Same-Sex Marriage in PH: Gay Couple Ties the Knot in a “Holy Union” Ceremony

Pictures of the wedding rites of a gay couple are making rounds in the internet these days.

On October 19, Rafael Pol Yaranon Gregorio and Pol ni rafael  tied the knot in a “Holy Union” ceremony officiated by Fr. Regen Luna of Ekklesia Tou Theou. Facebook user Kerwin John Dante Malveda shared the photos of the event in his account on Tuesday, October 21.

Ekklesia Tou Theou is a liberal church in the Catholic tradition.

What is a “Holy Union”?
According to the website of the church, a “Holy Union” is a Christian celebration of love in which two persons of the same sex are spiritually joined.  In this ceremony, vows and promises are made before God.

Moreover, the church’s prerequisites for “holy union” include the following: at least 8 to 12 months relationship, a personal interview with their Pastor, and a pre-holy union counselling if relationship is less than 12 months.

Those planning to have a “holy union” are also obliged to fill-up legal documents used in countries that allow same-sex marriages.

Is Same-Sex Marriage Legal in the Philippines?

A “Holy Union” is considered invalid in our country since it is not yet legally recognized. Moreover, it does not provide legal protection and benefits from marriage.

Section 1 of the Family Code states: “Marriage is a special contract of permanent union between a man and a womanentered into in accordance with law for the establishment of conjugal and family life.”

On the other hand, former University of the Philippines College of Law Dean Pacifico Agabin thinks that the denial of same-sex marriage violates the equal protection of law during the 11th Metrobank Foundation Professorial Chair Lecture Wednesday at the Court of Appeals auditorium.

“The Family Code’s concept of marriage as a contract between a man and a woman aside from being obsolete, violates the equal protection clause of the Constitution,”

He added that it “also intrudes into the right to privacy which is a fundamental right.”

Reactions to the Union
Many of the couple’s friends congratulated and expressed their support to their marriage.

However, according to Rafael Pol Yaranon Gregorio, someone left a negative comment in one of their pictures.

In his Facebook account, Rafael Pol Yaranon Gregorio wrote:
“This Clean woman reacted on our pic stating “…homosexuality… They must be put to death for they are put to death…”

John 8:7 ” When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”

You have the first stone… If you did not commit sin, throw it on us…”

Question: Are These the Controversial Photos that Josefina Tallado was Talking About?


Souce: www.fashionpulis.com

Sex photo enraged governor, says ‘kidnapped’ wife



MANILA, Philippines - After she went missing for almost a week, the wife of Camarines Norte Gov. Edgardo Tallado surfaced yesterday, saying she had to hide out of fear for her life.

Josefina Tallado claimed she had to hide from her husband who had threatened her on suspicion that she leaked a photo that surfaced online showing the governor’s alleged mistress.

Tallado denied earlier reports that she was kidnapped in Lupi, Camarines Sur last Friday.

“I am hiding and I was not kidnapped. I voluntarily left my home because I feel I am not safe there anymore,” Tallado said in an interview on ABS-CBN.

She said her husband confronted her on suspicion that she posted the naked picture of the woman on Facebook.

“It happened last Wednesday when he confronted me and I saw a gun tucked behind his waist. It was the first time I saw him very angry. That was when I felt I had to leave,” Tallado said, adding she had known about her husband’s affair for years.

Tallado said her husband accused her and her friend, Darlene Francisco, of uploading the photo on Facebook.

She said she was accompanied by Francisco when she escaped in a black Toyota Fortuner, which they abandoned in Lupi town.

The two women hitched a ride on a motorcycle to Naga City. From there, Tallado bought a second-hand car and drove to Manila.

Governor Tallado earlier said his wife and Francisco left for the town of Vinzons on Friday but never came back.

The vehicle was found abandoned in Lupi, prompting authorities to suspect the governor’s wife and aide were kidnapped.

A police task force was formed to search for Mrs. Tallado and Francisco.

Interior and Local Government Secretary Manuel Roxas II said the police Special Investigation Task Group (SITG) and the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) had sighted Mrs. Tallado when she went missing.

“There were sightings. We have A-1 sources, in fact one of them involved the CIDG asking for a copy of CCTV, wherein she was seen in a place and to ascertain she was really the person,” Roxas said.

According to Roxas, he spoke with Gov. Tallado about his wife and he did not mention her disappearance.

“I asked him directly about the report of his missing wife and the recovered vehicle and he claimed the vehicle could have just developed engine trouble. He said they are not quarreling. He said his wife was only accompanying her friend home,” Roxas said.

