No such thing as P2-M Christmas bonus for solons - Ridon
Manila Bulletin
|January 4,2026
Bicol Saro Party-list Rep. Terry Ridon has once again called out Batangas 1st district Rep. Leandro Legarda Leviste over his alleged lies.
This time, Ridon says its Leviste's claim that House of Representatives members received a P2-million Christmas bonus that doesn't make sense.
"Hinahanap ko 'yung bonus. Unang-una sa lahat, meron talagang pattern ng kasinungalingan, falsities, inaccuracies si Congressman Leviste at isa na naman po ito sa halimbawa nun," the lawyer-solon said in a DZMM interview Friday, Jan. 2.
(I am looking for the bonus. First of all, Congressman Leviste truly has a pattern of lies, falsities, and inaccuracies, and this is yet another example of that.)
