Padi's Point President gave me the finger

[Driv3er]

respond lang ako kay M54...for good sisig, try the restos sa tabign riles dun sa may pampanga near clark airbase. Masarap din yung sisig sa Grilla

[lma1911]

Ito na ba ang next venue ng EB? [pero walang magbabayad pagkatapos]

Sir, Kelan EB sa PADI attend sana ko...Vince? mag papainom ka raw? He he. meanwhile di muna ako punta dyan, dito muna ko sa Dampa.

[CLAVEL3699]

Hmmm...he says, she says...

I bet if that Vince Padilla were a forumer, he would tell & post his story (from his POV), and other people would have sympathized with him also...

I'm just glad that the ending wasn't violent. I would just let it pass and call it a day. Mahirap na kasi pag may bumaba na sa sasakyan at mayroong naghahamon ng away, a lot of unsavory things could happen. I won't let an outstretched middle finger ruin my day, life is too beautiful for that sort of thing

kaya tama... hintayin natin post ni vince.

kung magkakainteres sya na magpost dito.

When we were into air soft we tried playing paintball in Antipolo. Vince's group was excited kasi bagong salta kami d nila alam bagong lipat lang. May baon na mga basang towel to wipe off the paint pag tinamaan cla bugbog naman cla . O cge Vince d ba true hahaha.

[Driv3er]

so zombie pala si Vince Padilla? What a loser. Larong bata na nga, asal bata pa rin. Di yan pwede mag airsoft, rinaratrat ng 500fps ang mga zombie tulad niya.

[torque2006]

this topic is really becoming interesting. wehehehe. lurk mode muna ako

[ts1n1ta]

kaya tama... hintayin natin post ni vince.

Member pala sha ng tsikot?

[the_wildthing]

I don't think I can symphatize with the person who gives the finger in this case. Hmmm... Come to think of it, it can never be justified. Or at least, that's what my wife says.

[kiper]

If it's any consolation, hindi naman masarap ang food sa Padi's Point at panget ang service.

Yung Padi's Point dito sa amin at dun sa Caloocan kilala lang as tambayan ng mga p*k-p*k.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding.

I have a confession. I'm now 22 years old.. and never in my life na nakapasok ako sa PADI's Point.. Hindi ko alam kung bakit..hehehe Parang may nagasasabi sa akin na sayang lang ang pagpunta ko sa loob.


Kahit saang padi's point naman yata.. madaming Ssshhhh na tambay.. Mga Professional sshhh.. hindi mga pang-one night stand.. Naniningil pagkatapos..hehehe

Huwag ka mag-alala, pupunta tayo doon one of these days. Pupunta lang, ha. Hindi tayo oorder.

[Driv3er]

come to think of it, sumikat lang naman Padi's dahil sa paintball and dahil sa comic strips ng Pugad Baboy.

I have never heard anything good about their food.

[jonski]

Subject: Complaint against Mr. Vince Padilla

December 7, 2006



Ms. **********
Real Estate Division Head
Ortigas & Company Limited Partnership

Dear Ms. **********,

It is with regret that I bring to your attention an incident involving one of your tenants, Mr. Vince Padilla of Padi’s Point, Inc. I unfortunately crossed paths with Mr. Padilla last Tuesday at around 4:00p.m. of December 5, 2006 after dropping by Tiendesitas to make some purchases.

I was aboard my car about to exit the Ortigas gate of Frontera Verde when my lane was halted by the guard on duty because a construction vehicle which had been moving some construction materials was in the middle of the road. The same was done to the opposite lane just before the entrance of the same gate.

A couple of seconds later, after the construction vehicle had moved to the side of the road, the guard on duty waved at me to proceed. As I did, I noticed the opposite lane moving towards the entrance at the same time. Since the entrance could only fit one vehicle at that time, I came to a full stop to let the vehicles from the opposite direction pass.

As the vehicles coming from Ortigas Ave. were moving past the entrance, the driver of the first passing vehicle, a color maroon Nissan Patrol with license plate no. VBW547, stuck up and waived his middle finger at me.

In case you may not know, extending the middle finger is construed as offensive and is often interpreted roughly as meaning ‘f*ck you.’ Please excuse the language but this is how it is.

In my disgust, I followed the Nissan Patrol to ask the driver for a reason why I was given the finger as in my belief, I had done nothing wrong and was in fact courteous for letting the opposite lane pass despite the guard signaling my lane to go first. More so, I was bothered by the action as I have never been signaled like so by a complete stranger and thought that I deserved an apology.

The Nissan Patrol went into a construction site just at the rear of the Frontera Verde Administration Office. The car stopped and tried to sideswipe me when I was about to park on its side. The driver alighted from the vehicle and went to the side of my car and started to taunt and challenge me to a fist fight. I figured that this person was somehow in charge of the construction and was in control of the numerous construction laborers in the area who were, at that time, watching the discussion the driver of the Nissan Patrol and I were having.

I opened my car door asked the driver of the Nissan Patrol what I did for him to give me the finger. He said that ‘people like me deserve that kind of shit’. I explained to him that I was signaled by the guard to move. Apparently, Mr. Padilla’s lane was also signaled by the guard to move, as was accounted for by him. But even so, I insisted that I do not think that I deserved to be given such a derogatory gesture. I politely asked for an apology but apparently this person had too much of an ego to apologize to what I would subsequently discover as a regular customer at their Padi’s Point Antipolo Branch. I left in dismay right after taking a picture of the plate number of his car for reference. I figured that the vehicle may have been connected with Padi’s Point, Inc. because the driver was wearing a gray polo shirt with an embroidery of the Padi’s Point Logo.

When I reached home, I tried to contact the head office of Padi’s Point, Inc. to check if they owned the Nissan Patrol and to verify the identity of the person driving in the hopes that a company driver was the one driving the said vehicle. To my dismay, Padi’s Point, Inc. HR Officer Laarni Catayona confirmed to me that the person driving the vehicle is Mr. Vince Padilla who is not a company driver but is instead the head of the company.

I am appalled and deeply bothered by this incident. I am a very reasonable person and think that I do not deserve such a derogatory gesture from anyone, more so Mr. Vince Padilla, whom I had not offended in any way. I believe that no company in the right mind would tolerate such an action, in this case from your tenant against one of your patrons.

I am, or should I say was, a repeated customer at Padi’s Point Antipolo since I was in college. Some friends and I usually have a couple of cold drinks at Padi’s after golf practice at Valley Golf and Country Club in Antipolo. The deed displayed by Mr. Padilla is no where close to civil nor diplomatic, nor does it reflect the values you would expect from an executive of a well known brand. I did not graduate from AIM, like Mr. Padilla did, but my parents and educators had taught me well to give respect to everyone, even those who may have done me wrong. Mr. Padilla probably forgot that it is possible that one of the people he comes across with is someone who puts money in his pocket. Never again will I patronize any of the businesses run and affiliated with Mr. Vince Padilla, including the Fun Ranch currently being constructed at the Frontera Verde premises. I will make sure that my family and friends as well as the public learns about this incident so they too will find out about the true character of this person.

I request a reply from you soonest for an advise of your position on the matter on hand so I can inform my family and friends as well as the public.

Thanks and best regards.

[SIZE=2]Dear Mr. **********:[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]My secretary forwarded your email to me.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I sincerely regret the incident between you and one of our locators at Frontera Verde. I agree that what happened was uncalled for, and definitely does not fit into our concept for Frontera Verde to be a wholesome place for the family. I have already requested to meet with Mr. Padilla to discuss this incident. I will give you feedback right after we’ve talked.[/SIZE]
