Allegations of Verbal Abuse, Mistreatment and a suspicious Luxurious Lifestyle have now come out against the Wife of the AFP Chief
The “Mr. Riyoh” Page on Facebook recently posted some serious Allegations regarding the Wife of the current Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). I am reprinting the entire Post below, but also translating it in English:
“LUXURIOUS LIFESTYLE? ALLEGED ABUSE BY THE WIFE OF A HIGH-LEVEL AFP OFFICIAL, CRITICIZED BY STAFF
A Series of serious Allegations are currently making the Rounds in the Military Ranks after some Staff Members issued strong Complaints against Mrs. Melody Brawner, the Wife of AFP Chief of Staff Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr. The Complaints focused on the alleged "Inhumane Treatment" of Personnel and the Lady's Lavish or Luxurious Lifestyle that is now being questioned by the Public.
Complaint of Insult According to information received from Personnel who are afraid to come forward, it seems that Mrs. Melody Brawner considers the AFP as her own Property. The Complaint against her is her alleged frequent swearing and treatment of Soldiers and Staff as Personal Servants or "Property." She even calls herself the "First Lady" of the AFP. Due to this supposed "Evil and Cruelty," some Colleagues are warning that they are already losing patience with the ill-treatment, interference, and verbal and physical abuse of the so-called "First Lady of the AFP."
According to Informants, she considers herself higher than the Chief of Staff. She allegedly attacks and shouts at General Brawner whenever they fight even within the hearing distance of AFP Staff.
Luxury Questioned: Hermes, Gucci, Valentino, and Prada Also at the Center of the Criticism is the call for Transparency on the Source of Mrs. Melody Brawner's boasted wealth.
In Public Photos circulating on Social Media, alleged Evidence of her Luxurious Lifestyle can be seen while many Soldiers are struggling:
Designer Brands: The Lady is said to often flaunt expensive Brands such as Hermes, Gucci, Prada, Valentino, and others.
Luxury Accessories: Also featured are expensive Jewelry and branded Watches, Shoes, and Clothes that show a Luxurious Lifestyle.
Lifestyle Check: The Staff questioned where the Funds for these Luxuries come from since the Lady allegedly has no clear source of income that is sufficient to support this Lifestyle. Her Behavior is said to be very different from her Husband who dresses and lives simply.
Rules under R.A. 6713 If these Allegations are proven true, it could violate Republic Act No. 6713 or the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees. Although she is the Wife of an Official, the Law emphasizes that Public Servants and their Families should live simply.
"Conspicuous Consumption" or Excessive Display of Luxury disproportionate to Income is strictly monitored under the Government to prevent corruption and abuse of power.
There is no Statement yet, or no official Statement has been released by the AFP, Mrs. Melody Brawner, or Gen. Brawner's Camp to clarify the spreading Accusations.
The Page of Mr. Riyoh remains open for any explanation or clarification regarding the serious Allegations being made against the Wife of the Chief of Staff.
The Joke of the Majority continues, “Sir General Brawner is not afraid of China, but UNDER THE SKIRT and AFRAID OF HIS WIFE.“
