Another agent from Manila won't honour the 70% rule (16 Jan)

(70% rule: if you have >70% and <100% of the AM required for an itinerary, MPO will hold for a week whilst you promise to transfer in the remainder from credit cards. Even if the itinerary is fully cleared. Unwritten but I've been able to consistently get it)

Colleague 1 had problem getting it with Beijing in October. We HUACAed Manila together and got the extension.

Colleague 2 had problem getting it with Manila in January. I had to call Tsuen Wan the next morning for it.
