She Became Her Food Taster

Surely, we are impressed by successful people, those who started out with nothing, but who struggled and hurdled life’s difficulties and come out smiling victors in the end. But more than anything, we are more astounded by people who, despite their huge success have remained humble by the trappings of fortune. Now, that is equally as impressive, if not more.

On the other side of the fence, however, are those who are drowned by the overwhelming status and new wealth at their disposal. As things go great, these people pound their chest, seek all the attention, as their lives and attitudes change overnight, too. There are a lot of these in our midst, and one of them is Bankable Star BS and the Person Handling PH her.

While BS' beginnings may not be poor by standards prior to her entry into showbiz, they were not wealthy by definition neither. It is safe to assume that the BS was neither poor nor rich. Therefore, we were flabbergasted when we heard that PH seems to display ridiculous demands in high falutin’ fashion not even the true ‘alta’ can muster.

BS was invited by old friends (who belong to the middle class) to a house party for a celebration. When BS asked PH’s permission, she was met with a half-hearted reply. PH argued that the party venue was not a ‘secured’ place, much unlike if it were in a hotel or in a gated village, to which PH would have readily agreed.

BS was persistent that she be allowed to go since they were her old friends anyway. PH eventually said yes, but on certain condition: that there should be no posting of photos on social media. BS agreed.

On the day of the party, BS was with PH and her PA (personal assistant). They were warmly welcomed by the hosts and the family treated BS with so much hospitality, like a really special guest. The hosts did not even allow BS and company go to the buffet station, instead the dishes were all served food on their table.

The hosts thought they did the right thing. Imagine their shock when they overheard PH ordering PA to be the food taster of the dishes served to confirm that it is safe for BS to eat. You bet, the hosts nearly fell off their seats.

When their “special guests” left, the hosts didn’t know what hit them. In their minds, they knew they only invited BS the celebrity and not the president or vice president of the Philippines. Thus they asked in chorus: “Where is the misplaced ego coming from?”

Maybe PH has the perfect answer.
