Boracay waitpersons join beachfront race

Some 30 waiters and waitresses working in various restaurants in this world-famous island joined the second Waiters’ Race.

The race – initiated by the Italian Food Specialist, Inc. – was held on Oct. 21, organizer Jorge Billedo said.

Participants were made to walk the 1.5-kilometer beachfront while holding a glass of red wine.

Whoever finishes first with the least amount of wine spillage wins.

The wind and some tourists blocking the way challenged the participants, said Italian Chef Massimo Lamagne.

“The race aims to recognize the efficiency and resiliency of our Pinoy waiters here in Boracay,” Billedo said./
