‘Wish Ko Lang’ grants fisher’s wish

The afternoon show of GMA channel 7, “Wish Ko Lang” brought surprises to Marco Paghubasan, a technical student of Bataan School of Fisheries (BSF), Sept. 24.

Marco, also known as Mackoy, 30, resides in Capunitan Orion, Bataan and currently taking Dress Making Course at BSF was surprised by the staff of “Wish Ko Lang” when he was called to grant him the presents and his story was aired Sept. 26.

At first, he had no idea that the interviews conducted are for the said show because the questions that were usually asked were all about his physical features.

He explained that his condition is not ordinary because he had a growth hormone deficiency that’s why he looks younger than his actual age.

Aside from his height, many people are also confused with his gender. He looks like a woman and his voice sound like that of a young girl.

Meanwhile, at the conference room, the staff of the show prepared the gifts which include high speed sewing machine, edging machine, different types of fabrics, threads, machine needle, shears, trimmer, tape measure, materials for making rags, and a magnifying glass.

The magnifying glass was used by Mackoy to trace the continuation of their surprises and he was asked to read something in the paper which told him to go to “Lord Be”, a tailoring shop located in Orion Public Market; where he was first asked to sew something.

After sewing, he was given a certificate of employment by the owner of “Lord Be” that at anytime he wants to work there he will be hired.

Moreover, the family of Mackoy was invited to go near the shore of Lusungan and there they were given one motor boat which could be used by his father in fishing since this is the occupation of the latter.
