Mayor Bullet Jalosjos set the record straight: the rumors linking him to Dominic Roque bear no truth, as he stressed that people who spread such false information should face consequences.
Sitting down with Jay Ruiz and Congressman Bong Suntay, Jalosjos sorted out the allegations that he bought a condominium unit for Roque, as the rumors referred to him as the actor’s “sugar daddy.”
“Clarify ko lang, actually ‘yung condo totoong akin talaga ‘yon,” he said. “Ginawa ko siyang airbnb. Syempre, as a friend, barkada, si Dom, asked me if I want to have it rented. Natawa na nga lang ako bakit tumalon ‘yung issue sa business na binahay na.”
The mayor of Dapitan called out the entertainment insiders who started the rumors and acknowledged how the netizens rode on them.
“Sana naman itong mga nagkakalat, claiming they are mga batikang journalist, sana naman ingat ingat rin. They have responsibility to the people dapat fact-finding. Hindi ‘yung nalaman nila nasa pangalan ko ‘yung condo sugar daddy nako bigla. Ang problema doon sinakyan, ginagaslight nila ‘yung issue,” he remarked.
Jalosjos expressed his concern for Roque, who has to deal with the aftermath of his separation from actress Bea Alonzo and the rumors linking him to men that put his sexuality in question.
“Naawa rin kami kay Dom. Affected na nga ‘yung tao sa breakup ililink pa kami sa kaniya. Kami pinagtatawanan lang talaga namin pero at some point kailangan talagang tumigil and I think these people have to be reprimanded. Kailangan may consequences, may batas tayo,” declared the mayor.
The politician revealed that he and the actor had an agreement that Roque would fix the condominium unit and pay only 50 percent of the rent. The actor has been renting the place for three years now.
Jalosjos also showed a receipt (as seen in the vlog’s screenshot) for Roque’s payment of the condo rent.
Meanwhile, Suntay, who’s also getting linked to Roque given the allegations that he bought a gasoline station for the actor, said Roque is merely a brand ambassador for his gasoline business.
“Kung talagang magreresearch lang makikita nila as early as five years ago talagang brand ambassador na si Dominic. Ang nakakagulat nga ‘yung pinost pa nilang picture ‘yung contract signing namin ni Dom,” he remarked.
