Personal life
Salvador owns a car financing business with his family in his hometown Parañaque. In February 2016, Salvador, with his cousin and four others were involved in a scam that involves tricking new car owners into borrowing their new cars for a car-renting service where the car owners are promised up to
Philippine peso40,000 ($840) per month, only to say that their car was "lost" but was instead allegedly given to Salvador, which he in turn uses in his own car business.
However, Salvador and the other accusers has denied he has any knowledge about this.
