Hundreds of people are calling for the boycott of the labels of Angelino ‘Boyet’ Fajardo, a Filipino fashion designer who reportedly caused a scene at the Duty Free Philippines Fiesta Mall in Parañaque City last March 13, 2009.
The online petition titled “Please Boycott Boyet Fajardo RTW Labels” already has more than 600 signatures.
It aims “to give him a lesson and to help us stop him from victimizing the underprivileged over and over and over again,” read the petition.
On that Friday the 13th, Fajardo, a known ready-to-wear (RTW) designer, berated a Duty Free cashier and some managers.
Credit card
Eyewitness reports say the fuss was about Fajardo’s credit card.
As a standard operating procedure (SOP), the cashier asked Fajardo to present an I.D. to vouch that he owns the unsigned credit card he presented at the counter.
This, however, made Fajardo furious.
Store managers came to the scene and explained to him that the SOP is meant to protect not only their company but his safety as well.
Fajardo allegedly ignored the explanations. He even brought out his mobile phone and threatened to call people with high positions whom he knew.
Forced to kneel
He also reportedly uttered cuss words and got angry because the Duty Free people did not know him.
The petition claims that Fajardo said this: “”Mga leche kayo! Hindi niyo ako kilala? Ako si Boyet Fajardo! At itong p…ina na babaeng ito (pointing to a lady officer) at ang baklang ito (pointing to the cashier) ay walang kwentang mga tao! I want them fired!!!”
Fajardo was said to be unstoppable as he continued his yelling and scolding until he said he would be satisfied only if the cashier kneels down before him and/or allow him to slap the cashier’s face.
The cashier, who is said to be a casual employee, knelt down with tears in his eyes and apologized to Fajardo. The fashion designer did not slap the cashier.
Duty Free Management has already formed a committee that will formulate general procedures and guidelines in handling customers like Fajardo.
Fajardo fashion line
Fajardo has been in the fashion industry for 20 years. His labels “Boyet Fajardo,” “Initials,” and “Substance” are carried by major shopping malls.
Aside from calling for the boycott of Fajardo’s fashion lines, the online petition also urged SM, Landmark and Robinson’s to pull out Fajardo’s products.
The petition even called on the Fashion Designers Association of the Philippines to dishonor him of his membership and profession, and asked foreign embassies to deny him entry to their respective countries.
