A woman in the Philippines is at the centre of a social media storm after allegedly passing off an Airbnb as her own home, inviting friends, relatives and a priest to bless the property and propping up family photographs on shelves that were never hers. What began as a short-term rental in Ilocos Norte has now sparked anger, jokes and fresh allegations about her past.
Giovah Rosh Hanah Arafiles, an Airbnb renter, is accused of holding a full house blessing inside a property she had booked but allegedly never paid for. The claim, raised by a friend of the owner, has drawn thousands of comments, a statement from the owner herself and renewed scrutiny of Arafiles's past.
