Brief conversations with famous people: A former student of my mom’s
Like a complete nitwit I forgot to take photos so I got this from his Facebook page. Adel Tamano, former opposition spokesperson, cosmetic surgery and dermatological clinic endorser, and senatorial candidate.
At the Philippine Star Lifestyle Journalism Awards I saw Adel Tamano, who recently joined the Star as a columnist.
“Your mom was my teacher at JASMS,” he said.
“Yes, I remember you. What a good-looking child you were. I’m so disappointed.”
This is an obvious joke so everybody laughs.
“What are you going to do with your life?” I asked. Which is the question my mom would’ve asked him.
“I have an offer to do television,” he said, “And another for a project in which we buy schools and develop them.”
“If you plan on pursuing a political career, being on television would be useful” is my cynical advice.
“But the school project would be more satisfying,” he said.
Then we talked about his brothers, because throughout high school and college there was always a Tamano in class.
