Umapela sa mga kaibigan at followers ang aktor na si Ping Medina para sa tinawag nitong "birthday donations" matapos magkaproblema sa pinansiyal dahil sa pagiging sabong agent noong nakaraang buwan.

Sa Instagram post, inilagay ni Ping ang kaniyang bank at GCash details, at ipinaliwanag kung bakit kinapos siya sa pera.

"MY WEIRD BIRTHDAY POST. Friends, I need a huge favor," panimula ng aktor.

"See, I tried being a sabong agent last month. My master agent asked me for money to keep our account going," saad niya.

"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," patuloy niya.

Sabi ni Ping, "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," ayon pa sa aktor.

Sinabi ni Ping na maayos naman ang lahat sa kaniya mula nang magkaroon ng pandemya pero nagkasunod-sunod ang kamalasan ngayong taon.

"The second ECQ killed physical store sales at Bulilith Smoked Sausages," aniya.

"Customer traffic is starting to normalize but there were 3 months of people not wanting to go out," dagdag ni Ping.

Kailangan daw niya ng dagdag na pagkakakitaan at doon na siya napasok sa sabong.

"Unfortunately, sabong found me. I never gambled before in my life so I didn't know the effect it has on people," ayon kay Ping.

"Sadly, I've come to witness that it is truly an addiction preying on weak minds," pag-amin niya.

Sabi pa ni Ping, "thing is, I don't want to borrow money. I'd rather lose everything then move to Sagada to plant crops."

Patuloy niya, "totally ready to fulfill my life-long dream of being a meditating forest hermit."

"I'm gonna do that I want to be sure I've exhausted all possible means to keep up this lifestyle," sabi ni Ping.

Handa raw ang aktor na bitawan ang kaniyang "lifestyle."

"I can let go of all this. Lifestyle is not important. Life is," pahayag niya.

"So now, I'm publicly begging for birthday donations. For me. Doesn't matter if it's 1 or 1000 pesos," sabi pa ni Ping.

Sabi ng aktor sa kaniyang mga follower at tutulong sa kaniya, "please know that you extending a helping hand is the most important gesture here."

"Today, I am relying on your kindness," dagdag ni Ping.

Inihayag din ng aktor na plano sana niyang magsagawa ng community pantry mula sa kikitain niya sa sabong pero..."Alas! Lol. If ever there are excess donations I would gladly use it for that!" pagtatapos niya. – FRG, GMA News
