"Last Tuesday, May 17, before going to Suzuki, Tatay Manuel went to a Showroom, however, he said he wasn't allowed to get in maybe because of his outward appearance, wearing very old and stained clothes, dilapidated and holed shoes, and dirty mask.
"He walked into our Showroom at Lanang but we didn't hesitate to let him in and entertained him, asking what unit he wants to inquire about, he said he wants to buy a unit.
"After presenting our displayed cars he decided to buy the S-presso he said he'll pay it in cash, but, he will go back the next day because he didn't bring his money with him being afraid to bring the cash while riding a bus and a jeepney.
"Indeed, the next day he came back and my Sales Executive accompanied him at home to get the full payment using the car of our branch head.
"The following day we released his unit," said Dorego.
