Fact checking Leni Robredo’s reported P700,000 bed

Share:

By Raïssa Robles

A recent report claims that vice-presidential candidate Leni Robredo was said to have bought a P700,000 bed from a shop in Shangri-la Mall. A Frank Judson Safari Bed Frame from the London Bed Company.

You can view the report here.

And so I asked Robredo to comment on the matter.

She replied:

“Haha. Posted it nga on my facebook wall. I said kahit P70,000, di ako bibili. Anyone is invited to our condo here in QC and our house in Naga to check.”

Any takers to her invite?

  1. CHINA IS NOW BUILDING FLOATING NUCLEAR FUCKING POWER PLANTS

    I can see patriotism in ROXAS persona among all the candidates for presidency. If people sees fault in him being of an elite, I don’t see that as a disadvantaged for him to run the country. He may be a businessman on his own , but I think the protocol is to leave his connection to business holdings once he gets elected. That in itself is a self sacrifice.

    Another thing, being wealthy he can’t just be swayed by another group or persons persuasions to shortchange the country for their own economic gain for he thinks like a businessman and he has no other country to think about to rule in good economic stride but the Philippines.

    IF ONE CANDIDATE THINKS LIKE A CRIMINAL, THEN HE THINKS LIKE A BUSINESS MAN. That’s definitely your man with a feminine touch of LENI as his vice, you can’t go wrong.

    In light of what I am saying is the link below, that one very powerful and rich neighbor country is now pushing to built several floating nuclear platforms on our doorway out to sea .

    It is an ever increasing clout in the South China Sea, which the Chinese newspaper Global Times readily admits as true.

      • The loating or the ucking?
        Hehehe
        better to leave it as it is, more pronounced!
        just shows how really pissed you are.

        lets see what dodirty will say. Morre tren?

        Thi coming Sunday is the last presidential debate townhall style. From what i heard from the news, the viewers/participants ask questions. I hope someone will ask Dodirty a very short but meaningful question that cannot be answered with just a yes or no but with a detailed specific and not motherhood statements reply.

        • hahhaha, Osario with r, :) your style

          Dutz can reply with lotsa F… you’re good whether loating or ucking :)is better than the’ rapist , hahhaha

  2. I think, I missed a lot, but I know this site is even getting better when everybody started coming out of their own shell. Goodluck Raissa.

  5. Pakita po ang ebidensya ng akusasyon, papost lang ang official receiot ng pagkabili para maniwala ang lahat.

  6. Leave No Trace

    After the European Union raised a collective howl against the continuing political killings in the Philippines, President Arroyo ordered her security forces to stop unauthorized hits. More than 800 activists, trade unionists and human-rights workers and nearly the same number of journalists have been killed or kidnapped by the military or the police since Mrs. Arroyo came to power in 2001. In addition, more than 800 criminals have been killed in Davao City by groups believed to be vigilantes, although that city’s mayor, Rodrigo Duterte, and his hit men could behind the extrajudicial killings. Mrs. Arroyo’s order for a stop is more likely for the newspapers only. Her national security adviser, Norberto Gonzales, wants to know what killings the European Union is talking about. So don’t expect the abduction, rape and murder of an NPA commander’s daughter to be the last.

    • I think, duterte is a burgeoning industry surrounded by like-minded people sharing the same credo. they have to prop him up, or they’ll go down and lose their livelihood if their padrino and protector is stopped, his progress curtailed.

      I would not be surprised if these are the same people rigging the surveys now, putting duterte on top having allegedly gotten or bought the majority of cellphones used in the surveys.

      and if elected president, grace llamanzares is going to reward duterte. she has already said she’ll ask duterte to be crime czar of the country. in a way, grace is asking dracula to be president of blood bank. then, we shall have more of the same: troubles galore, killings galore, rapes galore.

      I think, mar roxas is better choice than both grace and duterte.

  7. The Killers

    Human Rights Watch blames the continuing vigilante-style killings in Davao City on President Arroyo. By supporting the city’s tough-guy mayor, Rodrigo Duterte, Mrs. Arroyo, the group says, in effect sanctions the killings. More than 800 people, mostly critics of Duterte, according to House Speaker Prospero Nograles, have been killed since 2001, about the same number of activists, trade unionists, human-rights workers and lawyers who have been killed in various parts of the country since Mrs. Arroyo came to power in that year. But don’t expect anything to come out of the Human Rights Commission’s investigation: the National Police, though ordered by Mrs. Arroyo to support the probe, is daring human rights advocates to prove that there are vigilante killings in Davao.

    • it is risky for visitors to go to davao, lulled into thinking davao is peaceful and safe. once you’re there, you could come under the watchful eyes of kidnappers and then followed. abducted and then taken elsewhere, sold off to abu sayaff, held for ransom, etc.

      gotta use honey to trap flies, that’s my opinion. do come and visit davao, it’s peaceful . . .

      • Peace at what cost? What valor is there in killing children instead of rehabilitating them? What is the vision in killing children instead of the drug leader?
        Davao’s reputation as a peaceful city is based on a site that anyone can put up in 10 minutes. The site is http://www.numbeo.com/crime/city_result.jsp?country=Philippines&city=Davao and the site admits its findings are based on visitors to the site which totaled:

    hindi para mag-usyoso. hehehe.
    gusto kong makapag-kape sa bahay niya bago man lang maluklok si ma’am Leni sa pagka-VP.

    • Sama ako @vander. Ako madala ng 3n1. Sana ok na tong brand na, Classic orig Nescafe. hehe.
      Dalhan din natin si Ma’m Leni ng berocca.

        • @kalakala, berocca is Its a vitamin c, b and others plus minerals, smaller size than alka zeltzer which no longer in the market, the alka seltzer i mean, shoul be diluted in a glass of very cold water, drink like a juice.
          mas gusto ko ang jos drink though.

        • salamat po @rosario. oo nga vit c is anti oxidant kaya anti stress. o sige unang higop mong kape ay para akin kung puede.

        • Oh sure. Sama ka na rin kaya. Isama din natin si nanaypinay710.

        • salamat sa paanyaya. gustuhin ko man pero hindi sa ngayon. gusto ko lang i share sa iyo @rosario na nakaboto na ako at syempre RORO.

          narinig ko kasi a inquirer noong ininterview si Ma’m Leni, nang tinanong sya ano ginagawa to keep on going kahit pagod na sa mga sorties, work.
          sabi ni Ma’m Leni, she takes berocca, pabiro pa nyang sinabi na berocca queen na raw tawag sa kanya ng mga malalapit sa kanya.
