THE travel trade is mourning the passing of Grand Holidays Travel and Tours’ general manager, Adrienne Macrina “Queenie” Borromeo. She succumbed to heart attack yesterday morning. She was 63.
Well-loved for her “super bubbly” personality and “the way she treated her people well”, Borromeo has been in the industry for four decades, starting first as a sales representative for Northwest Airlines around the same time that Maucie Cuna, one of her closest friends, was also the sales rep for Japan Airlines.
“She’s a good manager, a good friend for 40 years,” said Cuna, who is currently Philippine Travel Agencies Association (PTAA) secretary general and Pan Malayan Express’ general manager.
“Queenie never missed a PTAA meeting regardless of wherever she was. She’s a very strong supporter, she’s always active although she was never an officer,” added Cuna.
