Aspiring Presidential Candidate's Son Gets Bashed on Social Media for Flaunting Expensive Shoes!
Photos have circulated online in which her son was seen wearing the expensive shoe. The photo drew mixed reactions from netizens, especially to fashion-conscious people that couldn't find any reason to justify the ridiculous price tag for a pair of shoes.
When converted to Philippine peso, the shoes are estimated to be around P839,000, obviously way too luxurious for a basketball shoe. This caused netizens to speak up about the expensive purchase and criticized Poe for flaunting money and luxury.
The controversial remarks also made its way to Senator Grace Poe, and she has a few words of her own to say about the revolving issue. She gave a statement that her son is also working hard as a neophyte on one of the TV stations in the country to be able to finance his own needs and spend his money on things that he desires. Here is what Senator Poe has to say.
Kung naaalala n'yo, ang aking anak e nagtatrabaho rin. Kaya lang kinailangan n'yang-mag leave dahil nga kailangan ma-maintain ng network na 'yun 'yung objectivity. (If you remember, my son was already working. Unfortunately, he was forced to take a leave since his mother network hopes to maintain the objectivity.)She also stated that she taught her sons the essence and value of money so they would be able to finance their needs. However, this wasn't enough to convince the local people as they kept lashing out and bashing Poe which led to the making of the phrase 'Magastos Poe'.
From there, many started to question and worry when Senator Poe wins the election. Netizens left comments about the entire issue, and here are what some of them have to say.
