Rain or Shine Elasto Painters guard Adrian Nocum admitted that he had ridden a jeepney without paying the fare during his college years.
The 27-year-old PBA player made the revelation during an appearance on Sports Confidential on DWAR Abante Radyo, where he readily answered “Ay oo!” and “guilty” when asked if he had ever taken a jeepney ride without paying.
Nocum said the incident happened while he was studying at Universidad de Manila, recalling that he had resorted to the practice locally known as “1-2-3,” a slang term for evading public transportation fares.
He even joked about making up for it by paying a driver despite not taking a ride.
“Minsan nga naisip ko eh, paano kaya magbayad ako tapos hindi ako sasakay ‘no, pambawi lang,” Nocum said.
Sports Confidential airs every Friday from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. on DWAR Abante Radyo 1494 and through Abante’s Facebook page and YouTube channel. (Adrian Co)
