I came across an email of him, an established fashion designer (who i have not heard of in my entire life!) humilitaing a male cashier (who he called "bakla" so many times with intensity) asking him to kneel in front of him and have himself slapped by him! Whatthe???
I don't know him personally, but the video speaks for itself (since the surveillance camera has no sound) watch and be amazed how one human being (this particular one) could do such a thing.
I searched the net for it and found this:
Here is a first hand account of an eyewitness who was at Duty Free at that particular time:
Last March 13, 2009—or Friday the 13th—we went with our Tatay Rey (who just arrived from Abu Dhabi as OFW a day before) to Duty Free Philippines Fiesta Mall in ParaƱaque to shop and point. Or we point and he’ll buy…hehehe:)
While waiting in line at the cashiers to pay our goodies…we saw a customer at the top of his voice berating the cashiers and managers of Duty Free... From what my sister told me, it was about a credit card purchase that the cashier was kindly asking for the irate customer's ID to vouch for the legit owner of the credit card which was also “unsigned”—a normal operating procedure to avoid misuse.
He might have thought a celebrated person like he is with all his accolades and fame had gone unrecognized by this cashier person who was doing the job he was trained to do. Tsk tsk tsk…
While Store Managers and officers were sought to appease the matter, explaining to him that it is standard operating procedure in credit card safety, not only for the company but also his own.
Ignoring this, he pulled out his phone and threatened to call high positioned people whom he allegedly knew, to make these people realize how important he is.. he went on using words like “LECHE KAYO, DI NYO KO KILALA? AKO SI BOYET FAJARDO! AT ITONG P..I.. NA BABAENG ITO, (pointing to a lady officer) AT ANG BAKLANG ITO (pointing to the cashier) AY WALANG KWENTANG MGA TAO! I WANT THEM FIRED!!!
His yelling and berating went on and on, he could not calm down and went on to say, that only if the cashier would kneel down before him and/or allow him to freely slap the persons face, would he get satisfied.
AND, you know what happened next...the poor cashier simply gave in, crying in shame. He knelt down and apologized before this self proclaimed GOD….
==============
The Union of Duty Free Philippines have filed a case against him as i write this.
I watched him on the news last night apologizing (if that's what you call it) and making excuses for his actions ... saying he was too tired from a long flight, had not eaten, etc ..... but from where i stand his actions were atrocious and beastly ... i think his apologies (half heartedly said, as he said he too was a victim) will fall on deaf ears ... understandable. Duh!?
