Career

Adrian Lagdameo Policena, also known as Love Radio Manila's "Chris Tsuper", is a KBP (Kapisanan ng mga Broadkaster ng Pilipinas) accredited radio announcer, a recording artist, and one of the most sought after product endorsers in Philippine radio today. He is best known for his top-rated morning program "Tambalan" along with Nicole Hyala aired over 90.7 Love Radio Manila and Love Radio stations nationwide. Tambalan is not a typical radio program with two people conversing with each other; rather it engages listeners who have the chance to air out their problems. With Tambalan's special segment, "Ang Kwento ng Mahiwagang Burnay", deals with different human experiences that listeners can relate to— be it bad, silly, exciting, funny, remorseful, or embarrassing— and can make them smile or even laugh. Aside from the program Tambalan, Chris and co-host Nicole have branched out into recording albums with lyrics that reflect their on-air antics and vibrancy. These songs are another creative way to showcase the relatable everyday Filipino experiences that they feature in their show, Tambalan. And the entertainment does not stop on air or in albums. Chris has co-authored the number one best-selling book "Tambalan". Due to their success on FM radio, he and Nicole crossed-over to television, as the additional hosts of the Saturday morning edition of '' Music Uplate Live'' on
