Even at the height of his popularity, TA the miser knew no bounds that even friends were aghast – like when he would shamelessly ask for discounts at fast food restaurants even when fans and customers craned their necks to catch a glimpse of him. Sometimes these fans made him feel ill at ease that he would want to get out of the restaurant asap, yet could not because he would still want to wait for his loose change.
Even his kids are supposedly not spared from his tight fists. Before TA buys them anything, he would seem to count like more than a hundred times before he gives in, because he said that by doing so, the chances that he will regret the purchase are nil.
A source said that TA went to a gadget store in a high-end mall to buy himself a pricey cellphone unit. Just before the warranty expired , TA went back to the store to say that there was something wrong with the phone.
The Head of the Store HS happily assisted TA. After checking on the phone, TA was told that it would be fixed and he was given a turnaround time to claim it back. However TA requested if it was possible for HS to be the one to deliver the gadget to his house, then gave HS his address. HS was hesitant at first but realized that TA's house was within his route on his way home so he agreed. Days after, HS delivered the phone to TA. He was overwhelmed by TA's big and beautiful abode.
TA looked and inspected the phone and looked satisfied. Soon after, HS had the shock of his life when TA handed him 20 pesos for fare on his way home.
HS was in utter disbelief that he could not contain himself - till the morning after.
