JERICHO ROSALES OWN RECIPE

Actor Jericho Rosales and Ryan Manalo have been buddies since they were toddlers. They used to be teks, holen & goma playmates. As youngters, they were even roommates. They have been separated only a few times in their lives; like when Jericho's grandma took him to the province.

Their teenage years were a lof of fun. Although Ryan is two years older than Jericho, they treat themselves equal level. Ryan was 16 and Jing (Jericho's nickname) was 14 when they worked as "mag-iisda" in Concepcion, Marikina market. Jericho shared the thrill of the experience. He bragged being a pro at selling fish. Ryan's grandmother was the stall owner and that's how they got the part-time work.

At their young age, fish vending was an adventure, an escapade. It must be this sense of shared adventure that has made Jericho & Ryan as cookign buddies. SInce they have to eat together, they had to learn to cook together. Just expected, they developed their own recipes.

I am looking forward to watch Jericho and Kristine Hermosa on T.V. for their upcoming comeback teleserye, "DAHIL MAY ISANG IKAW".
