Netizens Criticized Arjo Atayde After Admitted He Has 37 Vehicles
Quezon City 1st District Rep Arjo Atayde was called out by concerned netizens after revealing that he owned 37 vehicles.
Netizens chastised Atayde after revealing the number of vehicles he owned. In a statement, Atayde claimed he would support the commuters in his city who would be affected by the statewide ‘tigil-pasada’ by giving his 37 vehicles.
“In my own little way, I am willing to help my district and nearby areas here in QC by providing our own vehicles to help the commuters, especially our medical frontliners,” Atayde said in a statement.
“We really need to have a plan to minimize the disruption of transportation during the strike. First of all, there must be stand-by trucks and buses ready for deployment to pick up stranded commuters all over different cities especially our medical frontliners, among others,” Atayde added.
Yet, Atayde received critical feedback from netizens who questioned why a public person like him had so many vehicles. On Facebook, Atayde’s office announced that it is providing L300 vehicles to the 37 barangays of Quezon City’s first district in order to assist commuters during the protests.
In June 2021, he give these service vans to numerous barangays in the city. Nonetheless, other Atayde fans defended the official, claiming that he could afford the automobiles because he used to be an actor.
