM (de Guzman, Jessy’s boyfriend) if ever I offended them in any way, so I really am sorry. 

Enrique added: "Tao lang nagkakamali, we all make mistakes but you own up to it, you learn from it and you move forward."

The 23-year-old actor also thanked his fans for their support amid the controversy.

“Thank you so much po sa lahat ng fans namin na sumusuporta sa amin, for all the love and support.

“We love you and we just wanna reassure we’re okay, we’re fine,” he said.
