Filipino Hospitality

I had some white wine with a friend of mine who just arrived for a vacation from working overseas as a seaman. He had some story to tell on how he got the white wine that we're having.

On his trip from Greece to Bahrain via Gulf Air he was seated near the aisle. Opposite on the aisle was a caucasian male. On the duration of the flight the caucasian male found out that his lampshade is not functioning properly. Somehow he is not happy with his situation since he had some things to do inflight and he badly needed the lampshade working. The flight attendant tried to fix the lampshade but still it won't work. So the lamp problem became an issue now between the flight attendant and the caucasian male and it's starting to catch some attention. As my friend noticed the commution he tried to open up his lamp and it seems working fine, so he decided to approach the flight attendant and told them that it's fine with him to swap places with the caucasian male if he like since he is not using the working lamp shade on his seat. The caucasian male agreed and they swap places and the issue was resolved.

Later on the duration of the flight, the manager of the flight attendants approach my friend thanking him for providing his place to the caucasian male. The manager was so grateful on what he did. In return the manager gave him some wine as a gift but he refused to have it, so he returned to his seat. But then the manager was insistent, he personally brought the bottles of wine into his place so he accepted it.

This is just another way of how Filipino hospitality happens when situation arises . . .
