Never heard that name before... Why does a designer think that he should be
known like an actor, rockstar or politician?

> Last March 13, 2009, Filipino Fashion Designer Angelino Boyet Fajardo created
a scene, to the shock and horror of shoppers and employees of Duty Free
Philippines alike, when a cashier politely asked for his ID after presenting his
unsigned credit card. This is a standard operating procedure applicable to all
stores to verify ownership of the credit card and prevent fraud.

started berating the cashiers and managers of Duty Free Philippines. He might
have thought a celebrated person like he is, with all his accolades and fame,
has gone unrecognized by the cashier. A new well-trained casual worker who is
carefully doing his job. The designer further shocked bystanders by cursing the
people there with words such as leche and p...ina, while angrily expressing
surprise why the people there did not recognize him.

him that it is all included as a standard operating procedure in credit card
payment for the safety, not only for the company but also his own. Ignoring all
this, he pulled out his phone and threatened to call on high positioned
government officials whom he allegedly knew, like doing a power-play to make
these people realize how important he is. He went on saying "Mga leche kayo!
Hindi niyo ako kilala? Ako si Boyet Fajardo! At itong p...ina na babaeng ito
(pointing to a lady officer) at ang baklang ito (pointing to the cashier) ay
walang kwentang mga tao! I want them fired!!!"

> His yelling and berating went on and on. He cannot calm down and as he
appeared to have bloodshot eyes, like that of a drunk person and or under an
influence. He threw his passport on the cashier's face and later intentionally
stepped on the cashier's foot to say "Ay sorry, di ko sinasadya!" He goes on to
say, that only if the cashier kneel down before him and/or allow him to freely
slap the cashier's face, may he get satisfied.

> The ill-fated cashier, with all the onlookers watching, stand down and just
simply gave in to probably he thought would end the matter. Crying in shame he
slowly knelt down and apologize (for actually doing his job) before this self
proclaimed GOD, perhaps for fear of losing his job. No slapping was made to the
cashier's face but the incident landed a harsher and reverberating sound to the
faces of the lesser people of this society.