‘Compromising’
Lawyer Lorna Kapunan accompanied Tallado and Francisco during the interview on ABS-CBN in Manila.

Kapunan said in the interview that the governor smashed his wife’s laptop with the gun.

“She’s never seen this in the husband. The picture is compromising. The supposed mistress was nude and masturbating. That was gross. The governor and the mistress felt so ashamed that they suspected Mrs. Tallado was behind the leak,” Kapunan said.

Francisco, for her part, said she saw the photo but denied uploading it. She said the photo could no longer be accessed.

Kapunan said a barangay protection order was issued Monday for Tallado. She did not reveal which barangay issued the order but she said it was in Quezon City.

“There is a threat against her. Her life is under threat,” Kapunan stressed.

Kapunan explained a barangay protection order could be immediately issued without the need for a hearing.

Kapunan said she sought the barangay protection order for her client to prevent the governor from getting near his wife.

Kapunan said the order also prevents the governor from stalking or even sending threatening messages to his wife. She said the governor could be jailed if he violated the order.

But even with the sanctions that the governor could face if he violated the order, for someone in power such protection is “just a piece of paper,” Kapunan admitted.

She said the barangay protection order is valid for 15 days. Before it lapses, Mrs. Tallado would have to file for a temporary protection order before the court, which will last for 30 days.

Following hearings, a court then decides whether a permanent protection order could be issued.

Roxas said he will meet the lawyers and Gov. Tallado to find out what really happened.

“This might be considered (a case of) women in crisis, we will leave it to the authorities,” he said.

Roxas said authorities are willing to provide security if Mrs. Tallado will request for assistance.

“But I don’t want to preempt her. The issues should be resolved between the spouses and their lawyers. It is always a very sad situation, domestic quarrels… if somebody could be involved, then we will file a case,” he said

A man with a bladed weapon had taken over an Everlasting bus.

The bus hostage situation involving a man on an Everlasting bus that stopped along North Luzon Expressway (NLEx) in Guiguinto, Bulacan has been resolved as of 8:35 a.m. on Monday, October 20. The suspect is now under the custody of the Bulacan police.

The bus had come from Tuguegarao and was bound for Cubao when the incident occurred.

The hostage-taker, who has been identified as Lauro Sanchez, boarded the Manila-bound bus from Cauayan, Isabela.

At around 6 a.m., witnesses say Sanchez suddenly held a foreign passenger at knife-point as bus was going through the Santa Rita exit of the NLEx in Guiguinto, Bulacan. The bus ended up stopping at the Sta. Rita toll plaza.

NLEx Traffic Control supervisor Richard Briones said the man held 13 bus passengers. Other passengers managed to get out of the bus. All 13 passengers were found tobe unharmed.

Police Supt. Frankie Candelario, who led the assault team, got wounded while seizing the bladed weapon from the suspect.

Sanchez allegedly demanded to talk to media to air his grievance against members of the Philippine National Police (PNP) Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG).

Investigators are still trying to find out if Sanchez was talking about a legitimate issue or if he was under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs. Police had noted that Sanchez seemed to be "unstable."

Police Sr. Supt. Ferdinand Divina, director of Bulacan Police, told ANC, "Galit na galit (si Sanchez). Kung bakit po siya galit na galit eh ini-establish pa po natin."

Two-year-old boy from Antique has fetus inside stomach

fetus
Doctors have found a fetus inside a two-year-old boy’s stomach.


Parents of the child suffering from the rare abnormal condition, fetus in fetu, are seeking for medicines as well as financial support to cover for the child’s operation. Due to his condition, the boy is having difficulty breathing and walking.

Although the boy was diagnosed in July last year, he was not able to undergo surgery because his family was victimised by supertyphoon Yolanda in November last year.

Dr. Romelia Mendoza, the attending physician and pediatrician of the boy in West Visayas State University Medical Center explained that the fetus inside the child’s stomach has no heartbeat.

When we say fetus in fetu, it doesn’t mean that the fetus inside the kid’s stomach is alive. Based on the CT scan last year, it was by calcification that the fetus was formed…There is no fetal heartbeat based on ultrasound,

Mendoza also said that they are already preparing the child for his surgery scheduled on Monday, October 20.

According to the father of the child, they had the boy checked up last year after his stomach started swelling. Initially, they thought he had a kidney problem.

What is fetus in fetu?
Fetus in fetu is an abnormal condition occurring early within pregnancy in which a fetus develops inside the body of the other twin. The absorbed fetus gets its twin’s blood supply in order to survive, making it act like a parasite to its host twin.



An extremely unique condition, it only occurs 1 in every 500,000 births.  Fetus in fetu is usually discovered shortly after the host twin is born. However, there are cases in which the condition is only detected in adulthood or even death.

