MANILA, Philippines — A lawmaker called Pharmally Pharmaceutical Corp. stakeholder Rose Nono Lin a “habitual liar” after she claimed during previous congressional hearings that she met Lin Weixiong or Allan Lin in 2009.
In a statement on Friday and during the hearing of the House of Representatives quad committee on Wednesday, Quezon City 5th District Patrick Michael Vargas claimed that Lin’s daughter posted her birth certificate on social media, showing that she was born in 2004.
On the daughter’s birth certificate, Rose Nono Lin still had her maiden name, but Lin Weixiong was identified as the child’s father.

Lin has been accused of being the same Allan Lin who was the suspect in an anti-illegal drug operation in Cavite.
