In his social media post, he recounted how cockfighting consumed his money. He also said that his business was severely affected due to the pandemic in the country.
“See, I tried being a sabong agent last month. My master agent asked me for money to keep our account going. I also had a player who would spend 10k a day so when she asked for an advance I thought she was good for it. They both haven’t paid me. Exact amount is 36k. That’s my business’ rent money and 2 months amortized rent for my condo this coming Aug 1. I don’t know when they will pay."
His situation was further aggravated by his obsession with cockfighting, which allegedly took away his remaining wealth.
According to him, he will farm in the mountain of Sagada if he can no longer recover from his financial problem.
“Thing is, I don’t want to borrow money. I’d rather lose everything then move to Sagada to plant crops. I’m totally ready to fulfill my life-long dream of being a meditating forest hermit. Lol. But if I’m gonna do that I want to be sure I’ve exhausted all possible means to keep up this lifestyle. I can let go of all this. Lifestyle is not important. Life is.”
It was in this part that Ping asked for donations from his fans and said that he would accept no matter how much.
“If we’re both in need, you can greet me in the comments instead! I was planning to do a community pantry from my sabong earnings but alas. Lol. If ever there are excess donations I would gladly use it for that!” he added.
Ping is the son of veteran actor Pen Medina.
