GIVE ME FIVE of your all-time showbiz crushes.
Lovi Poe, Rhian Ramos, Marian Rivera, Jessy Mendiola and Carla Abellana

GIVE ME FIVE words to describe yourself.
Shy, a thinker, clever, active and closet singer

GIVE ME FIVE actors or actresses whom you would want to work with in the future.
Carla Abellana, Marian Rivera, Janine Gutierrez, Dennis Trillo and Sid Lucero, though I’m already working with him (laughs)

GIVE ME FIVE random facts about yourself.
I sing in the shower. I sing really, really well, as in sobrang tuwang tuwa ako sa sarili ko. I sing at home a lot. I only sleep for four hours at a time. The only thing I spoil myself with is sleeping stuff like tea. Alam ko lahat ng tea to make you go to sleep. I am particular with my pillows. Wala akong preference [in undergarments] when I sleep. It’s either boxers or briefs or bare. It varies. That’s a naughty fact, I guess. I’m a great dancer. I’m a great ballroom dancer!

GIVE ME FIVE things you can’t live without.
My Bible, my friends, my running equipment, work and my pillow
