Di ko alam kung naka inom at lasing or naka drugs ang basketbolestang ito but ang inasal niya ay hindi sa isang normal at iniidolong basketbolesta ng nakararami.
Pagtabihin niyo si Bong alvarez at Gretchen Malalad, makikita mo talagang napakalaki ni Bong Alvarez compared to Gretchen pero pinatulan parin ito ni Alvarez. So, sa opinyon ko, isa talagang basag ulo ang basketbolestang ito. Sa record ba naman ni Bong Alvarez dami na itong atraso sa mga iba't ibang tao sa loob at labas ng showbiz. Ma taxi Driver, security guard, artista, kapwa basketbolesta dami na itong naka-away.
Matagal nang wala sa laro si Bong Alvarez and siguro nagpapansin na naman ito dahil bagsak na ang career nito sa Basketball. Pero sana ay mabibigyan ng katarungan ang taxi driver na sinaktan niya at si Gretchen Malalad nang magtanda na ang basagulerong basketbolestang si Bong Alvarez.
Ex-cager mauls ABS-CBN reporter, taxi driver
ABS-CBN News - A former professional basketball player is facing criminal charges for mauling an ABS-CBN reporter and a taxi driver in Mandaluyong City Tuesday morning.
Reporter Gretchen Malalad said Paul "Bong" Alvarez pulled her hair, elbowed her in the face and neck and punched her on the forehead while she was interviewing taxi driver William Cabanlit whom Alvarez reportedly mauled. Malalad added that she also suffered scratches on her neck.
Malalad, a black belter, said she was able to hit Alvarez in the face before police could separate them. The incident was captured by ABS-CBN cameraman Larry Galinato.
“Masasabi ko lang napakabastos nitong si Bong Alvarez. Noong ayaw niyang magpakuha ni-respeto namin iyon. [Noong] papasok na kami sa pintuan dahil sa nandoon ang biktima, siya na lang ang dapat na iinterbyuhin namin, pero sinasarado niya ang pintuan ayaw niyang magpadaan. Tapos ng binuksan niya paglabas niya siniko niya ako sa mukha. Hindi ko talaga akalain (Bong Alvarez is so rude. When he declined to be interviewed, we respected his decision. But when we were about to interview his victim he was trying to stop us. When he went out of the room, he elbowed me in the face. I was caught off guard),” she said.
Alvarez was brought to the police station for mauling Cabanlit.
A radio DZMM report said an intoxicated Alvarez hailed a taxicab at Rembrandt Hotel in Quezon City around 5 a.m. Cabanlit said the former basketball star first wanted to be taken to Pasig City then changed his mind and asked that he be brought to Quiapo via Shaw Boulevard.
Cabanlit said he decided to take Boni Avenue to avoid heavy traffic but failed to inform Alvarez who had dozed off. He said Alvarez later woke up and reprimanded him for not following his instructions.
Cabanlit said he asked Alvarez to get off the taxi after receiving a tongue-lashing from the ex-cager. He said Alvarez kicked him and hit him in the face with a bottle.
Alvarez is now detained at the Mandaluyong police station. Malalad and Cabanlit filed separate complaints against him.
