Gardo Versoza’s house not destroyed by Ulysses, wife says
MANILA, Philippines — Actor Gardo Versoza’s house in Rizal province was not destroyed by Typhoon Ulysses which caused massive flooding in parts of Luzon earlier this month, his wife Ivy clarified.
Versoza’s Instagram post of an empty house with destroyed floors and ceilings was their ancestral house and not their current home, Ivy said.
“’Yung ancestral house nina Gardo, katabi lang ng bahay namin at for renovation talaga siya this December,” Ivy was quoted as saying in a PEP.ph report on Wednesday.
(Gardo’s ancestral house is located next to our home and is for renovation this December.)
“Ang post lang ni Gardo was, ‘haaaaayyyyy our house’ kasi nga naka-ready na siya, andiyan na yung ibang mga materyales para sa renovation, tapos biglang bumagyo,” she went on.
(Gardo’s post read ‘haaaaayyyyy our house’ because he was ready, the materials for renovation were ready then the typhoon came.)

Ivy said she decided to make things clear after their friends and family expressed alarm over reports of Versoza’s post.
Typhoon Ulysses displaced thousands of people after it brought heavy rains in flooding in parts of Luzon including Metro Manila, the Bicol region, and Cagayan.
