Singing champions Erik Santos, Sarah Geronimo, and Rachelle Ann Go have made it a tradition to meet up every January and celebrate the anniversary of their friendship. Last January 22, Erik shared photos from their intimate dinner celebration at a fine dining restaurant in Makati where he captioned his post, “The OG’s! 🎤⭐️.”

In his Instagram post, Erik wrote about how much he enjoyed the work-free night with his peers in the industry. He also thanked Sarah and her husband Matteo Guidicelli for the food that night.

“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. 😂 Tumatanda na tayo but our friendship will definitely stay for life. 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. A tleast 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. 😂 So happy seeing you guys. Love you all! Thank you Matt and Sars for dinner. Where to next??? 🤔”

Also seen in the photos Erik shared were their other companions in the dinner which included Sarah’s husband Matteo, Rachelle’s husband Martin Spies, and Erik’s younger sister and Star Magic artist Hadiyah Santos.

The three artists all started out in showbiz after each emerging as winners in their respective televised singing competitions like “Star in a Million” for Erik, “Star for a Night” for Sarah, and “Search for a Star” for Rachelle. They started performing regularly together on numerous production numbers on the ABS-CBN Sunday variety show ASAP and have grown closer as friends since then. 

In 2014, Rachelle left the Philippines to be part of the revival of the international hit musical Miss Saigon. She is now based in London, United Kingdom with her husband Martin and their two children, Lukas and Sela.
