One of Gretchen Ho’s relatives got denied at the foreign exchange counter at the Gardermoen Airport in Oslo, Norway, citing corruption and money laundering in the Philippines.

In a Facebook post on Monday evening, October 6, the broadcaster expressed her dismay with how the lady at the counter approached her relative.

According to Gretchen, her family member was with a group of friends at the time. While traveling abroad, the group was asked to exchange their money elsewhere, emphasizing that they cannot do so at the airport due to corruption and money laundering in the Philippines.

“Lady at the counter goes — “You came from the Philippines? We cannot exchange your dollars because of the corruption and money laundering in the Philippines,” she wrote in her post, adding that the relative was trying to exchange $300.

“Terrible. What are we going to do about this, Pilipinas?” she wrote.

In an update, Gretchen said she had submitted a report about the incident to the Philippine Ambassador to Norway.

Contrary to some skeptics, she also clarified that she used her personal account for that specific post and that it is not fake.
