Mar Milked Quintuplets for Media Mileage

Mar Roxas has no conscience for if he has one then he would have fulfilled his promise to shoulder the hospitalization needs of the Fernandez quintuplet, who were born with complications at the Jose
Reyes hospital in Manila.

According to no less than the quintuplet’s father Gary Fernandez, Mar Roxas practically milked his family’s misfortune when he held press conferences and made a veritable circus of his babies and wife for
political mileage.

In the end, Mar Roxas was only willing to give the Fernandez P20,000, some clothes and milk powder, conveniently forgetting his pledge to bankroll all of the medical expenses of the babies and their mother.

With Roxas reneging on his promise, two of quintuplet, Korina Ysabel and Marie Loralaine, passed on to the afterlife, without getting the fighting chance Mar promised them through their parents.

Isn’t it ironic that one of the babies who passed away was named Korina, same as Mar’s wife, the overbearing broadcaster who thinks so highly of herself?

Gary lamented that his two babies could have been saved from death had Roxas made good of his promise of helping them raise money for the medicines that cost P25,000 per vial.

This travesty had already reached the attention of the over nine overseas Filipinos who are now blogging and swinging bats at Mar over the internet.

One blogger hit the nail in the head when he lambasted Roxas in the vernacular, saying:

“Yan na nga ba ang sinasabi ko. Milyon-milyon ang ginagastos sa mga TV ads, kaunting tulong lang sa tunay na mga nangangailangan, hindi pa nagawa. Paano pa kung nakapuwesto na? Puro ngawa at pagsasabing
“lalaban tayo”, pero sa tunay na laban pala, hindi na maasahan. Mumo lang para kay Mar ang kaunting medical assistance para sa pamilyang ito, bilyonaryo ang pamilya niya, pero, hindi man lang naasahan.”

How true. Roxas has been taking us Filipinos for fools with his cheap gimmickry and his media stunts. But there’s that saying that you can fool people some time, but not all the time.

In 2010, let’s show Mar Roxas how hateful is his ilk. Let’s junk this user who epitomizes all that is evil with traditional politicians.
