The point guard for the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Tigers, Albert Bordeos stunned everyone after he was recognized working as a meat butcher at the public market!
Several netizens were shocked that this young athlete was seen working at the public market, but he fascinated everyone when he revealed that he’s been doing this for a long time. Wow!
It all began when Bordeos was photographed selling meat at a public market in Pasig City. He was just doing what meat merchants usually do when someone recognized him there and verified his identity.
The photo went viral, but Bordeos had no idea! The family was just shocked and somewhat pleased that their meat sold out immediately that day. The viral photo helped a lot!
Since this is their family business, Bordeos has been supporting out since he was still a kid. Even when he became a player, the young man did not change or let fame go to his head. With his feet firmly established on the ground, he stayed to help out at the public market stall whenever he could.
“There is nothing to be ashamed of because this is the source of income of my parents. They sacrifice sleep every night just to support me and my siblings. When I don’t have training at UST or during off season, I go home to Pasig to help them,” Bordeos revealed.
“On the day (the photo went viral), it was like we hit the jackpot. All our meats were sold. When I opened my social media account in the morning, I was surprised to see so many messages from people looking for me.”
Everyone is amazed that this young man continued to be humble and that he’s supporting his parents at their business so they can also relax a bit. Kudos, Albert Bordeos!
