Rosmar Tan Denies Money Laundering Allegations, Issues ₱100-Million Challenge to Critics
Businesswoman and social media personality Rosmar Tan has once again shot down claims linking her wealth to money laundering. This time, she went as far as offering ₱100 million to anyone who can prove that she is involved in the illegal activity.
Rosmar made the statement as a guest on the comedy talk show “Your Honor,” hosted by Chariz Solomon and Buboy Villar. The episode, titled “In Aid of Big Money: Yumayaman, Yumayabang?”, aired on November 7 on GMA’s YouLOL YouTube channel, with fellow online entrepreneur Ms. Tsung also appearing as a “resource person,” according to GMA Entertainment.
When the hosts brought up the long-running accusations, Rosmar did not hold back. “Sabi ko nga, magbibigay ako ng ₱100 million kung totoo, kung mapapatunayan n’yo na kasabwat ako o kasangkot ako sa money laundering,” she said, as quoted by KAMI.
The entrepreneur, whose real name is Rosemarie Tan Pamulaklakin, insisted that everything she and her husband Jerome Pamulaklakin own came from their businesses and years of hard work. She believes some people connected her to the issue simply because politicians have hired her as an endorser.
What hurts her most, she said, is how the claims affect the way people see her children’s future. “Kawawa naman pala yung mga anak ko na ang iniisip nila… yun palang mga pundar namin sa magandang future, eh iniisip nila na galing sa ganun,” she shared, based on a report by DailyPedia. She added that her critics will “never” be able to prove anything because she would never feed her kids with money from a dirty source.
The issue first resurfaced in September, when clips from Rosmar’s 2023 “Toni Talks” interview, where she talked about her business earnings and buying properties in cash, spread online, as reported by Latest Chika. At the time, she answered netizens on Facebook and stressed that all of their assets are declared.
Under Republic Act No. 9160, or the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2001, money laundering refers to transactions meant to hide or legitimize money that came from unlawful activities. No evidence tying Rosmar to such activity was cited during the interview.
For now, Rosmar remains confident that her name is clean, and her bold ₱100-million offer shows she is willing to put her money where her mouth is.
