CURATOR TURNS COUCH POTATO

Art gallery curator Robert Bjorn Santos sleeps on a couch in his nephew’s room nowadays after the Makati-based Grupo Santamaria that he hired to renovate bedrooms in their ancestral house in Valenzuela City left the job unfinished and a mess, according to a damage suit filed by Santos.

Santos, who claimed he had already advanced P4 million to interior designer Nina Santamaria, is still asking P6.7 million in damages, despite the profuse apologies extended by Santamaria, whose list of satisfied clients include Nick and Lucille Locsin of Forbes Park, model Apples Aberin-Sadhwani of Bel Air and the Ayala Tower One executive lounge.
