Robredo said she no longer shrugs off fake news about her because some
people tend to believe it in the absence of a response from her.
Here
are the first six fake news items that Robredo shot down in the video:
1. She masterminded
Jesse’s death
Robredo
said the allegation she was behind husband Jesse’s death in 2012 was one of the
saddest claims written about her.
“Unang una, bakit ko
naman ipapapatay ‘yung taong pinakamamahal ko?” she
asked.
The
Vice President said she couldn’t fathom why anyone would think she engineered
the crash of Jesse’s plane in Masbate when she and her children went through a
difficult time coping with his death.
“Bakit ko papahirapan
‘yung sarili ko? Bakit ko ‘yun gagawin sa mga anak ko?” she
asked.
2. She married a leftist
in her teens
Robredo
confirmed that she got married twice, but it was only to Jesse. She said they
had both a civil wedding and a church wedding.
As for
her supposed wedding photo with a suspected leftist, Robredo said it was of
another couple. She said the couple’s child called out the person who shared
the picture on Facebook to say the persons were her parents.
“Nakakahiya na nadamay pa
sila para tirahin ako,” Robredo said.
3. She has or had several
boyfriends after Jesse died
Robredo
said she already denied rumors of having a romantic relationship in an
interview with Karen Davila. While she said she couldn’t answer allegations
each time they come up, she reiterated that she never had a boyfriend after
Jesse died.
“Mula noong namatay ang
asawa ko, hindi ako nagka-boyfriend, wala akong boyfriend at wala akong
kabalak-balak mag-boyfriend,” she said.
4. She and Quezon City
Rep. Jorge “Bolet” Banal are in a relationship
A
variation of the “boyfriend” rumor, Robredo denied she was or is in a
relationship with Banal. She said she and the lawmaker had several photos
together in the past because Banal was assigned to her by the Liberal Party as
her “political close-in.”
Robredo
explained that when LP was courting her to run for vice president, she was
hesitant because she did not know a lot of politikos, and thus had no idea how
to deal with them. The party, she said, solved her worries by assigning three
“close-ins,” one of whom was Banal.
“I am reiterating that since my husband died, I’ve never had any boyfriend, I don’t have any boyfriend, and I don’t have any plans to have one.”
“Mabuti naman kasi dati
ko na siyang kasama, matalik siyang kaibigan ng asawa ko, magkasama sila at
magkasama kami sa Kaya Natin!, at siya ‘yung close-in. Pero hindi lang naman
siya ‘yung close-in ko noon,” the Vice President said
of Banal.
Robredo
said the other two close-ins she was with during the campaign were women.
As LP’s
chairperson, Robredo said she continues to work closely with Banal because he
had been appointed as the party’s permanent liaison with the Office of the Vice
President.
5. Romantic relationship
with one “Nonoy Ladines”
She also rejected insinuations that she was living an opulent lifestyle, saying that her former and current colleagues in Congress and in Naga City know that she is very stingy.
Robredo
admitted that she and Nonoy Ladines always pose sweetly in photos. She said Ladines
is the staffer of one councilor in Naga City, who acts as her “political
close-in” whenever she goes home.
So is
she and Ladines involved romantically?
“Mas malambot ‘yun sa
akin. Mas babae,” Robredo said.
6. Romantic relationship
with a “clingy stranger”
Robredo
said the guy she was pictured with showing his hands wrapped around her waist
was a makeup artist sent to style her during a fiesta she attended in Aklan.
The
Vice President said the guy is gay.
“Mas malambot rin siya sa
akin, kaya siguro pumayag akong magpa-picture ng ganoon,” she
said.
