The Guam-born actor and model officially became a Kapuso in 2012 and has since delighted viewers in several of the network's highly-acclaimed series and teleseryes including "Dahil sa Pag-ibig," "Sahaya," and "Magpakailanman."

His dramatic acting also garnered spectacular reviews, manifesting in the 2013 romance "Sana Dati" where he starred alongside Kapuso actress Lovi Poe and actor Paulo Avelino.

Benjamin, however, is not just a gaze-worthy leading man.

He graduated summa cum laude in English Literature at the University of Guam. He was also named ambassador of the prestigious GMA Network Excellence Award (GNEA).

Game for more projects with GMA Network, the Kapuso actor said he remains "humbled and honored na, after all these years, they...still believe in me and they let me grow as an artist and also as a person." — LA, GMA News
