Television and Production Exponents Incorporated (TAPE Inc.) President and Dapitan Mayor Seth Frederick P. Jalosjos admitted owning the condominium unit where model actor Dominic Roque resides.
In an interview, Jalosjos clarified that Roque was only his close and trusted friend, and the model was paying him for the condominium unit lease.
“Clarify ko lang, actually ‘yung condo totoong akin talaga ‘yon,” said Jalosjos. “Ginawa ko siyang airbnb. Syempre, as a friend, barkada, si Dom, asked me if I want to have it rented,”
“Natawa an nga lang ako bakit tumalin ‘yung issue sa business na binahay na,” he added.
Meanwhile, Congressman Bong Suntay, who was also linked to Roque, denied in the same interview that he gifted a gas station to the model.
According to him, Roque was only a brand ambassador of his fuel 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 said.
It can be recalled that Dominic acquired the service of a law office to defend himself from the rumors being spread by veteran columnist Cristy Fermin.
