The now-deleted post read: “Masubra 70mil ka mga tawo ang nagatambong sa Robredo-Pangilinan Grand People’s Rally sa Paglaum Sports Complex sa Bacolod City.” However, 70,000 in Hiligaynon is sisyenta mil, a loanword from the Spanish language. read, “More than 70 million people attended the Robredo-Pangilinan Grand People’s Rally at Paglaum Sports Complex, Bacolod City.”īombo Radyo Bacolod has admitted to posting the report but clarified that it intended to report 70,000 people.
