"It takes courage for a mother to speak out the way she did and I have immense respect for such people, no matter who she is trying to defend, because I have met them all here in Brazil before; mothers of killers, rapists, kidnappers, and thieves. As a mother she knows and understands only too well her son’s wrongdoings; but as a mother she has the ability to forgive and to guide, but do we have that same ability? I ask you? I am known as a compassionate person although I don’t feel much compassion for how far Mr. Solis was willing to go in his absurd greediness for recognition, fame, and fortune. Those consequences he will now have to face due to the wrong choices he made and he will feel the after effects of them for many years to come. However I, here and now, openly accept his mother Amelia’s sincerest apologies to me for her son’s wrongdoings. I also have the capacity to forgive Solis for what he did and hopefully he has learnt a lesson from his fellow Filipino citizens that such things are not tolerated in a dignified society where we all have a responsibility for each other. Good people, let’s move on now, because justice has already been done. We don’t want a tragedy worse than what we already have. That young man needs to move on too, change his attitudes and redirect himself on the right pathway to success, which we all know, is only possible through honest and hard labour, something Mark Solis will obviously have to learn along the way, because there is no other way." - Gregory Smith, creator of the photograph stolen by Mark Solis
