Tado Jimenez
seriously |
|
By Perry Gil S. Mallari
DJ Tado—Arvin Jimenez in real
life—first caught the public’s fancy as the off-the-wall,
Volkswagen Beetle-driving host of the magazine show Strangebrew
aired on a cable channel years back. In a time when the viewers were
sick and tired of boring, brain-dead hosts, the timing of his entry
to television was perfect. Jimenez has it all down pat—a unique
cartoony look, a caustic wit and a weird sense of humor. In no time,
the character of Tado gained a cult following and was enshrined as a
pop culture icon.
There’s more than meets the
eye
Jimenez’s persona is a
contradiction of sorts. From Monday to Friday, 9 p.m. to midnight,
he wreaks hilarious havoc hosting the radio program Brewrats on 95.5
RT with Ramon Bautista and Angel Rivero (his former co-host in
Strangebrew). On air, it’s not unusual for DJ Tado to talk about
his odd fancy of eating polar bears or joke about his beloved Pasay
City where he spent most of his teenage life. “Pag taga-Pasay ka
at hindi ka umiinom, you’re a born-again [If you’re a Pasay
resident and you’re not drinking you’re a born-again
Christian],” he once quipped.
