She was in Dapitan, near UST, with her new husband, Chito, shopping for native furniture for their new house in Connecticut. They’ve never been there and was having a tough time looking for the right shop so they pulled over, opened the window and asked this scrappy-looking fruit vendor sitting along the street.
“Manong, saan po ba yung mga Handycrafts?”
It took sometime for him to answer [Isip…isip…], looking at his apples and mangoes for knowledge, and then with great relief he enthusiastically replied:
“AHH, si Andy Craft, yung maputing nag tra-tricycle, nakita ko sya kanina, doon sya nakatira sa…”
My sister decided not to wait for him to finish his response, closed the window, and drove away laughing hysterically.
Poor Andy, I wonder how many misinformed tourists drop by his house everyday looking for rattan furniture.
