Hindi na-enjoy ni Andi Manzano ang mga unang araw na bakasyon ng kanilang pamilya sa South Korea dahil naiwan niya sa taxi ang kanyang bag na naglalaman ng camera.
At nangyari pa ito sa mismong kaarawan ng TV and readio personality noong March 29, 2026.
Ibinahagi ni Andi ang hindi magandang karanasan sa pamamagitan ng kanyang Instagram account ngayong umaga ng Lunes, April 6.
Lahad niya: "I lost my bag in a Korea taxi… on my birthday [melting face emoji]
"Not just any bag.. my camera was inside with every single bit of footage from this trip."
Tulog daw ang bunso niyang anak na si Lucia, habang ang pangalawa na si Amelia ay hawak ang lalagyan nila ng tubig.
Hawak naman ng panganay na si Olivia ang bag na lagayan ng mga gamit ng baby at ang camera.
"Lucia had fallen asleep so I was carrying her, Amelia had the water jug and I’d asked Oli to hold the baby bag.
"We were so focused on getting everyone settled into the stroller for the BTS pop-up that it wasn’t until the taxi pulled away that we all realized… the bag was still inside!!!
"I could see it on Oli’s face, she felt so bad and I kept telling her it was okay, but inside I was already panicking."
Sa loob daw ng dalawang araw, ibinuhos ni Andi ang oras para ma-recover ang nawawalang bag.

ANDI MANZANO THANKS UBER DRIVER FOR HELPING THEM
Sinabihan na raw si Andi ng asawang si GP Reyes na hayaan na ang nawalang bag at enjoy-in na lamang ang mga natitirang araw ng kanilang bakasyon.
Mabuti na lamang daw at may nakilala silang Korean Uber driver, na nagngangalang Mr. Yang, at tinulungan silang mahanap ang nawawalang camera.
Lahad ni Andi: "For two days we tried everything. Uber messaged the driver, but he wasn’t responding.
"We reached out to Mr. Yang (who had been so kind taking us to Nami Island and picking us up in the airport) just to ask if he could speak Korean to the police for us.
"Before I knew it, his next message was: 'I’m on my way to the police station.'
"He drove an hour just to check a lead, and when it turned out not to be mine, @gp_reyes told me to let it go already and to just enjoy the rest of the trip.
"Then, out of nowhere, Mr. Yang messaged again asking for the Uber plate number. Next thing I know, he’s on his way to meet the driver.
"He didn’t have to do any of that, but he chose to keep working with the police until he tracked him down. I was in tears. How can this man be so nice? He was heaven sent!"

Hindi pa rin makapaniwala si Andi na na-recover nila ang nawawalang bag sa tulong ng isang dayuhan.
Saad niya: "I still can’t believe it. It was a reminder from God that even when things feel completely out of your control… even on days that are supposed to be special, He’s still working behind the scenes in ways you don’t see yet.
"The bag is back but it’s the selfless heart of a stranger that I’ll remember most.
"Proof that sometimes 'lost' things are only there to show us what really matters. Best birthday gift ever [crying with tears, praying hands emojis]"
Rekomendasyon pa niya, "If you are in Seoul and need a driver, please get him. Just shoot me a message and I’ll send you his number [praying hands emoji]"
