Starbucks cheers on air with Andi

MANILA, Philippines - Much like caffeine in coffee, radio jocks perk people up, especially when they put their passion into it. Throughout the year and whatever season, radio sweetheart Andi Manzano keeps her listeners’ adrenaline flowing through the airwaves, not only delivering the latest music but, more importantly, keeping company with her listeners.

As she spread cheers inside and beyond the Magic 89.9 station, she makes sure she kept one beloved companion always close at hand to warm and perk her up: A great cup of Starbucks Coffee. Andi is rarely seen without her favorite brand of brew, Starbucks is her place where she goes to connect with chums over coffee or camp out with her laptop to connect with fans and friends over Facebook and Twitter. For her, the café setting is soothing enough to talk, surf the Net and read a book.

In the past holiday season, her chocolate craving is yet another reason to step inside Starbucks for a taste of the Praline Mocha. Andi has always been big about Christmas and has the knack for putting up trimmings at home and piloting the holiday airwaves by playing beloved carols.

She shares that during her rush Christmas shopping, Andi got all the vigor she needed by taking a brief repose from the mall madness by sitting at Starbucks for a great cup of coffee. It’s also where she got fellow javaholics a no-fail present, the Starbucks Gift Card which buys the receiver a tall hand-crafted beverage of his or her choice.

Waking up to the smell of Starbucks Coffee anywhere in the world is her year-end thing. Andi flies out of the country to welcome the new year with her friends in anticipation for a great year ahead. Given her busy schedule shuttling between her radio and TV gigs, she just has to plan way ahead for her globetrotting to happen. This adventurous lady has great things going for her. It’s no surprise that she drives to Tagaytay to stop for a while to have a Starbucks moment in the breezy suburbia.

Perking people up on the drive home from work or school can be quite a pressure but thankfully, DJ Andi was born for her job. More popularly known as Andi-9, she hosts the Magic Top 5@5 radio show with co-jock Jessica and can also be seen with the Party Pilipinas gang on GMA 7.
