Thirst was real in Manila this 2017, so it was good thing that there were a lot of hunks that brought the ulam.
1. ABS-CBN's Wildflower premiered in February and we were introduced to three hunks. First is Diego, who seemed to never be able to keep his shirt on in any episode.
Diego is played by Kapamilya actor Joseph Marco, who also disarms with his smile.
2. Then there's RK Bagatsing, who plays Arnaldo Ardiente, currently the sexiest douchebag on Philippine TV.
But how can you hate him when he looks so innocent?
3. Completing the Wildflower trio is Vin Abrenica. His character is Jepoy, a vindictive young man who's also allergic to t-shirts.
4. Who inspired Vin to lose his shirt? His brother Aljur, who returned to Philippine TV in August after a long hiatus.
He entered ABS-CBN's FPJ's Ang Probinsyano riding a horse half-naked.
5. Who else can't keep a shirt on? Kapuso hunk Jak Roberto, who earned the title "Pambansang Abs" because of his prominent eight-pack.
Pengeng pandesal.
6. Addy Raj was another hunk that got popular due to Meant to Be. Addy is Indian, but can serve you Greek god realness.
Addy walked the Bench underwear fashion show last November 18. He only wore blue briefs.
Same.
7. There were other scene-stealers in the Bench event. There was baby-faced Dominic Roque in green undies.
8. Rocco Nacino bared his butt.
9. We also got to wonder what Tom Rodriguez was packing in his pants.
Confeeermed! Walang photoshop! #benchunderthestars #tomrodriguez #benchunderwear #bench
10. One more thing we wondered about: when did Gerald Anderson turn into a total daddy?
11. Another unexpected daddy: champion figure skater Michael Martinez.
12. Another plot twist that made hearts skip was the reveal of Xander Ford last October. Guwapo.
13. Filipino runner Anthony Beram went viral when he made love to the camera during the live telecast of the men’s 200m finals competition of the 29th SEA Games in August.
14. Another Filipino athlete that made 2017 hot: Mark "Mugen" Striegl, a Fil-Am MMA fighter who won his bout in last August's URCC: XXX.
He was also a part of the Bench fashion show because he's an endorser too.
15. Throughout the year, we were all asking: does Piolo Pascual ever age?
16. And how is his son Iñigo as hot as him?
17. How about watching Sid Lucero play a priest in Smaller and Smaller Circles, and you found it hard to focus because he's just so pogi?
18. But all of these men are no match for Atom Araullo.
No one else comes close, really.
Let's hope we'll be as lucky in 2018. May we never be dry again.
