Dr. Esther R. Hufana ( or Manang Esther ) as a retiree still teaches Linguistics at the St. Louis University and Baguio Colleges Foundation. She travels around the Philippines to accreditize different schools and Universities. Her extensive travels go further into different Asian countries for various lectures and other related work.Her recent visit brought her to Beijing, China.
The other year, she received some airline tickets for Thailand. She received an invitation from two grateful Thai students who put up a University in their area after finishing their Doctorates in St. Louis University. Manang Esther is one of their professors. Her visit should have been on the last weekend of that December.
Unfortunately, on the 26th day of that December, the tsunami rolled into various areas of Asia killing thousands of people who were caught unaware. For her, it was a rather chilling close call with what might have happened if she was already there at that time.---#
