Feel the heat when this Coffee Prince walks the runway at Cherry Poppin' - The 3rd Party on February 25 at One Canvas Events Place in Makati (get tickets here: go.loveyourself.ph/cherrytickets ). Mark works his magic behind coffee shop counters as a barista. "I love making a perfect cup of coffee with my heart into it," he shares. In the kitchen, Mark will willingly and lovingly cook for someone he fancies. He is definitely drawn to handsome chinitos that are hardworking, tidy (especially at home), and just the right kind of clingy. If you think you fit the profile, we say bid for this guy. For a first date, he's up for something simple, like eating outside and watching a movie. Just don't be late or arrogant, or else you'll turn him off. His turn-ons? "He just needs to be himself and be proud of who he is," Mark says. Is he your cup of

By Joma Ragragio What’s in store for us this February of the new year? Perhaps a little gallantry care of this Romantic Businessman ?

The dashing entrepreneur won’t be there to talk shop—he will be marketing himself for a cause! And this is clearly a superior product on display. Even though he takes a guilty pleasure in eating (doesn’t everyone?), he clearly takes care of himself and burns off those calories at the gym. But he isn’t so obsessed about physical appearance, and the perfect partner for him is someone with a big heart who will bring out the best in him. His brand just consists of the simple, finer things in life. Traveling is right up there among his top-tier interests, b

By Jean Natividad Who says good guys finish last? Dreamy Boy Next Door Leo Icaro is first in our hearts.

Prove yourself worthy of his heart and he'll willingly introduce you to and make you part of his family.

By Gello Ganon Turn up the AC as this Cutie Cosplayer heats up LoveYourself's date auction event, Cherry Poppin' - The 3rd Party , on February 25 at One Canvas Events Place in Makati (get tickets here: go.loveyourself.ph/cherrytickets ). Still in his prime at 25, he works for a fine arts magazine. When he's not brainstorming ideas on sales and strategies, he lounges at home with a good movie and some popcorn. But he's definitely not your regular home buddy. If he's not breaking a sweat at the local gym to burn calories, he's out and about satisfying his guilty pleasure: travel. His wanderlust for scenic places that tug at the heartstrings says a lot about this marketing manager. Out of all the places he has visited, Barcelona, the historic capital of Spain, tops his list. With its hurried yet relaxed atmosphere, historical sites, and grand display of art and architecture, Barcelona is a city that swept this Cutie Cosplayer off his feet at first sight. So if yo

By Joma Ragragio Outrage! Scandal! Let’s not be too hasty! Social media starlet Kiko Arcilla may be bringing a hint of trouble to a lush lineup at LoveYourself’s date auction event for a cause, Cherry Poppin' - The 3rd Party , this February 25 at One Canvas Events Place in Makati (get tickets here: go.loveyourself.ph/cherrytickets ) , but we are sure to see him strip off his tough exterior on the rousing night ahead. This Filipino-Thai pilot-in-training and model is no stranger to any runway (nor to all eyes stuck on him), so we can expect Kiko to give us some sugar and a lot of spice at the party. The twenty-one-year old may take the licking on his controversial Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts, but is there a softer side behind this hard façade? Surely Kiko can’t be that much of a bad boy if his sweetest gesture is to whisper to his special someone “I love you,” right? He keeps it smooth and easy, working hard at his fitness, watching flicks, and taking a rowdy romp t

By Joma Ragragio From the mysterious Twitter alter underworld, one brave soul rises and will stand erect before us. BiggieXXL69 joins the ranks of our other delectable offerings up for bidding at LoveYourself’s date auction event for a cause, Cherry Poppin' - The 3rd Party , this February 25 at One Canvas Events Place in Makati . The twenty-year-old student’s face will be kept in the dark though, and will only be unmasked to the lucky date who manages to snatch him away at the party. If a count of 51 thousand followers is anything to go by, it’ll definitely be a heated fight for this boy. But don’t be fooled, there is quite a bit of substance to the social media star. Biggie loves to finger the keys on a piano, slap a shuttlecock around at badminton, and go at it hard with nine other guys over online multiplayer game League of Legends. If those aren’t enough, food factors very much into his equation of romance. Biggie enjoys discovering new places to eat, and a romantic candlelit d
