Singing champions Erik Santos, Rachelle Ann Go, and Sarah Geronimo recently reunited to celebrate their 22-year friendship.
On Instagram, Santos shared heartwarming photos from their dinner at Blackbird restaurant in Neilson Tower, Makati, joined by their loved ones. Santos was accompanied by his sister Hadiya, Go was with her husband Martin Spies, and Geronimo was with her husband Matteo Guidicelli.
In his caption, Santos expressed his joy at reconnecting with his longtime friends:
“What a fun night. Natuloy din sa wakas! Saya ng bonding. We didn’t talk about work. We talked about life, love, and body aches,” Santos joked. “Tumatanda na tayo but our friendship will definitely stay for life.”
(What a fun night. Bonding was fun. We didn't talk about work. We talked about life, love, and body aches, We are getting older but our friendship will definitely stay for life.)
He also reflected on their journey together since the early days of their careers.
“Last night, we also celebrated our 22 years of friendship. Binalikan ang nakaraan, nung nagsisimula pa lang. Ang dami na nangyari at mga pinagdadaanan pero tinatawanan na lang natin. At least kahit hindi tayo nagkikita madalas, we know in our hearts we always have each other’s backs. Hadiyah, sana naka-relate ka sa kwentuhan namin ng mga ninang mo,” he added humorously.
(Last night, we also celebrated our 22 years of friendship. Looking back on the past, when it was just beginning. We've been through so much and we've been through so much but we just laugh about it. At least even though we don't see each other often, we know in our hearts we always have each other's backs. Hadiyah, I hope you relate to our story with your godmothers.)
The trio rose to fame in the early 2000s after winning in different TV reality singing competitions. Over the years, they have maintained their strong bond despite pursuing individual paths.
In 2014, Rachelle Ann Go moved to London to join the revival of the international hit musical Miss Saigon. She is now based in the UK with her husband Martin and their two children, Lukas and Sela.
