Racing Queen Gaby dela Merced enjoys showbiz

July 8, 2008

GABY DELA Merced was the third big winner in the last PBB Celebrity Edition. Does she still get in touch with her batchmates? “Oh yes, just the other day, I was with Victor Basa,” she says. “I also still communicate with the other housemates, like our big winner, Ruben from Davao who now owns a Goodah branch sa corner ng Ortigas and Santolan. He also lives there now.”

What’s her most memorable experience in PBB? “I learned a lot in my stay there. I used to take a lot of things for granted, but in my conversations with Mommy Yayo Aguila, I realized I’m just too busy with a lot of stuff so I learned that it’s not nice to grab everything but be more focused on your own direction in life.”

The fourth of six kids of a family that owns the Guadalupe Commercial Center and the Delta Bldg., she can just take it easy in her chosen sport, racing.
