Alvin Patrimonio, San Mig Coffee give warm welcome to honest airport worker



PBA/Nuki Sabio
Ronald Gadayan grew up watching Alvin Patrimonio star for the Purefoods franchise.
A building attendant at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Gadayan was in the headlines a couple of months ago after returning cash and other valuables worth P1.8 million.
“Ang turo po ng aking magulang ay wag kunin ang bagay na hindi sa iyo. Lumaki po akong naghihikahos, pero kailan man hindi ko pinag-interesan ang mga bagay na napupulot ko sa trabaho,” said Gadayan then.
On Friday, Gadayan got a bit of a reward for his honesty as the San Mig Coffee Mixers welcomed him and his family to the SMART-Araneta Coliseum with a courtside seat for their match against the Air 21 Express.
Gadayan even met his childhood hero, Alvin Patrimonio, who now serves as the Mixers’ team manager.
“He’s my hero,” Patrimonio told InterAKTV in an exclusive interview. “What he did was a good virtue. It’s nice to see have someone like him, who fortunately is a diehard fan of Purefoods/San Mig Coffee. We’re honored to have him.”
San Mig Coffee team executive Rene Pardo said the small gesture from the team was a no-brainer to honor the honest man.
“I told him na bihira na yang mga ganyang tao ngayon. Masaya ako to have him and we’re also proud to have a die-hard fan like him. He’s a modern day hero,” said Pardo.
