More Urban Legends and Ghost Stories at FACEBOOK
Storyline: Stealing has long been linked to poverty so when news broke out about a shoplifting incident involving Lucy Torres-Gomez, the entire nation was shocked. The blind item first appeared in the political section of The Manila Standard’s February 2004 issue. It then made it’s way to text messages directly naming Lucy Torres as the subject of the scandal. The shocking story also revealed that Lucy was already seeking psychotherapy at St. Luke’s to treat her condition. Evidences including a “surveillance tape” were said to be in possession of some prominent ABS-CBN broadcasters.
Moment of truth: Lucy kept mum on the issue for a while, saying that she “would not dignify the rumor with an answer”. But when a local celebrity talk show explored more on the issue and even suggested the existence of a real “surveillance tape”, the couple decided to step forward. Lucy denied the issue once and for all while Richard did his own investigation to disprove the nasty rumors. Rustan’s Department Store officially released a statement telling the public that there’s no truth in the alleged shoplifting incident and that Lucy is a “customer of good standing”. On the other hand, Douglas Quijano, then Richard’s manager, said that the urban legend might be politically-motivated because Richard was planning to run for senator at that time.
