"We can see in his hands earlier, if I notice our client DJ Panda, his hands were all sweaty. Right? When reading he was shaking. Even though there was already help in the form of a piece of paper earlier. Look at his face, his expression," said Michael Sugijanto in the Semanggi area, South Jakarta, Tuesday (16/12/2025).

The lawyer emphasized that the purpose of this press conference is so that the public can assess Giovanni's sincerity for themselves. According to him, apologizing publicly is not an easy thing, especially for a public figure who is facing legal issues.

Michael also highlighted that apologizing to someone considered an equal, such as an ex-partner, is much more difficult than apologizing to a superior. This is due to the ego and the need to justify oneself that often arise in a conflict.

"But it will be much harder, right, if we apologize to someone we consider equal or below us? Apologizing to colleagues is definitely heavier. To a partner, for example. That's what we always chase. Whether it's a partner or an ex, right," Michael explained.

On that occasion, DJ Panda also appreciated the attitude of the extended family of Erika Carlina who have been willing to open communication to end this conflict. "I also thank Erika's extended family for being willing to resolve this issue. I hope that through my case, it can serve as a lesson for me and the people around me. Thank you," concluded DJ Panda.
