'I cannot say sorry for something that was not intentionally delivered to them.'

THE director and writer of the controversial film "Maid in Malacañang" said that he has nothing to apologize to those offended by some scenes in his film.

Yap said despite the calls from critics to boycott, he was still glad that more people came to see the film.No misinterpretation on 'mahjong' scene Yap was referring to the 1988 Mother Jones story "In the Grotto of the Pink Sisters" written by American journalist Anne Nelson. In a tweet earlier this week, Nelson clarified that there was no mention of late president and the sister playing mah-jong. But Yap said that Nelson’s comment was sought out by the detractors of the film. He earlier emphasized that Nelson’s article was not the reference of his story.

Yap claims that the issue on the nuns playing mahjong was blown out of proportion even though he didn't specifically mentioned the Order of the Discalced Carmelites in Cebu in his film.Despite criticisms he received from members of the Discalced Carmelites in Cebu, Yap said that this was in contrast with the Carmelite Nuns in Iloilo was very supportive to him.
