📓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.
