Benjamin Alves’ weird first job

The Kapuso actor, who is currently seen in the afternoon series Dading, was recently a guest on the web show Pep Talk and asked about his first job, he told host Rachelle that back in Guam, after school, he was supposed to join the Marines already, but he had other plans and wanted to pursue them. So what happened was that he went to the Philippines for a vacation and when flew back to Guam he was able to work at Macy’s folding clothes. He wasn’t even allowed to sell stuff.

He was hired to fold clothes – wearing an apron – the whole day, especially during sales. “Lahat natupi ko na,” he said.

Before long, however, he was promoted to sales associate. He stayed there for a year.

Good thing he ended up flying back to the Philippines because in all fairness, he is a talented actor.

And let’s face it. He looks perfect (have you seen the Cosmo Bachelors video already???). that’s always a good thing.