An interesting case: Adult discovery
In 1999, Sanju Bhagat, a 36-year-old man from Nagpur, India was rushed to hospital to undergo surgery for what doctors thought was a tumor. Bhagat’s stomach was so swollen that he appeared nine months pregnant.

To their surprise, the surgeons found something else inside the belly of the man.

According to one report: “He [the surgeon] just put his hand inside and he said there are a lot of bones inside. First one limb came out, then another limb came out. Then some part of genitalia, then some part of hair, some limbs, jaws, limbs, hair.”

The Indian man who lived as a host for his twin for more than three decades survived the surgery and was reportedly in good health.

Russian Tennis Federation head Shamil Tarpischev called the Williams sisters the "Williams brothers" and added "it's scary when you really look at them"

Tennis star Serena Williams commended the Women’s Tennis Association for disciplining the head of the Russian Tennis Federation for his “sexist as well as racist” remarks on a Russian television program.

The WTA suspended Shamil Tarpischev for a year and fined him $25,000 after he referred to Williams and her sister, fellow tennis champion Venus Williams, as the “Williams brothers” and said “it’s scary when you really look at them,” the WashingtonPost reports.

“I think the WTA did a great job of taking initiative and taking immediate action to his comments,” Williams said in Singapore on Sunday at the WTA Tour Finals. “I thought they were very insensitive and extremely sexist as well as racist at the same time. I thought they were in a way bullying. ”

Tarpischev, who is a member of the International Olympic Committee, said the comments were a “joke” in a statement.

“I didn’t want to offend any athlete with my words,” he said. “I regret that this joke has garnered so much attention. I don’t think this incident deserves so much fuss.”

Probers question 4 US Marines on slay

HEREBY SERVED  A copy of the murder complaint filed by the family of Jeffrey “Jennifer” Laude against a US Marine is stuck on  a barbed wire at the gate leading to the  USS Peleliu, which is docked at Subic Freeport.  RAFFY LERMA
MANILA, Philippines–“News not quite right,” US Ambassador to the Philippines Philip Goldberg said Sunday, referring to reports that the United States would produce a US Marine suspected of killing a transgender Filipino and four other servicemen wanted as witnesses by investigators.


Goldberg tweeted that under the bilateral Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA), the United States will make the suspect available, but whether the suspect appears in court is for his lawyer to decide.

“We continue to fully cooperate and collaborate with Philippine authorities in all aspects of the case concerning the death of [Jeffrey “Jennifer”] Laude,” he said.

Goldberg said the United States would continue to work closely with the Philippine government “to ensure justice is served and the rights of all persons are protected.”

He said the VFA made possible “close coordination between the United States and Philippine authorities in investigating Jennifer Laude’s case.”

In a statement issued Sunday, the US Embassy said four witnesses gave statements to Philippine prosecutors in the case involving the killing of Laude.

“Last week, city prosecutors met with four witnesses and swore them to their statements in accordance with Philippine law,” the embassy said.

The embassy cited this as another sign of its continued cooperation in the controversial case.

“The witnesses will be made available for the trial,” the statement said.

Subpoena served
Olongapo City Prosecutor Emelie de los Santos and Eduardo de Vega of the legal department of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) handed a subpoena to US Embassy officials in Manila on Friday for the appearance of Pemberton and the four other Marines in the preliminary investigation on Tuesday.

But the embassy said the four other Marines would no longer have to appear on Tuesday as their statements had already been obtained.

It stressed that “whether the suspect will appear on Tuesday is a decision that he will make in consultation with his Philippine legal counsel, in accordance with Philippine law.”

Asked whether the four witnesses were still in the Philippines, US Embassy spokesman Kurt Hoyer replied: “They are not here anymore.”

'Secret daddies' no more

For most of these five male celebrities, it began when rumors spread that they have secretly sired kids. Then these rumors spread like clouds that didn't go away and got more and more people curious.

Eventually, these men came out in the open to confirm the rumors, and with different reasons for having previously denied the accusation or for having kept quiet about it initially.



Mark Herras eventually admitted to being a father to a baby girl, which he denied initially. He said that he eventually got tired of having to deny and has clarified that he loves his baby girl, whose mother used to be Mark's road manager and who is five years his senior.

Brazilian-Japanese model Fabio Ide recently admitted that he is the father of a baby girl with Denisse Oca, daughter of seasoned actress Melissa Mendez. Fabio related that he got Denisse pregnant after a "casual encounter," and although he is with another girl, Fabio said that he is not neglecting his responsibilities as a dad to his daughter.

