"I'm sorry about this ..." She could feel her heart slowly melting as she gazed into those warm brown eyes. "Have we met before?" "Well let's see if this trick will help." He extended his hand to her. "I'm Silvanus Arellano. And you are ...?" "That's it!" she shouted. "You are Silvanus Arellano!" "Yes, I said that a while ago." "Will you go out with my cousin? She really likes you." It surprised her. But that was only for a moment because the sweet smile flashed on his lips again. "To tell you honestly, beautiful woman, it is you whom I want to go out with. In fact, I was just about to ask you."

Prologue
“O OPS! Saan ka na naman lalarga?”
Silva gazed down at the cute petite woman in front of him. He stood at six foot one. At nasa five foot one lang yata ang taas ng babae sa kanyang harap. Pero kung titingnan, parang bale-wala rito kung gaano man siya katangkad. The look of stubbornness in her eyes was very visible. Mukhang mahihirapan ang sino man na pigilan ang babae sa kung ano man ang gusto nitong gawin.
“Can I help you?” tanong niya.
“Oo naman. Matagal ka na ngang pumayag na tulungan ako, eh.”
“Ah, pasensiya na. But I don’t seem to remember you.”
“Hay, Silvanus, naman.” Napakamot pa ang babae sa ulo. “Tama pala talaga ang sinasabi ng lahat sa iyo. Isa kang dakilang makakalimutin. Ako si Donata Fontanilla. Ako ang pinakamagandang babaeng makikita mo sa tanang buhay mo, `no?”
“Ha?”
“Dunkey.”
Silva looked at the man who came up behind her. Ito ang kilala niya. “Ran. It’s been a long time, huh?”
“Oo nga.” Nagkamay silang dalawa bago nito inakbayan ang maliit na babae.
“Teka, paano kayo nagkakilala?” tanong ni Dunkey.
“Madalas kaming nagkakasama noon sa mga flying competitions around the globe. Silvanus here is also a licensed pilot.” Muli siyang binalingan ni Ran. “Pasensiya ka na sa asawa ko. Makulit lang talaga ito kapag may gustong makuha. Sinamahan ko na siya rito at baka kung ano na namang gulo ang mapasukan.”
“`Sus! Ang sabihin mo, ayaw mo lang akong mawala sa paningin mo. You’re just so in love with me you won’t admit it.”
“I admit it.”
Napapangiti na lang si Silva sa lambingan ng mag-asawa. “Ang mabuti pa, doon na lang tayo sa opisina ko mag-usap.” Agad namang sumunod ang mga ito. “So, nag-asawa ka na pala, Ran. Hindi ko yata narinig ang balitang iyon.”
“You weren’t in the country long enough to hear any news here.”
“Not really my fault. Metal business can sometime hinder the little social life I have.”
“Speaking of business, kumusta naman ang negosyo mo sa Russia?”
“Doing good. In fact, may naka-deal na nga ako rito in regards with the expansion of my business. Kilala mo rin siya. Si Lantis Nakago.”
“Ah, oo. Nabanggit nga niya sa amin iyon nang minsang magkatipon uli kami sa Marina.”
“And speaking of business, ako yata ang dapat na nagbibida-bidahan dito, ah,” singit ni Dunkey. “Bakit n’yo ako iniitsa-puwera?” Napangiti na lang ang asawa nito bilang pagbibigay sa babae. “Silvanus, may appointment tayo ngayon for an interview.”
“Talaga? Hmm, pasensiya na. Nakalimutan ko yata.” Mukhang hindi na naman nasabi ni Silva sa kanyang sekretarya ang tungkol doon kaya hindi rin siya napaalalahanan. “Okay, may spare time pa naman ako ngayong araw. We can do that interview now. Para saan nga ba iyon?”
“Para sa BBC.”
“BBC?”
“Billionaire Boys Club. In-explain ko na sa iyo iyon pero siyempre, nakalimutan mo na. Kaya uulitin ko na lang.” Dunkey leaned back against her husband’s shoulder. “Sa sobrang dami ng nagde-demand for another set of billionaire boys sa opisina ng Philippine Stats , napilitan kaming i-resurrect ang BBC. Since all the former members were already married, they’re out of the list. Our readers, composed mainly of females from all walks of life, were looking and wishing for Prince Charmings on Porsches and Ferraris. You know what I mean. And my editor in chief Pam loves everything about Philippine Stats . Since mag-uumpisa na ang international distribution ng magazine, magandang cover story ang tungkol sa Pinoy billionaires.”
“So, what’s that got to do with me?” tanong niya.
“You’re one of the new billionaire boys.”
“Talaga?” Hindi alam ni Silva kung matatawa o mapapakunot ang noo. Nang hindi makapili, pinagsabay na lang niya ang ekspresyong iyon sa mukha. “Even if I want to be your female readers’ Prince Charming, I can’t. I still have to go back to Russia and inspect my metal plant in the Arctic circle.”
“Pero babalik ka naman, hindi ba?”
“I guess. Kailangan ko pa kasing i-supervise nang husto ang mga bagong hahawak sa National Steel Corporation. Medyo hindi pa kasi nila gamay ang mga bagong equipment na nai-donate ng kompanya ko roon.”
“Oh, yeah,” singit ni Ran. “You helped revive the NSC.”
“Well, I’ll extend help to the government any way I can. I’m sure gagawin mo rin iyon, Ran.”
“That was really nice of you, Silvanus,” wika uli ni Dunkey. “Ipinagpatayo ka na ba nila ng monumento?”
“Actually, hinihintay ko nga rin iyan.”
Sabay silang natawa ni Dunkey. Iiling-iling na lang na napangiti ang asawa nito.
“Sana lahat ng bagong magiging miyembro ng BBC, kagaya mo. Madaling kausap.”
“Sorry, hon,” wika ni Ran. “As much as I hate to say this, may palagay akong mahihirapan ka sa ilan sa mga nasa listahan ninyo.”
“Bakit mo naman nasabi `yan?”
“I just know some of them. Kaya mag-iingat ka.”
“So, who are the other boys?” tanong ni Silva.
“At the moment, we only have three legitimate billionaires,” sagot ni Dunkey. “You, Vincent Noblejas, and Vash Illustre. But we’re hoping we could get more. Iso-sort out pa namin ang ibang nasa listahan. Those women just couldn’t get enough of the BBC boys.”
“What women?” nakangiti at pabiro niyang tanong. “Kung maraming babaeng naaakit ang mga BBC ninyo, bakit wala akong nakikita ngayon?”
“Stay here and you’ll be wishing you were never on that list,” sagot ni Ran.
“Hmm, sounds nice to me.”
PHILIPPINE STATS July 2005
The Billionaire Boys Club Reloaded
by Donata ‘Dunkey’ Fontanilla
Last year, we have seen and have fallen hopelessly in love with the billionaire boys. But most women out there were not as lucky as the women who have captured their hearts. Tears were shed. Broken hearts were everywhere. Letters bombarded our office. Callers burned up our lines. Yes, that’s how women reacted whenever their favorite boys walk down the aisle. But, hey, did I mention on the last issue of the BBC that the torch of bachelorhood will have to be given to someone else?
Well, you’re in luck, girls. Because the torch has indeed been passed.
Annual business report of Philippine Stats have shown that the BBC heirs are now ready to take the role as the country’s next favorite boys. Not only they’re super rich, they also give their time and money to create more jobs for their countrymen.
And if that isn’t enough, they have the face, the bod, and the intelligence to match their bulging bank accounts. Not to mention that all are still single. What a treat! So, gear up, girls, and get ready to meet the new boys on the block.
First up, metal giant Silvanus Arellano...
