I am happy to be back in Manila. There is really no place like home. When I was in Europe, a friend of mine from Laoag sent me a text message regarding a story she received from Twitter about the problem of The Actor's Assistant.  Yesterday, this friend of mine updated me through a text message informing me that the problem of the PA has finally been solved. After hearing the good news, I got in touch with source of the story and this was the message I received. 

Dear Fashion PULIS, 

I would just like to express our deepest gratitude to you. If not for the blind item entitled The Actor's Assistant you posted in your blog, the personal assistant (PA) of the actor wouldn't have gotten out of the hospital. Your blog site (which I check daily) is not only entertaining, it also helps voiceless people. I have introduced your blog to my friends and now they are hooked like me. Congratulations! In a short span of time you gained a considerable number of followers. More power to your blog and may you continue to help other people. 

Sincerely,
F.A.R.

After receiving her message, I asked her a few questions to clarify some of the comments that our readers have posted.

Q: There was a reader who said that the actor does not have a PA. Is he the driver?
A: RIGHT HAND MAN may be the more appropriate term. He takes care of actor's money. Apparently, he helps the actor collect money from well-known people and deposit the money. Sometimes, he drives for the actor but he is definitely not the driver, more of  a "KATIWALA".  He is also acts as the liaison officer for his other businesses. In fact, this actor has 2 right hand men. The one in the story is A and the other is J. It is not true that A received a house from the actor as your reader has commented. He used to live in the house of the actor.

Q: Who was the one who gave the cash to the PA's family? Do you know how much was given?
A: The wife, on behalf of the actor, was the one who gave the money to the family members. She gave 50% of the amount and even helped the family members obtain the other 50% from charitable institutions. Kudos to them!

Q: How is the condition of the PA? 

A: Unfortunately, it is Stage 4 Colon Cancer. In fairness to the doctors in the said hospital where he was transferred to, they did not charge the PA's family right and left thinking that the actor will be the one to shoulder the expenses. The doctors just performed an operation that was really necessary and did not do other expensive invasive procedures since the PA's family informed them that they are under financial constraint.
