While much has been written and speculated about the drunken incident of Enrique Gil on the flight to London, Fashion PULIS recently obtained the account of an eyewitness of what happened. As always, Fashion PULIS feels it is my responsibility to share this version with all of you my dear readers. In the end, it is up to you to decide which version to believe. 

Upon boarding, Gil already seemed as having had a drink too many. He was seated next to Liza Soberano, who was tired and wanted to sleep, so she covered herself with a blanket. Across the aisle, Jessy Mendiola was seated next to Luis Manzano. From time to time, Mendiola would converse with Manzano, who was watching videos.

Being drunk, Gil continued to pick on Soberano, who opted to ignore him. However, he was persistent, and thus, Soberano transferred to the back area, as she wanted to catch up on sleep. Gil then proceeded to walk to and from along the aisle, and sit and stand, and move again. When he reached the galley, another actor joined him and both started to pick on each other like two drunken men. Gil allegedly pulled the shirt of this other drunk actor repeatedly that offended the latter. Their rising voices attracted attention, but nothing more ensued as they were pacified by this other passenger who advised them to return to their seats. To ensure that Gil would not be bothersome, he was escorted by this passenger back to his seat.

When the plane landed in London, the talents were quick to wake up and move about. Gil, who was too drunk to remember anything, had a difficult time waking up. Although he was offered assistance at the immigration counter, Gil managed on his own and was allowed entry to London.

From this account, there was no incident involving Mendiola, who has yet to give her side clearly. However, the accounts so far agree that Gil was very drunk during the flight, and quite possibly have no recall of his actions under the influence of alcohol. While Gil apologized for his actions, no further statements were made on the incident. The incident escalated when social media became the venue for speculations, bashings, and challenges coming from various parties, including actors and fans.

As always, FashionPulis is open to other parties involved in the incident.
