Herlene Budol accuses former manager of pocketing earnings
By Neil Ramos
Herlene Budol has come out to air a complaint against her former manager.
She did so via Sen. Raffy Tulfo’s program “Wanted sa Radyo.”
Herlene claimed her former manager, whom she identified as a certain Elizabeth Estrada, pocketed her earnings amounting to almost 1 million pesos.

This, she said, despite them not having a formal written agreement.
“Wala kaming kontrata. Kaibigan (lang) tapos nagpatulong ako sa kanya na rumaket during the pandemic kasi walang wala na akong trabaho nun,” she told the Senator.
“Binigyan ko siya (Estrada) ng maraming time para makapagbayad. Kaso parang pinapaulit-ulit niya yung promise niya na asikasuhin, ipapa-accounting,” she went on.
“Humingi na ako last time ng computation na alam niya sa sarili niya na alam niya kung magkano yung pera ko sa kanya, pero ang ending ako pa yung magbabayad sa kanya.”
According to the show’s legal counsel, Atty. Garreth Tungol, a case of qualified theft or estafa could be filed against Elizabeth.
Herlene is now managed by Wilbert Tolentino.
She is to represent the country at the Miss Planet International pageant to be held Nov. 19 at Kampala, Uganda.
