When our dad was just 27 years old, he was already the General Manager of a TV station. Under his management, many of today’s great actors and singers were discovered and to star in their own shows. When he was 32 years old he left the TV station and set-up his own business as blocktimer, buying shows from the US and Japan and aired them on different Philippine TV stations. When he was 45 years old, he finally got to run his own TV station, SBN 21, the first local UHF TV station. It’s been 12 years since our dad passed away. Below are 12 shows that he brought into the country; shows that shaped our childhood and made us want to make our own stories. Thanks dad! Buddy Tan: January 28, 1945 – March 2, 1999
