Awra Briguela discusses lasting online backlash from 2023 Makati bar fight
Former child star and social‑media personality Awra Briguela appeared on “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” on August 7, 2024 and said she continues to endure intense cyber‑harassment over a bar brawl that occurred in Makati in June 2023. The incident led to her arrest and criminal complaints, which were later dismissed, and she issued a public apology at the time.
Briguela explained that the ongoing criticism still affects her daily life as a college student, sometimes making her feel like giving up, but she persists because of family support. She emphasized that she was a teenager when the incident happened, has learned from the mistake, and wants the public to recognize she has moved on.
