JUNE Mar Fajardo hopes the PBA reconsiders its decision to press charges against the Spiderman intruder who disrupted Game Five of the 2019 PBA Philippine Cup Finals on Friday night.
"Wala na naman sa akin 'yun. Wala akong problema sa kanya," the soft-spoken five-time league MVP said on Saturday, adding he has already forgiven the hooligan.
"Mali man ang ginawa niya, hindi niya rin naman sadya na makasakit. Mali lang talaga yung paraan na ginawa niya para mag-send ng message."
Fajardo found himself down on the floor after he collided with the trespasser near midcourt at the 3:08 mark of the fourth quarter.
The man wearing the Spiderman mask was holding placards spreading positivity and even said that he only wanted to remind everyone to "unite as one" especially during this election season.
He was later identified as Paolo Felizarta, 31, from Imus, Cavite.
Security were quick to corral the streaker as police took him to nearby QCPD Station 7 where he spent the night and possibly the next few days. Felizarta is facing one count of alarm and scandal and unjust vexation for his actions.
Fajardo has already reached out to Commissioner Willie Marcial as he hopes to have talk to the unruly fan after the best-of-seven championship series.
San Miguel is looking to extend the series, as well as its bid for an unprecedented all-Filipino five-peat, against Magnolia on Sunday in Game Six, still at Smart Araneta Coliseum.
