Time to frisk Boyet Fajardo
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.
Union files complaint
In addition, the petition called on the Commission on Human Rights, Department of Labor and Employment, and human rights and labor activists to take appropriate legal action.
The Duty Free Philippines Employees Association, meanwhile, showed ABS-CBN’s Alex Santos a copy of the video where Fajardo allegedly abused two of its members.
Susan Gonzales, one of two employees who filed a complaint, said Fajardo threw his passport on the face of cashier Marvin Fernandez.
Being the store manager, Gonzales said she intervened to try to appease Fajardo, but he also allegedly vented his ire on her. Fajardo allegedly cussed at her and called her fat.
She said Fajardo allegedly threatened to get her fired since he reportedly knows a fashion designer who is in politics. She said the dispute lasted two hours.
Fajardo then said he would only forgive Fernandez if he gets to slap the cashier and if Fernandez kneels before him, Gonzales said.
As a result of the incident, Gonzales and other union officials went to the Commission on Human Rights to file a complaint against Fajardo.
Dennis Mallari, president of the Duty Free Employees’ Association, said Fajardo violated the dignity of their members.
ABS-CBN News asked Fajardo for his side, but he declined to comment as of posting.
Fajardo said he would issue a formal statement on Tuesday regarding the incident.

I have watched the news and the video and this arrogant person was very disturbing.
Who is he? He is not God, to ask someone to kneel down at him.
This is another proof that these so called well known people, are discriminating ordinary people.
Kick his freaking ass!!!
According to his PR daw e creative outburst (as I have seen in recent comments about the incident)
Creative outburst nya ang mukha nya…Leche!
Nagyayabang pa siya na may kakilalang pulitiko..hay naku..lalamunin lang ng blogosphere ang gagong yan! hahaha!!!
Hoy boyet fajardo sino ka ba?????? napakawalang kwenta mong tao sa ginawa mo magpaluhod ng tao lintik ka!!!
grabe! Kung anong panget nya sya ring panget ng pagkatao nya, sana di sya tigilan ng mga taga duty free, pagbayarin yan ng moral dammages at ikulong! Subaybayan natin tong case na to, ikaw fajardo ang baboy! Mas masahol pa siguro!
Hoy Boyet Fajardo!
Just because you were given by God some talents and skills and born with some privileges, you can just abuse and berate people who are not of your level!
Remember the law of Karma. When you are in your vegetative state, I hope you remember how you treated your fellow human beings!
You are just like those pigs in the wild, no conscience and no compassion for their prey.
I don’t even know you existed until the fiasco you created, which just shows your NATURE. You should go back to the wild!

PROUD TO BE A REGULAR PERSON WITH AN AVERAGE BRAIN BUT GIFTED WITH A COMPASSIONATE AND LOVING HEART FOR OTHER PEOPLE.
Itong baklang boyet na ito akala niya diyos siya dinaig niya si jesus diba? pag nakita ko yan sa mall or kung saan sasabunutan ko yan kahit walang buhok.Suerte siya at dami niyang nalolokong kababayan .hoy bakla magiingat ka ha.?!
this designer sounded pathetic. he was outrageous because he believed that everyone knew him. at least that was what he thought, that he was well-known. unfortunately and fortunately, not to many. hahaha!!!
I have encountered similar situation then, I used to be an executive assistant (my first job) and just because I wrote a message on the paper that I need to fax to a client (a rich golfer), this client became so furious…imagine only because I wrote an introductory message.
Are super rich people really like this??? thou he is not known. Maybe not all but I have observed that they have the tendency to be a boyet fajardo.
Anywayz, if boyet fajardo can treat this cashier and other duty free employees this way, what more his own employees…hmmmm scary!
I beg to disagree about rich people. I know a lot of rich people who has my respect. Or maybe that’s because they’ve been properly bred by their parents. In fact, I know a lot of rich people who think of themselves as a servant/leader and have a high regard to other people as well. It’s just a pity that this Boyet Fajardo gave in to the most dangerous capital sin of all, which is “Pride”.
I hope that this incident would be a lesson to all that fame and money won’t buy you respect, well, authentic respect that is. Boyet should learn how to repent and straighten up his path because life is full of surprises.
Not only pathetic, but wow, such a lame excuse “creative outburst”? Boyet Fajardo sure did top all of our articles here in Kalokohan

Boyet Fajardo definitely need some anger management and the best chill pill we can give him so he can go back down to planet earth is to sign the petition to boycott his RTW clothing line…….
Boyet WHO???!!! damn! I don’t even know who this freakin’ faggot is until I saw it in the news! And his name “Boyet” doesn’t even sound like a designer’s name. It sounded more like a “pozo negro” service, hahahaha!!! Isa cyang baklang walang pinag-aralan, PATHETIC! Not because your rich and you can travel the world doesn’t set you above other people. May pera lang cya pero wala cyang breeding. Buti pa ung aso ko may breed cya wala. Cguro ngaun lang nagka-credit card yang baklang yan kaya he doesn’t know how to use it! stupid @#%! And remember…ang respeto hindi yan ini-impose, ini-earn yan! Don’t expect people to respect you only because you have the money, ay mali! wala nga pala cyang pera kaya creditcard ung gamit nya! okay let me rephrase. Don’t expect people to respect you only because you have a creditcard! hahahahah!!!! XD
this moron fashion designer graduated from one of the leading universities in the country. i bet the whole university is now mortified. because you, boyet fajardo, is nothing but an imbecile, fat gay. and of course you are in abject denial!!! may you rot in your pigsty!
Very disturbing ang behavior ng Boyet Fajardo na ‘yan for assaulting and humiliating those people for doing their job. Ano tingin nya sa sarili nya, diyos. Para syang langaw na nakatapak lang sa kalabaw, tingin nya mataas pa sya sa kalabaw. Ang yabang, sobra!!! I didn’t even know the guy until that incident. I know him now, oh yah he’s that famous designer(daw)who made a fool of himself and the most hated person in the Phils. Buhay ka pa sinusunog na kaluluwa mo.
Boyet Fajardo…you are a pathetic being! Who do you think you are? To cause a very disturbing outburst in public and humiliating good, honest people. Just because you’ve made something in life does not mean that you can just scream your heart out and belittle people. You are so poor…in manners, in humility and education. Wow, the nerve you have to ask someone to kneel in front of you!
And by the way,next time you apply for a credit card, have someone interpret and explain the guidelines to you. I really don’t think you have the brain to understand. And please, don’t apologize anymore. What you showed in public is really who you are as a person. You are a waste of space!!!
