hello peeps, this is my first post. madalas ako magbasa ng threads in the goon squad hq but never thought that i'd be posting with an incident myself.

just this afternoon while on my way home from work, i passed through tiendesitas to get from julia vargas to ortigas avenue. there was some construction work being done at the ortigas gate and only one lane could be used. ako yung nasa unahan palabas ng ortigas and there was this maroon nissan patrol with plate number VBW547 na papasok naman sa tiendesitas from ortigas avenue. we were both stopped, waiting for the guard's signal para dumaan. so sumenyas yung guard sa akin then nakita ko yung patrol na umabante din. i didn't want any trouble so prumeno ako enough para makadaan itong si patrol. apparently, the driver didn't like idea so he gave me the finger. naburat ako so hinabol ko yung patrol. he stopped at a construction site and even tried to sideswipe my car. then lumabas sya at hinamon ako ng sapakan.

i sensed that he was probably the contractor for that site and that the construction workers there were his people kaya i didn't step down. instead, i talked to him asking why he gave me the finger. sabi nya i deserve it daw kasi people like me deserve to get that treatment daw. so i told him na sinenyasan ako nung guard para pumasok and i dont understand what i did wrong. apparently, sinenyasan din daw sya nung guard para pumasok. so in that case, i told him, pareho tayong sinensyasan so why did he have to give me the finger. he insists that i deserve it.

aalis na sana ako but i couldn't leave without trying. bumaba ako ng sasakyan and asked him politely, sabi ko 'pare, i think you owe me an apology'. he simply said i don't think so, i think you deserve it. gusto ko na talaga upakan right there and then kaso since malapit na kasal ko, nagpigil na lang ako. this guy was wearing a padi's point shirt so i figured he must be an employee.

now i get home and call the office of padi's point asking kung sino yung driver nun nissan patrol with plate number VBW547. the person on the other line tells me that it was vince padilla, president of padi's point philippines. damn civilized action for a president ha? so i now make complaints here and there, sa ortigas realty development office, sa frontera verde admin as well as sa padi's point, even if he was the president. i told them that i'll make sure that i'll inform all my friends about the incident and tell them not to patronize padi's point as well as the fun ranch they are currently constructing inside frontera verde.

i took and pic of his plate number and he took a pic of mine in return. i am just so frustrated. i regret not having to get a pic of him. i'm quite certain na walang mangyayari sa complaint ko because this guy is a bigshot. pero may araw din itong vince padilla na ito. maybe not now, pero darating din yan.