PCSO says there's hope for the man with burned lotto ticket

The burned ticket (Screengrab from TV Patrol)
Antonio Failon Mendoza of Calaca, Batangas claimed that he won P12 million in the October 2 draw, but the ticket got burned when his daughter ironed it.


There's hope for the man whose crumpled winning lotto ticket was burned after his daughter tried to smooth it out by ironing it.

He may need to wait for a year before claiming a P12-million lottery prize, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) said.
PCSO explains decision
PCSO General Manager Jose Ferdinand Rojas II told dzMM Monday that someone else with an undamaged and genuine ticket may surface and claim the prize.

"Baka mamaya, hindi natin masabi, may dumating na real ticket owner. Hindi ko sinasabing hindi siya ang real ticket owner. Maaring may lumabas na siya ang nanalo. Dapat hintayin din natin," Rojas said. "May one year to claim ang mga nanalo."

He said the case will be raised to the PCSO board of directors.

Landmark case
Rojas said all is not lost for Mendoza. "Hindi natin isasara ang pintuan. Ito'y dapat suriin nating mabuti," he said, adding that the case is the first of its kind in the country.

"Tignan natin kung ano ang pwede nating gawin," he added.

Rojas stressed that PCSO policy is that tickets must be in good condition to be validated.

"Hindi ko alam kung talagang kaya ng mga forensic experts," Rojas said. "Kinukuha muna namin lahat ng data para magpatibay or magpahina sa kaso ng claimant."

Strict guidelines for tickets

The PCSO follows specific guidelines in claiming prizes, which includes a "no ticket, no payment" policy. The ticket should also be readable.

Rojas said they imposed stricter guidelines to discourage fake claimants from trooping to their office.

The outlet where Mendoza bought the ticket confirmed that a certain ticket with the winning combination was bought from them.

Homosexuality for Vatican

Pope Francis leads a mass honouring the canonisation of two Canadian saints in St. Peter's basilica at the Vatican on Oct. 12, 2014.


It's not the big shift people think it is

The Catholic world and the media were riled Monday by a Vatican document interpreted by many as signaling a softer church stance toward homosexuality, but the inclusive tone of the document is a long way from actual policy change.

At issue are three words most people have never heard of: Relatio post disceptationem. That’s the name of the document the Catholic Church’s Extraordinary Synod of the Bishops released Monday, one week into the Synod’s gathering to discuss the state of the family in the modern world. It translates, “Report After Debate,” and it was read aloud in the Synod hall to kick off the Synod’s second week. One of the report’s 58 sections—the one causing the biggest stir—is titled, “Welcoming homosexual persons.”

“Homosexuals have gifts and qualities to offer to the Christian community,” the passage begins. “Are we capable of welcoming these people, guaranteeing to them a fraternal space in our communities? Often they wish to encounter a Church that offers them a welcoming home. Are our communities capable of providing that, accepting and valuing their sexual orientation, without compromising Catholic doctrine on the family and matrimony?”

For a Church that has historically linked the word “homosexual” with the word “sin,” the idea of welcoming gays in any capacity can appear to be a significant move. Headlines immediately spoke of a “dramatic shift” and a “more tolerant” stance from the church.

But before rushing to conclusions, everyone, on all sides, should calm down.

First, here’s what the document actually is:
The relatio is a mid-Synod snapshot of 200+ Catholic leaders’ conversations that happened in the Synod hall last week. It is a starting point for conversations as the Synod fathers start small group discussions this week. It is a working text that identifies where bishops need to “deepen or clarify our understanding,” as Cardinal Luis Antonia Tagle put it in Monday’s press briefing. That means that the topic of gays and Catholic life came up in the Synod conversations so far and that it is a topic for continued reflection.

Second, here’s what the document is not:
The relatio is not a proscriptive text. It is not a decree. It is not doctrine, and certainly not a doctrinal shift. It is also not final. “These are not decisions that have been made nor simply points of view,” the document concludes. “The reflections put forward, the fruit of the Synodal dialogue that took place in great freedom and a spirit of reciprocal listening, are intended to raise questions and indicate perspectives that will have to be matured and made clearer by the reflection of the local Churches in the year that separates us from the Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of bishops planned for October 2015.”

So, what does all of that mean? Cardinal Tagle perhaps said it best when he said at Monday’s press briefing, with a smile, “The drama continues.”

The relatio reaffirms at several points that marriage is between a man and a woman. Substance on that point is not changing. The Vatican has been repeatedly clear that this Synod will bring no changes to doctrine, or even a final document with new rites. To “welcome gays” does not mean the Church is no longer equating “gay” with “sin.”

