NADINE LUSTRE DENIES SHE WAS PAID PHP5-MILLION IN VIRAL LECHON SAUCE PHOTO

 Nadine Lustre finally talked about the story behind her viral photo back in August, when she was spotted buying a lechon sauce at a nearby store in Siargao.

During her appearance in an episode of the radio program Boys Night Out, she was asked to give her story behind the viral photo. The she said, the photo was taken when she was just arrived from a trip, so tired and hungry, and only lechon manok was the fastest available food to eat.

"We went back home, and the only thing we could get is the lechon manok... I bought lechon manok and then there was no sarsa. No sarsa, no suka, walang sawsawan yung lechon manok. So I was like, 'ay parang gusto ko ng Mang Tomas.' Kulang yung lechon manok' pag walang Mang Tomas. Wala na ngang rice, wala panmg sarsa di ba?"

According to the actress, the store was the closest store from her home which is possibly had the sauce. "I got Mang Tomas which is right beside the counter. So I got it, put it on the counter. And then this girl, I saw her already that she was taking a photo. But I was freaking tired, I was like, 'Oh okay, whatever.' Kaya yung mukha ko ganun na lang."

Then the next day she found out that her picture was spreading like wildfire. She also clarified that the brand did not pay her for that photo.
