Boss Toyo, known as the Pinoy Pawnstar, shared that the expensive item he's ever purchased--a ₱1 million piece--came from Billy Crawford. Curious what it is?
In Friday's episode of the GMA show Unang Hirit, host Lyn Ching asked Boss Toyo about the most expensive item he has ever purchased.
According to Boss Toyo, it was just two weeks ago when he bought Billy Crawford's double platinum award--for singing the theme song of the very first Pokémon movie--for ₱1 million.
In the same interview, Boss Toyo also revealed that if he had to save something from his collection in the event of an earthquake, it would be the polo worn by the late Francis Magalona in the "Bagsakan" music video, and the jersey Francis gave to someone special.
Boss Toyo was also asked: if he were the one selling, which item would he choose to sell--and for how much?
"Siguro polo shirt [ko] na sira-sira. Kasi 'yon yung [suot ko nung] nasaksak ako before, may blood stain," ayon kay Boss Toyo, na itinago niya ang naturang polo pero hindi pa niya nahahanap kung saan niya nailagay.
"Kapag nakita ko 'yon, ibebenta ko talaga yon," according to Boss Toyo at P500,000.
Boss Toyo, whose real name is Jayson Luzadas, also explained that he earned the nickname "Boss Toyo" because he used to hangout regularly on the streets.
In a past episode of Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho, Boss Toyo shared that he was adopted and had a dark past--he used to be rebellious, got into drugs, snatched from people, and often picked fights.
He reportedly became addicted to illegal drugs, sold belongings, stole, and learned to rob in order to fund his addiction.
Boss Toyo also became a troublemaker, getting stabbed several times and never finishing his studies.
But he said the change in his life started when he got dengue, which nearly cost him his life.
When he recovered, someone offered him a job as a delivery boy, and that's when he said he learned to value money, he eventually settled down and married his partner, Loves Joy.