Instead, tone—as it has always been with the Francis papacy—is what is on the table. The style that Pope Francis lives is one that starts with a spirit of embrace, of mercy, and not with sin. It begins with figuring out at what points embrace is possible before determining the points at which it is not. That may be one reason why people like top Vatican watcher John Thavis are calling this mid-synod report “an earthquake.”

But it is also important to remember that the Synod on the Family is almost a two-year-long process, and this snapshot is just that, a snapshot of one week in that process. There will be more such snapshot documents in the coming months. The conversation started earlier this year when bishops around the world surveyed their congregations about family life, it kicked off more formally last week with the gathering in Rome, next the bishops will take the conversations back to their communities, next summer there’s the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia (a traditionally conservative American diocese), and then finally next fall there will be the second Synod with even more bishops from around the world with even more discussion.

Looking for revolution can be misleading. It can mar the actual story of what is and what is not happening. Casual Vatican observers—especially those in the United States, where conversations about sexuality have a different trajectory than in the Vatican or in many developing countries—should be careful to not read into the conversation what they want to hear. The interest in a relatio, a relatively obscure document, does however point to another shift: people actually care about what a group of bishops is doing.

That itself, for many, may be a revolution.

Gov’t working to prevent Ebola spread in Phl

MANILA, Philippines - The government is exerting all efforts to prevent the entry of the Ebola virus into the country, Malacañang assured the public yesterday.


Press Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said all concerned agencies led by the Department of Health (DOH) have been tasked to monitor the spread of the virus.

Coloma said the DOH has laid out plans through a coordinated effort under a “multi-sectoral response plan.”

Coloma cited the recent holding of the country’s first National Ebola Virus Disease Summit in Quezon City.

The summit discussed interim guidelines for disease surveillance; notification and reporting of suspected Ebola cases; clinical management, including laboratory testing of specimens from suspected cases; and infection control.

The Philippines so far remains Ebola-free even if there have been 18 persons who may have come in contact with infected persons in Western Africa. All of them tested negative for the virus.

Health Secretary Enrique Ona has also designated the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM) as the “national referral center for emerging and reemerging infectious diseases.”  

“The RITM would be the center for research and testing where they would use the latest technology from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,” Coloma said.

Ona said they are looking for more sophisticated machines to easily detect and prevent the entry of Ebola in the country.

He said the DOH is ready to upgrade the thermal scanners if necessary.

Asia faces Ebola risk – WHO



MANILA, Philippines - With its bustling trade, travel hubs and armies of migrant workers, East Asia faces the risk of exposure to Ebola but is improving its defenses and may be more ready than other regions to respond if cases are diagnosed, according to World Health Organization officials.

Shin Young-soo, WHO regional director for the Western Pacific, told a news conference in Manila last Friday that East Asia has been a “hotspot” for emerging diseases in the past and has dealt with SARS and avian flu, so it is more prepared than other regions to respond after learning the importance of public education, strong surveillance and transparency.

 “All these travel, economic trade, and we have global hubs like Singapore, Hong Kong and the Philippines is sending a lot of work forces all over the world,” make it a possibility for the virus to reach East Asia, Shin said.

But “we are in a better shape than other regions,” he added.

The Philippines has some 8,000 workers in Ebola-affected countries in West Africa and 115 peacekeepers in Liberia.

Death toll passes 4,000

The death toll from Ebola has passed 4,000, while a Madrid nurse was fighting for her life yesterday as authorities worldwide tried to prevent panic over the deadly disease.

The WHO said 4,033 people have died from Ebola as of Oct. 8 out of a total of 8,399 registered cases in seven countries. The sharp rise in deaths came as the UN said aid pledges to fight the outbreak have fallen well short of the $1 billion (800 million euros) needed.

Authorities warned that hoaxes could trigger panic as a man was taken off a US flight by a bio-hazard team after he sneezed and reportedly said: “I have Ebola. You are all screwed.”

Top 20 Hottest Guys from the Philippines

No other country in Asia has such a culturally diverse past and present as the Philippines. What, you want proof? You better go back to working on your History—or better yet to reading this post (warning: uncontrollable screaming and giggling may ensue)! Three centuries under Spain, colonial decades with Japan and America and an open approach to other cultures spawned beautiful mestizos. Nevertheless, several others with strong Malay blood could be just as handsome… and hot!
As a tribute to the virile beauty of Filipino men, I made up this list that was frankly difficult to put in order! So to say, this was formed from opinions of a few (blushing, swoony) people and while your version might differ, there’s no denying that the demigods on this list are definitely heaven-sent to women.
(Disclaimer: The following pictures might elicit electric tingles in your body. That’s normal. But they do not belong to me or to this blog. All rights belong to their respective owners.)

