Rendon Labador Called His Controversial Motivational Rice the “National Rice”
Self-proclaim online motivational speaker Rendon Labador branded his controversial rice as the Filipinos’ “national rice”.
The controversial social media personality has been earning attention from the online community since he announced his new business venture. It can be recalled that Rendon opened his restaurant named “Episode Bar + Kitchen”.
Meanwhile, some netizens questioned the pricing of his food. The online community complained about the alleged overpricing of his foods and drinks in his newly opened restaurant.
A Facebook user posted a photo of what appeared to be a menu price list for Labador’s restaurant. When they saw the menu price list, which highlighted the P750 grilled porkchop, the internet community was astonished.
Netizens also questioned the P100 price of the “pandan rice.” Rendon responded to the criticisms by calling his rice “motivational,” implying that people should work hard to afford it.
“‘THE MOTIVATIONAL RICE’ LUMABAN KA at pilitin mong umangat sa buhay para yung MAHAL sayo ngayon ay maging MURA balang araw. Again, this is not to discriminate but a wake up call para itaas mo ang standards mo! Gamitin mong MOTIVATION yan!!” he said in his post.
Meanwhile, Rendon was disheartened by his resto bar’s failing rating. The social media star bemoaned the poor ranking since some Facebook users leave feedback but do not dine at his restaurant.
“The no. 1 sports bar/restaurant got the lowest ratings!!! Wala bang feature ang Facebook na required ka munang pumunta o kumain bago ka makapag-rate?” Rendon noted.
Despite the low rating, Rendon stated that they will not give up since they are motivated. He even stated that the future of the Filipino people is dependent on his “motivational rice,” also known as “national rice.”
“Do you thing that Episode Bar + Kitchen deserves a seconed chance? Motivated kami at hindi susuko! Ang kinabukasan ng bawat Pilipino ay nakasalalay sa #MotivationalRice ito ang ating “National Rice”,” he stressed in his post.
His message has gone viral on social media, eliciting a variety of responses from the online community. Some netizens ridiculed his statement about displaying his rice and questioned its cost.
