James is not making excuse for not making it to see the fans that are waiting for them. Please understand. Kahit gaano pa kapagod ang JaDine. Pinipilit nila na mapagbigyan ang lahat. Para sa ngsasabi na nag eexcuse si James ayan po ang evidence na hindi. Nasaktan po yung tao. salamat po. Naiintidihan po namin na gustong gusto nyo po sila makita at sila din naman po. Pero wag naman po sana sa extent na masaktan sila. Ayaw din po namin na nagkakasakitan kayo. Wala pong may gusto ng nangyari. So please po next time let’s just be more careful and not hurt someone. Pray for James fast Recovery. – chadkinis (via Instagram)
