There is no evidence to support the claim of Cavite 7th District Rep. Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla that those who participated in the grand rally of presidential candidate and Vice President Leni Robredo in the province received P500 each.
Without providing evidence, Remulla said in an interview with DZRH on March 5, 2022 that a politician spent P6 million to P8 million to hold a political activity in General Trias the night before.
He also alleged without proof that many of the attendees were not from Cavite.
Responding to the lawmaker, the Cavite chapter of volunteer group Robredo People’s Council denied that attendees were paid to attend the rally.
“Ang pakikilahok sa nasabing rally ay bunga ng nag-uumapaw na paghahangad ng mga Caviteño para sa pagbabago. Ito ay purong ‘bolunterismo’ – walang hininging kabayaran at kapalit kundi ang pag-asang maibalik ang matino, mahusay at may resibong pamamahala sa bayan,” read a March 6 statement shared by Cavite Provincial Board Member Kerby Javier Salazar.
