Vincent Co and the Puregold Media Conference
After weeks of recovering from eye surgery, I finally received permission from my ophthalmologist to travel outside Quezon City. My first journey led me to the eagerly awaited media conference for the new Puregold Channel series “Si Sol at si Luna.” This event was not only an opportunity to meet the show’s creators and stars but also a rare chance to encounter Manila’s most eligible bachelor, Vincent Co.
Vincent Co, the president of Puregold Price Club Inc., is a notable figure in the business world. Despite running a company with over 600 retail stores nationwide and generating more than P10 billion in profits last year, he maintains a remarkably low profile. His social media accounts remain private, and he usually appears only at official business functions. This humble approach is unusual for someone of his success and stature.
The Search for Manila’s Most Eligible Bachelor
Throughout the press conference, my attention was fixated on spotting Vincent Co. I scanned the room repeatedly, hoping to catch a glimpse of the man who rarely steps into the public spotlight. Some of my fellow journalists had already interviewed him, which added a layer of urgency and a hint of envy to my search. I was determined not to miss this unique opportunity.
However, Vincent Co chose to remain out of the limelight during the event. True to his reserved nature, he stayed away from the cameras and bright lights, leaving the focus solely on the cast and creators of “Si Sol at si Luna.” Although I felt a twinge of disappointment, I respected his decision. After all, the event was meant to highlight the show, which he supports wholeheartedly.
Unexpected Encounter After the Press Conference
After spending two hours at the conference, I stepped out to get a drink, feeling parched from the intense lighting and my continuous search. As I moved to the first floor, I turned left—and there he was. Just ten steps away, Vincent Co stood calmly, completely away from the crowd. I was momentarily stunned and unsure whether to take a discreet photo or simply admire the moment. Having just recovered from eye surgery, I recognized how striking he was: tall, confident, and effortlessly handsome without arrogance.
Before I could approach, a team of about eight assistants quickly gathered around him. They escorted Vincent Co to the escalator and back upstairs, presumably to check on the ongoing press conference. I remained rooted in place, feeling fortunate to have finally seen Manila’s most eligible bachelor in person. Mission accomplished.
This brief encounter revealed a side of Vincent Co that few get to witness—a man who balances immense business success with humility and discretion.