20. Christian Bautista
profpic-xtian
 Why He’s Hot: Those dreamy, chinky eyes and sweet, sweet baritone voice! He is the type of guy a girl would definitely want to introduce to her parents over dinner. It’s not only because of his famous-balladeer status but because he really looks nice and classy!
Birth Date: October 19, 1981
His Story: Christian first caught public attention when he joined the now defunct Filipino singing contest Star in a Million. Though he only won fourth place in the finals, it was apparent from the beginning that was definitely star material with his swoon-inducing combo of good looks and pleasant voice. His fame reached neighboring countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. His critically-acclaimed local stage play roles earned him a top spot in the Singaporean musical drama series The Kitchen Musical.
CHRISTIAN
Sexiest Moments: Every dang time he sings! I don’t have a problem lusting after him in his crooning suit-and-tie self but come on, we don’t mind him singing shirtless either!
Love Life: He recently broke up with Romanian-Chinese Carla Dunareanu who was his co-star in The Kitchen Musical. If there’s excitement that went after sorrow with this news, that’s totally understandable.
 19. Erwan Heussaff
ERWAN!!
Why He’s Hot: Filipino-French Erwan comes off with a confident, mysterious persona one will never guess he used to weigh as much as 240 lbs. And this must be why his blog The Fat Kid Inside is highly successful: he’s a real charming guy who did have his own struggles. This Capricorn “will eat anything, really anything” and tries to visit three new countries every year. Such passion gives depth to this sporty, self-made chef.
Birth date: January 10, 1987
His Story: He seems to be turning down acting and modeling offers and yet Erwan still made a name of his own. And for someone who has a fast-rising sister (Solenn Heusaff) who is exhibiting marvelous potential in acting, singing, dancing and fashion, and has a superstar girlfriend (Anne Curtis), that is really, really something.
ERWANNN
ERWAN

Birth Date: March 24, 1990
His Story: Aljur is a product of the over-all talent competition StarStruck. Vying against thousands of aspiring artists from all throughout the country, the then 17-year-old Aries eventually got crowned as the Ultimate Hunk.

Birth Date: March 26, 1990
His Story: This half-Italian first came into the limelight when he was only an 11-year-old racer. He is a three time Karter of the Year awardee! Imagine this: a hunky figure slips out from a badass race car. Then as he removed his helmet, you find yourself staring into a handsome dude with a pleasant smile and sun kissed skin (so hot will melt your popsicle!). But he is not your usual jock; this sporty dude attended acting workshops in the New York Academy and pursued a B.A. in performing arts in musical theater in Columbia College in Chicago.
 Matteo-Guidicelli (2)
Sexiest Moments: Matteo can sweep any lady off her feet with just his wide, charming smile but it must be totally heart-stopping to see him run a marathon with a body-tight suit, sweat dripping from his angelic face to his muscular arms…  Hey, our imaginations can run (wild) too!

 16. Enchong Dee
enchong_dee-1
Why He’s Hot: He is a SEA (Southeast Asia) Games medalist! He used to be called halimaw (or monster) by his teammates because of his unbelievable speed. Besides, Enchong is notorious among showbiz authorities as one of the most hardworking actors. Doesn’t that discipline just turn you on?
Birth Date: November 5, 1988
His Story: Enchong only appeared as a guest in a talk show. The next thing he knew, he was already an endorser for big time companies such as KFC and Timex. But he’s too cute for billboards he eventually made it into the TV and silver screen and winning acting awards! With that warm, friendly disposition and eyes that disappear when he smiles, it’s easy to see how he charmed his way to become one of Philippine’s brightest stars.

