He's supposed to be this ex-BIR guy who now works at Customs. He used to constantly call our accounting people to remind them about due dates of this and that tax.
One day, tumawag siya to offer Acer laptops at only P15,000 per unit. There were only 7 units left and tipong now or never ang offer.
Two of my officemates kumagat sa deal. One of them went to the pier this morning to get the laptops. Atty. Torralba, or so she thought(first time for her to meet him in person), met her sa may gate. He got the P30,000 cold cash pero hindi pinapasok officemate ko kasi only authorized people are allowed to enter daw. My officemate waited... and waited... and waited... as the supposed Atty. Torralba handled the processing of documents.
Eh ang tagal. So, my officemate tried to ask for him from the guard. It turns out -- WALA PALANG ATTY. TORRALBA NA NAGTATRABAHO SA CUSTOMS! Ganun?!
Goodbye P30,000. Wishing na lang for bad karma to befall on Atty. Torralba. At matuto na lang sa age-old moral lesson na 'to: If it's too good to be true... IT IS!
