‘Alvin Flores wanted to look like BB Gandanghari’
By JAM SISANTE, GMANews.TV
Notorious gang leader Alvin Flores wanted to look like showbiz personality BB Gandanghari, the doctor who performed cosmetic surgery on the face of the man suspected to have led the Greenbelt 5 robbery last month said on Monday. In an interview with GMA News' Arnold Clavio, Dr. Dominador Pedracio said Flores claimed to be gay and requested changes in his face so he could look more womanly.

Pedracio, whom the NBI has cleared of involvement as Flores pretended to be one "JC Chavez," said the gang leader specifically said he wanted to look like BB Gandanghari (formerly known as Rustom Padilla). "Wala naman pong nasabing idolo pero ayun po dun sa kanyang ipinahayag na kahilingan, kung pwede ho daw siyang pwedeng gawing Gandanghari (He did not cite a specific idol, but he said he wanted to look like Gandanghari)," Pedracio said. "Sabi ko sa kanya, 'JC ang bawat isa sa atin merong tinatawag na uniqueness. Hindi ako isang magician; this particular person might inspire you pero hindi ko magagawa yun' (I told him, 'JC, each person is unique. I am not a magician; this particular person might inspire you, but I cannot do that)," added the doctor. Pedracio said he only found out that his patient was a gang leader named Alvin Flores when he saw Flores' picture in the newspapers upon his arrival from abroad. The doctor was then contacted by the NBI and was asked to verify if the slain suspect was indeed the patient he performed cosmetic surgery on. Pedracio said he has suggested that the NBI coordinate with the Department of Health and medical associations regarding suspects on the loose so they would be aware if their patients are wanted by authorities. - GMANews.TV
