NAGMAMAKAAWA NA? Ping Medina, nanghingi ng pera sa mga netizens para sa kanyang kaarawan: “Unfortunately, Sabong found me”

Humihingi ng pinansyal na tulong ang aktor na si Ping Medina sa kanyang mga fans sa social media dahil diumano’y nasimot na ang kanyang pera dahil sa paglalaro ng ‘sabong’.

Sa kanyang post sa social media ay ikinuwento niya kung paano inubos ng sabong ang kanyang pera.

Naapektuhan din daw ng lubos ang kanyang negosyo dahil sa nangyayaring pandemya sa bansa.

“See, I tried being a sabong agent last month. My master agent asked me for money to keep our account going. I also had a player who would spend 10k a day so when she asked for an advance I thought she was good for it. They both haven’t paid me. Exact amount is 36k.

That’s my business’ rent money and 2 months amortized rent for my condo this coming Aug 1. I don’t know when they will pay.

Lalo pang nakalala ng sitwasyon niya ang pagkahumaling niya sa sabong na sumimot pa daw ng natitira niyang kayamanan.

“I needed another source of income. Unfortunately, sabong found me. I never gambled before in my life so I didn’t know the effect it has on people. Sadly, I’ve come to witness that it is truly an addiction preying on weak minds.” 

Ayon naman sa kanya ay magsasaka nalang siya sa kabundukan ng Sagada kung hindi na siya makakabangon sa kanyang problemang pinansiyal.

“Thing is, I don’t want to borrow money. I’d rather lose everything then move to Sagada to plant crops. I’m totally ready to fulfill my life-long dream of being a meditating forest hermit. Lol. But if I’m gonna do that I want to be sure I’ve exhausted all possible means to keep up this lifestyle. I can let go of all this. Lifestyle is not important. Life is.”

Dito na humingi ng donasyon si Ping sa kanyang mga fans at sinabi niya na kahit magkano naman daw ay tatanggapin niya.

“So now, I’m publicly begging for birthday donations. For me. Doesn’t matter if it’s 1 or 1000 pesos. Please know that you extending a helping hand is the most important gesture here. Today, I am relying on your kindness.” pakiusap ni Ping.

“If we’re both in need, you can greet me in the comments instead! I was planning to do a community pantry from my sabong earnings but alas. Lol. If ever there are excess donations I would gladly use it for that!” dagdag niya pa.

Si Ping ay anak ng beteranong aktor na si Pen Medina.
