Xian Lim is once again being criticized for supposedly refusing to wear an Albay shirt for a Fiesta Tsinoy Albay event.
 
Albay Gov. Joey Salceda has even spoken about it, posting on Facebook his reaction on the issue. “If his road manager checks his record, Albay paid for his many guestings since way back 2011 when his talent fee was just P75,000 (Ginoo ni Magayon) and now P350,000 for Fiesta Tsinoy Albay. It’s either 1. His parents did not raise him well. 2. He had bad education. 3. He is not managed well. 4. His character is inversely proportional to his looks. 5. He is on something.”
 
Xian has already posted his reply on Twitter, explaining that “My parents raised me to be respectful and generous to everyone, and my management has always stressed the virtues of decency and humility. I do not do drugs and have worked hard to get to where I am. If you send me the t shirt and after I have cleared it with my clothing endorsement, I would be more than happy to wear it online and on air. I am also very willing to promote the book of Albay.”
 
The actor clarified on Twitter that he was upset because of the online story that didn’t tell the right story. He claims he never said “I am not here to promote Albay” and that he would never ever say anything like that. What he said was “Sorry po, hindi ko po maisuot yung tshirt kasi baka magka conflict sa clothing endorsement ko. Pasensya na po.”
 
He also apologized to the governor and the people of Albay “for the misunderstanding about my reasons for refusal to wear the t shirt.”
