Famous Vendor Diwata Sells His First ‘Pares’ Pot to Boss Toyo
DIWATA – The famous Pares vendor, Diwata, has sold the first pot he used to cook ‘Pares’ to Boss Toyo for P3,000.
Deo Balbuena, popularly known as Diwata, is a Pares vendor who gained fame for his Pares overload business. His 24-hour Pares business has been a great success and numerous content creators have been featuring him in their vlogs.
Recently, social media vlogger Jayson Luzadas shared a video of Diwata selling the first pot he used at his Paresan. The post quickly circulated online and garnered various reactions from the internet users.
In the video, Diwata is seen visiting the shop of Pinoy Pawstar to sell one of his items. He brought the first pot he used to cook Pares at his Paresan to sell it.
Balbuena shared that his Pares business started in 2020 on Roxas Boulevard, where he was one of the illegal vendors. Before becoming a Pares vendor, he had worked as a beautician, construction worker, and scavenger.
Boss Toyo, who has experience with Pares businesses, inspected the pot and noticed it had a hole. Diwata revealed that he bought the pot in Pasay City.
Negotiations began with Diwata asking for P3,500, but Luzadas countered with P2,500. Diwata joked that he would include his slippers as a freebie. Finally, they agreed on P3,000.
Boss Toyo plans to display the pot in his museum, where visitors can learn the story behind each item by scanning a QR code.
“Yung buhay niya galing sa hirap, umangat ‘yung buhay. Yun ang ginagawa ni Pinoy Pawnstars, ang maipaalala sa lahat ng henerasyon at mananatili tayong institusyon,” Luzadas said.
A few days ago, Mystica criticizes Diwata: “dugyot na ugali, dugyot na pagmumukha at dugyot na paresan!”
