Howlin' Dave is one of the most popular and richest Radio Personality who was born on July 16, 1955 in Philippines, Philippines.

Howlin’ Dave was also credited with introducing Filipino radio listeners to punk rock and new wave music beginning in the late 1970s, through his program New Wave Nights. His choice to promote punk music was controversial among his fellow deejays and with his station, but his program developed a following, with spikey-haired teens soon showing up at the radio station, drinking gin and breaking bottles. Between 1980 and 1985, Howlin’ Dave hosted the annual ‘Brave New World’ punk concert, which he closed with his take on Sid Vicious’s version of “My Way”.

Howlin’ Dave grew up in Pasay City and dropped out of high school. While enrolled in a Fine Arts course at the Philippine Women’s University, he was hired as a radio announcer on DZRJ-AM in 1974. He adopted the name “Howlin’ Dave” after the American blues singer Howlin’ Wolf. He soon became the host of Pinoy Rock and Rhythm, a weekend thirty-minute radio program that featured the then-nascent Pinoy rock music. The program was credited with popularizing such Filipino rock acts as the Juan Dela Cruz Band, Asin and the singer Sampaguita. Howlin’ Dave himself became known for his trademark mangled grammar and syntax, his atypical on-air use of the Tagalog language, and for his passionate and excitable delivery in his big booming voice. The drummer Pepe Smith called him “the best rock DJ the Philippines ever had.”
