📓BOYS MEETS WORLD

Three very different kinds of COOL. Ron Angeles is the mainstream actor with undeniable screen presence; Tommy Alejandrino brings indie-film and theatrical credibility with a fashion-forward edge; and RJ Belarmino is the fresh new face turning heads in local pageantry as he makes his way toward modeling.

For this month's COOL BURN BOOK, we put them through our signature slambook—because beyond the looks, what makes a COOL boy is the personality, quirks, and little obsessions that make him unforgettable.

RON ANGELES

The Mainstream Leading Man

An actor, model, and social media personality, Ron Angeles has built his career across mainstream film, television, and digital entertainment. With his easy charisma and camera-ready presence, he's a natural fit for the spotlight.

His Burn Book: Black or pink? Absolutely. Coconut-milk dishes? Always. Batman? His superhero. Labubu? A growing collection that might eventually belong in a museum.

Influencer essential: Eyedrops is Non-negotiable.

Dream decade: The 1940s. A well-tailored man, minding his business at a jazz bar, being mysterious.

Skincare non-negotiable: Washing his face—and icing it.

Signature scent: Baccarat Rouge 540. Warm, a little sweet, but not too loud.

Beauty trend to bury: Thin fully bleached brows.

Workout anthem: 679 by Fetty Wap

What makes him COOL: “Honestly, I don't think I am. I just try to show up, do the work, and treat people decently — if that reads as 'cool' to anyone, that's a nice bonus, but it was never really the goal.”

TOMMY ALEJANDRINO

The Indie It-Boy

Award-winning actor Tommy Alejandrino moves effortlessly between independent cinema, television, and theater. A Theater Arts graduate and a distinctly expressive performer, Tommy brings an artistic sensibility to both his work and personal style.

And yes, he has the answers to prove it: tinted lip serum in the bag, baby cologne as a signature scent, and a serious dislike for the squiggly brow.

Influencer essential: Tinted lip serum.

Dream decade: The 40s (maybe Tommy and Ron met in their past lives)

Collection: Odd, fashion-forward clothing pieces.

Skincare non-negotiable: Petroleum jelly on the lips.

Workout anthem: “Animal” — KATSEYE.

Comfort rewatch: Mamma Mia!

Fave Video Game: Any Harry Potter RPG

What makes him COOL: “My perspective on life is what makes me cool. And of course, my idgaf attitude. I keep it real, I march to the beat of my own drum, and I'm generally a very heart-led typa guy.”

RJ BELARMINO

The New Face to Watch

Fresh from the world of local pageantry, RJ Belarmino is pushing toward modeling and stepping into the spotlight as one of the new faces to watch. With his own sense of style and youthful energy, he's ready to see where the next opportunity takes him.

Burn Book Deets: Fried Chicken, Tinola, Ice Cream and any shade of green. Ow, and he doesn't like people who chews loudly.

Dream decade: Late 20th century.

Museum-worthy collection: Coin Collection

Skincare non-negotiable: Washing face is a must.

Signature scent: Fresh and fruity.

Beauty trend to bury: Overly drawn-on brows.

Workout anthem: “Poker Face” — Lady Gaga.

Dream group: BINI.

Fave Super-Hero: The Flash

What makes him COOL: “When my outfit truly suits me.”

THREE BOYS. THREE VIBES. ONE COOL BURN BOOK.

Whether it's Ron's leading-man charisma, Tommy's indie edge, or RJ's fresh-faced ambition, these boys each bring something different to the COOL universe. This September, we're celebrating the personalities behind the looks—and the new generation of boys who are ready to make their own mark.
