Two for the road
Edgar Suelo and Dado Tan
Bestfriends Edgar Suelo and Dado Tan.
Best of friends landscape artist/ restaurateur Edgar Suelo of Casitas Resto Bar fame and GMA Assistant Program Manager for Regional Dado Tan, celebrated a few moons ago their 25 years of friendship with an intimate dinner at the Suelo's place. They were joined by some of their friends, who, in one way or the other, helped mold who they are now.
It all started in their college days in 1983, when Edgar, who performed as a dancer in one of the contests in the now defunct Treasure Hunt Discotheque in Hotel del Rio met Dado through mutual friends. Dado, during that time, was scouting for fresh and promising talents for IBC Channel 12 shows. From then on, Edgar would tag along with Dado, who branched out into producing concerts and other event promotions. The rest is history.
Happy friends.
Asked what made their friendship last this long, Dado was quick to add that he found Edgar "very natural; he is what he is, no facade and what you see is what you get." With Edgar, he consider, Dado as a brother; a person he can always depend on in good and bad times; a good model of a survivor; very generous and a person who always has a good disposition.
There are moments when they would not see each other for a long time due to their work demands but for both of them, time and distance was never a hindrance.

He also runs one of the best tutorial centers here. They have been friends for 17 years now. Both loves to sing and they met in a public choir practice, Tunog sang Pamatan-on, a youth project of St. Joseph the Worker parish.
From then on, they have been inseparable. They would always do things together for their parish church. Jack looked up to Jonathan as a respectable name in the field of academe and a very understanding friend. Jack, for Jonathan, is a one-of-a- kind friend, always willing to listen and very generous to share his advices and support. Jonathan, who recently got married opened an Internet center called I- Net Alternative located at San Isidro, Jaro with Jack as partner. Surely, with trust and respect as these two men's motto, their friendship will definitely go a long way. Cheers!
