Thank You Lina Trinidad

By | Tributes | No Comments

 If you are a regular Rustan’s shopper particularly jewelry you will know this lady, Lina Trinidad. She’s been working with us for 57 years. She was only 21 yrs old ( grade 6) and was regularized on day 2 of her job ( salary of P4.00 a day) since Lolo and Lola saw her skills in selling. I knew Lina since I was a kid and would buy bracelets from her and we worked together when I handled the Jewelry division. I love her and we still text each other once in awhile and visit her sometimes. She is now 80 yrs old and she told me she owes her life to Rustan’s but to me Rustan’s owes a lot to her and to all the people who have served the company and the family. You know who to look for when you are looking for something specialThank You Lina Trinidad (3)

Thank You Lina Trinidad (2)

Tita Nedy and the family gave her a special dinner to pay tribute to her and say thank you to her for her loyalty and her service to the company and family.  We love you forever Lina!! I think she feels the same because she said she will still go to the store and doesn’t want to retire haha!! That is the GRT in us – we love Rustan’s no matter whatThank You Lina Trinidad (1)

You can see a few jackfish already here.  They are big! 🙂  We came at around 1030am and they had finished feeding already so there’s not that much jackfish anymore 🙁  So best is to come early – I believe they have 2 feeding times in the morningSwimming with the Jackfish at Miniloc Island Resort (1)

Then you can swim with them 🙂Swimming with the Jackfish at Miniloc Island Resort (9)

Since we didn’t have a go pro camera, we had to buy the disposable underwater cameras and here are our photos 🙂
