Sef, as he is oftentimes called, is a 21-year-old alumnus of both Far Eastern University and De La Salle University. He might be one of the wolf cubs in this year’s searing pack of auctionees, but he’s definitely one to look out for.

Unbeknownst to most, there’s another side to the Sinulog Festival we’ve all grown to love. Take away the vibrant tints and the resounding drumbeat and you’ll see the vulnerable and fervent side of this week-long fe...

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?

His brand just consists of the simple, finer things in life. Traveling is right up there among his top-tier interests, b...

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 Jean Natividad You'll need to keep up with this sexy (not to mention sizzling) CPA. When Mr. Gay World Philippines 2016 2nd Runner-up Khalil Vera Cruz isn't crunching numbers like it's nothing, he's either training to sing and dance for the country's first Filipino gay band, exploring foodie hangouts, doing home improvement work, traveling, or binge-watching his favorite crime investigation shows.

He tells us, "I think the sweetest thing I have done for someone I liked was when I decided to return to Manila wi...

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.
