JEWEL: OMG GUESS HOW OLD PONTRI IS
MARGA: Whut. Fifty?
JEWEL: No. But CLOSE. He's FORTY-SEVEN! @@
MARGA: HOFAK! I thought he was FORTY at the most!
JEWEL: Crazy noh?! Ang galing lang talaga. Dude can pass off as THIRTY, even. ANG GALING. The Amazing Pontri.
You see, I grew up listening to NU 107. As far as I remember, I've been hearing Pontri over the airwaves since I started listening. And that was like, uh, when I was nine? Or ten?
Fast forward to 2009. Since Run Radio airs at NU107, I had the opportunity to meet the man himself. The legend. THE Pontri.
And I feel blessed to even be made fun of by him.
Rewind: Thursday, 9:00 PM

Cyrus on the phone with Pontri pre-live phonepatch
MARGA: (while having dinner beside Cyrus) HI PONTREEEE!!
CYRUS: Guess who I'm with! Eto, kausapin mo
Cyrus hands his phone to me
MARGA: Pontri! I miss you!
PONTRI: Hmmm sino ito?! (chuckles)
MARGA: MARGA!
PONTRI: UY! Anong ginagawa nyo ni Cyrus magkasama? Kayo na pala ha! O, dapat best man ako sa kasal!
MARGA: >.<
I know you know who Pontri is. He and Kiko (Francis Brew) are ZE LEGENDS of NU107. And you should be a fan. You must be.
