'Matic magsinungaling': Garin fact-checks Ong’s claim that she's taking 'maintenance'
Iloilo Rep. Janette Garin described Cassandra Ong, a personality linked to illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs), as a "pathological liar" during a House hearing.
Garin, a doctor, questioned Ong's claim of taking maintenance medication for low blood pressure and anxiety.
Ong appeared to hesitate and consulted her lawyers when asked about the specific details of her maintenance medication.
Ong stated her maintenance was for "blood" and anxiety, and that she was recently discharged from the hospital after experiencing dizziness and stress during a previous hearing.
Garin observed Ong smiling while discussing her health condition and later noted that Ong was given iced tea to manage her blood sugar levels after the hearing.
