Anna Cerezo, ABS-CBN NewsMANILA -- TV host and businessman Sam Verzosa, known for his collection of the country&rsquo;s most luxurious and coveted cars, parted with ten of his vehicles to help fund the construction of a Dialysis and Diagnostic Center in Sampaloc, Manila.This included one of his most prized possessions -- a Bentley that was his late father&rsquo;s dream car,&nbsp;&ldquo;Yun [Bentley] pinaka-sentimental car diyan. Inisip ko kung gusto ko keep or benta kasi wala na father ko. It was one of his dream cars. &lsquo;Yon rinequest niya sakin sana bilhin ko. Pero noong na-order ko na, he passed away before it arrived,&rdquo; Verzosa explained in an interview held after the auction, Sunday afternoon.Verzosa admitted he struggled to let go of the P20-million car his dad had longed for, but ultimately decided to part with it as he believed his father, who also went through dialysis, would be proud of this choice as it honors the lessons he wanted to instill in him.&ldquo;Inisip ko kung keep ko for sentimental purposes or ibebenta ko. Pero mas matuwa tatay ko. Siya nagturo sa akin magbigay. Kahit walang-wala kami, last money, tumutulong siya,&rdquo; he explained.&ldquo;Kaya I think kung alam niya mapunta to sa dialysis patients, I think maging proud siya sa taas kasi matutuwa siya. Iniisip ko mas marami makikinabang kaysa naka-park sa garahe,&rdquo; he added.<div class="twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered" style="display: flex; max-width: 550px; width: 100%; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><iframe id="twitter-widget-0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="true" title="X Post" src="https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-0&features=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%3D%3D&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1840316742553522540&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fnews-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Anews-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2024-09-29T14%3A19%3A30.768605%3A7a44d5c0-d612-4f43-9d4e-ebb84d93d70b%26action%3Dedit%26popup&sessionId=7c2c99ebd107e08610aac55afceef3299fe30a1a&theme=light&widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&width=550px" style="position: static; visibility: visible; width: 550px; height: 624px; display: block; flex-grow: 1;" data-tweet-id="1840316742553522540"></iframe></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>Apart from the advocacy being close to his heart as it was something his father endured, he opted to build a Dialysis and Diagnostic Center with the P200 million he earned from the auction as it is something the public needs.&ldquo;Pinili ko ito kasi tuwing umiikot ako kahit &#39;di Maynila, lagi bulong sakin &#39;yan.
