Aldrin “The One” Javar
T.G.I.Friday’s TriNoMa
Earning his keep while studying, Aldrin has been to different places, even working in a casual dining restaurant in Singapore. But when he heard about T.G.I.Friday’s, this TESDA bartending contest winner immediately came back home and tried his luck. Aldrin not only landed his dream job, he is also on his way to fulfilling his bartending dream. If he were a drink, Aldrin says he would most probably be a “Rum Runner” because it represents his career and the journey he is yet to face—“An unexpected but exciting one, that is,” he says.
Genrev “The Revolution” Bacasno
T.G.I.Friday’s Tomas Morato
GenRev “The Revolution” Bacasno was the champion in last year’s TGI Friday’s “Shake, Rattle and Pour Bartending Championship!” His excellent showmanship, bartending skills, sunny personality and impressive working flair catapulted him to the top and gave him the chance to represent Friday’s Philippines at the Asian Bartending Competition held in Melbourne, Australia last November where he placed 2nd runner up.

He compares himself to the “Strawberry Mango Lemonade” because of its sweetness with a twist. “Like me, I put a twist in everything I do.”
Junjun “The Entertainer” Marcelo
T.G.I.Friday’s Malate
When it comes to bartending, JunJun knows how to entertain with winning flair-tending moves, impressive dance steps, funny facial expressions, and of course, the unique music he is known for. He has been handpicked by Department of Tourism to promote “It’s more fun in the Philippines” to countries like India and Dubai. If he were a drink, he would be “The Apple Mojito.” Junjun says, “Aside from being one of the popular drinks in T.G.I.Friday’s, you can taste the sweetness first but there’s a strong kick somewhere.”
