"Ako po ay humihingi ng paumanhin at ng inyong mabuting pasensya lalo na po sa mga hindi lubos na nakaunawa sa konteksto ng aking punto ukol sa aming diskusyon ni Atty. Lorna Kapunan sa Senado. Ang aking mga katanungan po ay hypothetical base sa sentimiento at realidad ng mga pang-karaniwang Pilipino. Hindi po ito mula sa aking mga personal na gawain, paniniwala o karanasan," he said.

In his statement, Robin said he is simply asking for a discussion and a thorough understanding of the important matter at hand, regarding consent.

"Ang linya po ng aking pagtatanong ay upang magkaroon ng diskusyon at pagbibigay-linaw. Ito po ang realidad sa tunay na estado ng relasyon ng ordinaryong mag-asawang Pilipino. Ang pinang-gagalingan ko po ay upang gabayan ang karamihan ukol sa isyu ng marital rape. Kasama na din po dito ang sinasabing “gray area” sa Family at Civil Code kahit pa man mayroon tayong Separation of Church and State," he said.
