ANGELES CITY, Pampanga – In a statement posted on social media on April 8, 2022, the camp of Team Lazatin strongly rebuked circulating posts on social media accusing Team Lazatin of paying people to attend their stage meetings in various barangays in the city.
In the said post, Team Lazatin stated, “Mariing pinapabulaanan ng Team Lazatin ang mga malisyosong post sa social media na nagsasabing namimigay ng pera ang Team Lazatin sa mga stage meeting ng team sa mga barangay. Hindi po binabayaran ng Team Lazatin ang mga taong nanonood sa stage meeting. Sila po ay kusang-loob na pumupunta upang magpakita ng kanilang suporta sa Team Lazatin.”
“Ang mga nasabing post sa social media ay pawang kasinungalingan at paninira ng mga kalaban sa pulitika,” the team added.
Team Lazatin also called attention to the 500-peso bill being used in the posts, which are supposedly coming from different people but bearing the same serial number.
“Patunay na recycled at manufactured ang mga litrato na diumano ay ebidensya na may perang ipinamimigay sa mga stage meeting ng Team Lazatin,” Team Lazatin said.
Team Lazatin ended their statement by encouraging voters to be careful in discerning the truth from false allegations.
