A netizen exposed these luxury watches owned by the incumbent Pampanga Governor
Pampanga Governor Lilia Pineda was the subject of this expose on Reddit, featuring the luxury watches she was spotted wearing.
Pineda is one of the prominent figures in Central Luzon politics. She is considered the matriarch of the highly influential Pineda political clan.
The Governor made headlines across news outlets and social media platforms following the heavy monsoon (habagat) rains, which resulted in flooding.
She and her son, Pampanga Vice Governor Dennis Pineda, faced criticism after being photographed wearing high-end branded designer clothes and raincoats during a flood inspection in Lubao.
Pampanga Governor Lilia Pineda apologized for this and explained that she just wore whatever her hand grabbed at that time.
This raises questions about their lifestyle, since Republic Act No. 6713 states that public officials should maintain simple living.
Redditor @dogtaurusotimor showcased this under r/ChikaPH. The luxury watches that Gov. Pineda wore. The Governor owns several Patek Philippe watches, and the most expensive, according to the post, is worth P9 million. “Pampanga Gov’s Collection Chronicles (Ep. 1): The Wristwatch Audit,” the post’s caption stated.
The Pampanga Governor also owns Panthere de Cartier and A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Thin watches. Other watch brands she owns are Audemars Piguet Millenary Hand-Wound and Tifanny Eternity.
In the comment section of the post, netizens expressed their negative reactions to Gov. Pineda. Many netizens commented that even though she was wearing luxury items, she still does not look luxurious. Some netizens accused the Governor of using public funds to buy her luxury watches. Here are some comments.
The netizen also shared another post featuring more luxury pieces of jewelry that the Pampanga Governor was seen wearing. “Pampanga Gov’s Collection Chronicles (Ep. 2): The Bling Bureaucracy,” the netizen wrote in the caption of the post.
