Rafael Rosell vents frustration over 5 years delay of contractor to finish his house

Actor Rafael Rosell is running out of patience because of the delay in the construction of his house in Antipolo.

In an interview with PEP, the 35-year-old actor said that the construction of the house started five years ago.

“Bago sana ang bahay, kaya lang, five years to build, so luma na siya. Ngayon naman, tatlo, apat na buwan na naming hinihintay na mag-install ng kuryente ang Meralco,” he said full of frustration.

Rosell said he wants to publicly call out the people responsible for the delays.

“Ang tagal ko nang gustong mag-open up sa press or tawagan si Tulfo, pero anong magagawa nun, di ba?” he said.

Ever heard of the tons of cocaine that got dumped in the Pacific Ocean and later on washed up on the coastlines of Samar, Philippines? Looking forward to this. It's a work in progress, and if it pushes through, it's gonna be another awesome journey.? A little fun time this morning for this trailer shoot. Looking forward with excitement!??? #Trailer #Shoot #Samar #Zambales #Cocaine #MinaAnud

Rosell also revealed that problems with the contractor is the cause of the several delays.

“Binili ko yung lupa, pinatayuan ko ng bahay, ‘tapos may mga kaibigan si Mommy na may kakilalang contractor daw.

“Pinagkatiwalaan ko, sabi ko, ‘Sige, Ma, ikaw na ang bahala,’ pero wala namang alam si Mommy. Yung contractor, sila lang ang gumawa. Walang project manager, walang tagabantay; ako, pirma lang nang pirma ng tseke.

“Sabi nila matatapos within a year, then after another six months nang six months. Last Christmas, biglang gusto ko nang magmura. Gusto ko nang ibalita sa news,” the actor explained.

Rosell said that construction of the house started when he moved to GMA-7 in 2012. His second three-year contract with GMA is about to end but the house is still not finished.

“Doon ko pa lang sinimulan ang bank loan ko, at sabi ko, ‘Okay, it’s gonna be five years of hard work, pero nakatira na ako sa sarili kong bahay.’

“Pero five years, nakatira pa rin ako sa condo at matatapos na ako sa March sa bank loan ko, hindi pa rin ako nakakalipat sa bahay ko,” he said.

Nevertheless, Rosell remains hopeful that his house will be finished in time.

“I’m holding on to this hope na the harder you struggle for something, the greater the reward, di ba? Kung ibinigay lang sa akin yung bahay or natapos sa isang buwan, parang feeling ko, hindi ko siya maa-appreciate, pero sa mga taon na itinagal, feeling ko, nanamnamin ko talaga kapag nakalipat na ako.

“I’m just looking forward to the positive experience with the house and the long wait I know will be worth it.

“And whatever benefits the house will reap, i-e-enjoy ko talaga to the fullest yun,” he said.