  15. Richard Guttierez
richard1
Why He’s Hot: Also a host, a big screen matinee idol and a bankable endorser of numerous products and fashion line, Richard also shows interest in studying directing or producing. He is definitely more than just his ruggedly handsome face and his well-sculpted body…although we have a hard time reminding ourselves about that especially when staring into those pictures.
Birth Date: January 21, 1984
His Story: Richard’s father is an actor while his mother is a talent manager. In fact, Richard’s siblings are also into show business: he has a beauty queen sister and a twin (yes, that’s right) who is into hosting. Richard started as a child star and worked his way from supporting roles. His big break came when he played the lead roles of a series of fantasy dramas. Since then, he became a mainstay in primetime soap operas.
 richard2
Sexiest Moments: Though Richard’s latest movie Seductiondidn’t sell as much as he wanted to, this Capricorn was dauntless in engaging with erotic scenes in the big screen.  He did lots of passionate kissing and even showed off his butt! His courage to play the risky role is nothing short of sexy!
Love Life: Richard currently has a girlfriend who is rumored to have secretly given birth to his baby in another country. Hmmm… I guess we’ll have to wait and take it as “rumor” for now.
 14. Xian Lim
xian-2
Why He’s Hot: Xian is relatively a newcomer and what he has achieved is truly admirable. It must have either taken a really excellent feng shui or a really charming face, a striking personality and some good talent (this Cancer also plays the trombone and the classical piano). And I dare say it’s the latter!
Birth Date: July 12, 1989
His Story: Chinese-Filipino Xian only came into the limelight in 2009 but even then, all he got mostly were minor roles. It wasn’t until Binondo Girl, a primetime romantic comedy drama that he became a household name. His charm and chemistry with the female lead (and also rumored girlfriend), Kim Chiu was so explosive that fan bases almost literally sprouted overnight!
Xian-Lim-Sexy-Shirtless-054
Sexiest Moments: Shirtless Xian is the sexiest Xian! This Cancer has no qualms in showing his well-toned buns!
Love Life: Xian only had one serious relationship which lasted for four years. Oh dear goodness, this guy is a keeper! But celebration has got to be postponed because he is currently in an “exclusively dating” status with Kim. Whatever that means.

13. Gerald Anderson
 gerald1
Why He’s Hot: He’s also a newbie in the showbiz industry but Gerald shows tremendous promise. He exhibits incredible passion and versatility as evidenced by with his memorable roles: an military dude loving the same woman as his brother, a mentally challenged boy and a hit man (to which he volunteered to shave his eyebrows to suit the role). His recent movie On the Jobreceived a standing ovation during the Cannes Film Festival!
Birth Date: March 7, 1989
His Story: This half-American first captured the Filipino audience in 2006 when he participated in Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition. Though he only bagged third Big Placer in the show, something bigger was in store for him: a great acting career. Only a year after, he landed his first big role as a leading man in a drama series. His performance was critically-acclaimed and from then on, more offers for TV shows, movies and endorsements came pouring in.
 gerald-anderson2gerald-anderson-3
Sexiest Moments: Any dramatic moment when Gerald comes off as really angry or heartbroken is sexy. It just carries you away, you know. He’s that good. And then there are these shirtless moments of him…

  12. Jake Cuenca
 Jake-Cuenca-Bench
Why He’s Hot: This American-blooded dude is comfortable with being sexy… and that is perhaps the sexiest thing about him! He’s been wearing underwear in billboards and catwalks for as long as I can remember and his hotness just doesn’t cool down!
Birth Date: December 30, 1987
His Story: Jake also started out as a child star and became a face for commercials and print ads including Coca-Cola. He returned to mainstream television as a teen star but had to wait until 2008 to finally get his own primetime show Palos. This action drama showcased Jake’s action drama skills, his acting chops and his sexiness when it comes to hot physical scenes. No doubt he was cast into leading men roles after it.  Furthermore, Jake is also into boxing and mixed martial arts. He is also a football player for Team Socceroo.

Jake-Cuenca4

 11. Coco Martin
cocobench
Why He’s Hot: Coco has an Actor of the Decade award on his belt! But who would have guessed he once worked as a janitor in Canada? His persistence and patience only adds up to his disarmingly cute appeal! And not to mention those dark, low brows, chinky eyes and thin upper lip!
Birth date: November 1, 1981
His Story: Hailing from the province, Coco first appeared onscreen in 2001 but it wasn’t until 2006 when he won a Best Actor Award that he was plummeted into a higher level of stardom. He did a lot of independent movies which mostly dealt with risky, explicitly sensual roles and was eventually branded as the Prince of Philippine Independent Films. With such acting prowess, he eventually made it to the TV screen and became a household name. Currently, he has one primetime show after another, showcasing his capacity in the drama, comedy and action genres.
 coco2coco_martin20

  jericho1
Why He’s Hot: Jericho is a male Cinderella. And his story of rags-to-riches makes him a worthy prince of Philippine showbiz! The days of hunger and living in a makeshift shed are way behind him and all everyone sees is a hunk oozing with artistic talent and confidence!
Birth Date: September 22, 1979
His Story: From ordinary life and humble beginnings, Jericho is reputably one of the finest Filipino artists of this generation. He was a pizza guy and a private driver before he was discovered in a noontime show talent search where won the titular Mr. Pogi. As “pogi” means handsome, this dimpled, persevering guy totally deserved it! From 1995 up to the present, Jericho always has a show or a movie every year. And this guy is not resting on his laurels! In the past few years he’s been trying to establish himself as a singer and song writer, forming his band Jeans and releasing two albums, one of which contained all original songs written by him. In 2011, he won as best actor in the New Beach Film Festival for his first international film Subject: I Love You.

