Heckler at Baguio Public Market denies interacting with VP’s daughter

Baguio City, Philippines – The reported heckler of Jillian Robredo during her visit at the Baguio City Public Market on Wednesday, April 27, 2022, denied that he shouted at Vice President Leni Robredo’s daughter and that he never interacted with her.

In an uploaded video by Facebook user Cliff Lewis, he said that he never saw the VP’s youngest daughter and he never talked to her in person.

“…hindi ko po nakikita ang anak po ni Madam Leni at hindi ko po nakakausap yung anak ni Ma’am Leni ni nakaharap po ay hindi ko po nakakaharap. Nung araw at oras na iyon, ang kasagutan ko po ay yung supporter,” he clarified.

He then explained that the incident started when he requested some of VP Leni’s supporters to let him pass as he was rushing, but instead one of the supporters, he claimed, did not care and instead told him that what is important is his vote for Robredo.

“Nung sinabi ko po na excuse po, padaan po ako ang sagot po sa akin ay ‘wala akong pakialam importante iboto mo si Leni.’ Ngayon po ang sagot ko nung sinabi po sa akin yun ‘ay ganun po ba?’ Hindi pa po nananalo si Madam Leni, nagiging diktadurya [diktador] na kayo, bintang kayo ng bintang na si Marcos ang diktadurya, hindi pala. Kayo pala ang diktadurya [diktador],” he narrated.

“Yun ang sinabi ko kaya po lumapit yung isang supporter na babae, hindi ko po alam kung anong edad pero naglalaro po sa singkwenta pataas ang edad nito kasama po yung dalawang pulis,” he added.

Lewis relayed that the woman pointed her fingers at him prompting him to tell the woman that he should not be doing that because he is a Baguio local and an ‘Igorot’.

Further, Lewis added that the discussion ended there because he was pacified by police officers.

Meantime, as a response in said incident, Mayor Benjamin Magalong issued an apology emphasizing that the physical outburst by the person involved in the incident is not a representative of the city’s legendary hospitable conduct.
