US Doctor Lambasts VP Leni for Putting a Disgraceful & Dishonest Image to All Filipinos Worldwide

According to Dr. Eli Alegado because of his hardwork in the US he earned the highest designation as the 2003 Physician of the Year, it's a shame to hear that during the Vice President's trip to Boston, she went through public waste in hopes of searching for usable items.

Aside from shaming the Filipino community for doing some garbage scavenging in the US, upon the return of the Vice President, she presented herself to the publilc as a hardworking and ordinary citizen trying to cope with the struggle of daily living like all other ordinary Filipino.


The veteran doctor noted that the Vice President have shamed the Filipino image and made all the hardworking and honest Filipinos seem like as if they are all beggars and have no dignity.

Here's the Complete Statement of Dr. Delgado:

Message to fake Vice President, Leni Robredo: 
I (Dr. Eli Alegado) worked so hard in the United States of America to serve the community and earn the highest designation as the 2003 Physician of the Year which was presented to me by the US Congress. 

It's a shame to hear that while on your recent trip to Boston, Massachusetts this week, you were going through public waste in hopes of searching for usable items. Furthermore, upon your arrival back to the Philippines you presented yourself to the public as a hardworking and ordinary citizen trying to cope with the struggles of daily living like all other ordinary Filipino. 

However, by doing such a disgraceful act in the US, you have shamed the Filipino image within the Western Community. You have made all the hardworking and honest Filipinos around the world seem like as if they are all beggars and have no dignity by going through other people's rubbish. This is an insult to each and every Filipino not only in the United States but also around the world. 

We are hardworking, dedicated, and honest people. We do NOT pickup the leftovers of other people's garbage and surely do not go in search of usable items in Public waste bins. Shame on you for putting such a disgraceful and dishonest image to all Filipinos.