Why He’s Hot: This beautiful blend of Filipino, Spanish, German and Swiss blood can act, dance and sing! And those deep-set eyes and the tinge of sorrow in his face exude a mysterious, hopelessly handsome appeal that makes girls scream their lungs out. No wonder he won the Sexiest Male in the Philippines title from a Starmometer online poll this year!
Birth date: March 30, 1992
His story: Enrique was 16 when he first tried out commercial modeling and musical theater. And his reason will both amuse and put us to shame—boredom! Fortunately, Enrique didn’t get bored with small roles and commercials because now he is finally landing one lead role after another! Just July this year, he was named Breakthrough Artist of the Year by Yahoo! OMG awards!

Sexiest moments: He claims in an interview that he feels sexiest when he dances. Oh, every girl who has seen him dance has to agree with that!

And when he frowns a little and bites his lower lip…

 8. Dennis Trillo
dennis1
Why He’s Extra Hot: This Taurus is widely acclaimed for his acting performances but unknown to many, he used to have a rock band. This guy can sing and play the guitar and the drums! He also holds a B.A. in International Studies. A nerdy rockstar, eh? Me gusta!
Birth Date: May 12, 1981
His Story: This beautiful blend of Chinese and Filipino blood first entered showbiz in 2000. He juggled small roles for four years before landing his first lead role in primetime. His heyday as an actor came as early as his first big screen debut! He received numerous best actor awards for his role as a cross-dresser inAishitemasu 1941: Mahal Kita. Ever since, he always has a stream of primetime shows to star in. Currently, he is playing a role of a homosexual in the first ever gay-themed drama series in the Philippines. Still, Dennis’ virile sexy fire is not extinguished!
Sexiest Moments: Any shirtless moment! Dennis has this shy and slightly withdrawn aura that intensifies his sense of mystery. To see a glimpse of his sexy chest would be like slightly breaking his strict privacy.

 7. Tom Rodriguez

Birth Date: October 1, 1987
His Story: Half-Amercan Tom initially gained attention when he joined Pinoy Big Brother: Double Up, a reality TV show. He was too hunky and cute that he was signed to a contract right after he was eliminated from the contest. He appeared in numerous TV shows thereafter, slowly attracting fans with his super cute, dimpled smile. His biggest break would be perhaps the critically and commercially successful sexy comedy movie Temptation Island. Currently, he is portraying a married gay man in My Husband’s Lover alongside Dennis Trillo. Despite being a newbie actor, Tom handles the role extremely well! Gay or girl, neither could resist Tom’s sugary smile!

Birth date: November 10, 1982
His Story: Rafael was born to Filipino parents but was raised in Norway. It was through a well-timed vacation in the Philippines that he got introduced to showbiz. His mom had him audition and with the help of his heart-stopping high cheek bones, aquiline nose and perfect smile, he was launched as the new face of a top toothpaste brand.

This Cancer dude has more to him than just his fair skin and good looks and perhaps that was why he got discovered by one of the biggest networks in the Philippines. He’s got two Best Drama Actor and one Best Supporting Actor awards among other acting nominations to date. Launched as a mestizo teen actor, he was paired with numerous ladies but Diether’s hunkability and charm do  not wane at all.

Birth Date: January 12, 1977
His Story: Before becoming the Philippines’ “Ultimate Heartthrob”, even superstar Piolo has to start from humble beginnings. He was around since the early 1990’s but it was only in the 2000’s when Piolo became phenomenal. At this time, his love team produced a string of blockbuster movies and soap operas. But this award-winning actor has still more to give: he eventually released albums which went either platinum or gold. Later on he built his own film studio Spring Films which released the hit comedy movie Kimmy Dora.

PIOLO
Sexiest Moments: Piolo in steamy, romantic scenes! But either with clothes on or shirtless, this Capricorn sizzles with sex appeal you can heat popcorn while just standing a few feet from him. A straight male friend of mine once said: “When I accidentally saw Piolo, I almost turned gay.” True story!
Love Life: This mixed Filipino, Spanish and German breath-stopper has a teenage son but remains unmarried. Recently he is rumored to be dating Filipina actress Shaina Magdayao. But they’re just dating… and that still makes him a bachelor! And a really, hot one!

From native morenos to mestizos, these hunks are incredibly talented and stunning. But while their handsome faces and sex appeal are enough to make any girl scream with thrill, one has to remember that they are Filipinos, meaning, they are warm, friendly and caring! Turns you on a bit more, eh?
