PHILIP SALVADOR
AT A recent drinking binge (pa-binge-binge ka pa riyan, walwalan, ‘no!) ay dumako ang usapan ng aming grupo kay Phillip Salvador. His name just cropped up out of nowhere.
Ayon kasi sa aming kainuman, Kuya Ipe was richer by P1 million at a casino. We instantly dismissed the tsika as “history.”
Sabi namin, noong isang taon pa ‘yon. And it wasn’t Kuya Ipe who Lady Luck (or the patron of slot machines, if there’s one) smiled at kundi ang kanyang partner na si Tita Emma Ledesma.
In fact, pagbibida pa namin, kahit paano’y naambunan kami ng konting grasya na ipinakipadala ni Tita Emma sa noo’y co-radio anchor naming si Wendell Alvarez.
Pero giit ng aming drinking mate, kelan lang daw ay nagwaging muli ang semi-active actor.
Aba, if true ay napakasuwerte naman talaga sa pindutan ni Kuya Ipe that he doesn’t have to work his butt. Siguro nga—we told ourselves—may mga taong sadyang lapitin ng suwerte pagdating sa pakikipagsapalaran sa casino, as there are also gamers who were simply born unlucky.
So, true kaya na instant millionaire na naman si Kuya Ipe? #AlamNa.
