‘Travel Agent of the Year’
MANILA, Philippines - If ever the Department Of Tourism (DOT) will launch a search for Travel Agent of the Year, I nominate Luchi Sta. Ana (of Travel Specialist) who, I’m sure, will be a shoo-in for the honor.
Here’s why:
Three weeks ago, I had a problem getting the tapes of my interviews in L.A. with the stars of Breaking Dawn 2 (Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and others) to Manila in time for its airing on Startalk. I left L.A. on Nov. 5 on Eva Air for a three-day stopover in Taipei for an important appointment.
Should I send the tapes via FedEx? Why not…but there was no assurance that they would arrive in Manila before the Saturday Nov. 10 airing. I couldn’t find somebody (a co-passenger maybe?) who could deliver the tapes to GMA.
Luchi volunteered to divert her flight from Seoul (where she was on holiday) to Taipei on her way to Manila. But the airline she was taking didn’t take that route.
What she did was, a day after arriving in Manila, she took a PAL flight to Taipei and we met at the airport mid-morning of Nov. 6. Then, she flew right back home afternoon of the same day…yes, with the precious tapes!
Nobody has ever done me that kind of favor.
And that’s why I’m “awarding†Luchi as Travel Agent of the Year!
