I'm sure, each one of us has a definition of the term "gentleman". Gentleman for me is the one respecting women and elderly. But for those who have voted for "The 2013 Elan Awards: The Search for the Modern Filipino Gentleman", it seems that impeccable style, inspiring achievement and high wattage visibility are the unique factors that sum up the irresistable figure.
Voting has began last June 17 in MCJIM Classic Leather Official FacebookPage, supporters have pushed the names Christian Bautista, Xian Lim, Dingdong Dantes,
Coco Martin and Piolo Pascual to the forefront, giving us a foretaste of a
heated competition among some of the most bankable celebrities today.
Coming
both from the Kapamilya and Kapuso networks, they each portray unique roles
in television and film and have
different strengths and talents but what draws them together is their self-confidence
that comes from having proven something of value.
Christian Bautista,
the “Asian-sation,” has established himself as a record-breaking balladeer not
only in the Philippines but in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. Now, he wears
the hat of an actor as the businessman Aston in the feel-good morning soap With a Smile in GMA 7.
On the other
hand, Xian, the new prince of primetime, has reached stratospheric fame with Ina, Kapatid, Anak. Now, he is poised to
test his box-office mettle in the romantic comedy Bakit Hindi ka Crush ng Crush Mo, which he stars also with Kim
Chiu.
Dingdong
Dantes, once declared as of the world’s sexiest
men, needs no introduction as he has starred in some of the most memorable
teleseryes of GMA 7. This actor proves that he has also the knack for producing
quality films, such as the blockbuster Aswang
Chronicles.
Coco Martin, the King of Indie Movies, proves that he has also
star power to shine in mainstream entertainment with his primetime hit, Juan dela Cruz.
Last but certainly not
the least is Piolo Pascual, the Eternal Heartthrob, who has won a grand slam
for best supporting actor, starred in ABS-CBN’s high-rating teleseryers, and
produced runaway hits such as the Kimidora
franchise.
In
a statement, McJIM Classic Leather commends voters for supporting the 2013 Elan
Awards:
“Our fans have exemplified good taste in supporting all of our 12
finalists, which are now led by these five handsome and talented men. What is
unique among them is that they are not afraid to push the envelope in their
respective fields. The competition among them is bottle-neck close. Just like those
who have voted and will still vote McJIM Classic Leather Official Facebook
Page, we are holding our breath in anticipation of who will bag The 2013 Elan
Awards.”
Voting runs until August 2 so it's not impossible that a black horse may emerge at the forefront and snatch the title from the shoo-ins.
Other
contenders for the plum title are Senator-elect Sonny Angara, chef and Internet
sensation Erwan Heusaff, big-band crooner Richard Poon, all-around heartthrob
Derek Ramsay, award-winning actor Jericho Rosales, star cager and host Chris
Tiu and football darling Phil Younghusband.
The 2013 Elan Awards: The Search for the Modern Filipino Gentleman judges are: high society columnist and late-night host Tim
Yap, My Husband’s Lover star Victor
Basa and rockstar DJ Sam YG.
They were able to introduce their picks under three categories: Elegance
of Style, Manners and Etiquette and Accomplishment.
The
Grand Winner of “The 2013 Elan Awards: The Search for the Modern Filipino
Gentleman” will receive a prestigious designer trophy, P100,000 cash for
himself, P100,000 to be given to the charity of his choice, and one-year supply
