After having won the first runner up title in the Be Bench: The Model Search, Haroun “Ron” Morales has been getting big breaks from his mother network, ABS-CBN. Immediately after the competition, he was included in the male eyecandy sing and dance group, Coverboys, of the Kapamilya Network’s ASAP ’08. And now, he appears as one of the cast members of the must-view action serye, “Palos”.

In the action series “Palos”, Ron plays the role of Aldo, a technology wiz and one of newest breed of secret agents of Neptune (a covert government agency which handles cases that the existing military and police forces cannot resolve). He is a member of the team of five top agents who take turns in handling Neptune’s assignments. Completing the five are: Bangs Garcia, Jay-R Siaboc, Be Bench: The Model Search female grand winner Regine Angeles and the hunky Jake Cuenca.

His appearance in one of the big-budgeted teleserye offerings of ABS-CBN this 2008 could be a sign that things could only get better for Ron. He even overtook Be Bench: The Model Search grand winner Carlo Guevarra in getting meatier roles despite the fact that he was only first prince in the competition.

Could the likelihood of him being groomed for leading man status be beyond arm’s reach? I think not. He shows a lot of promise as an actor and his already huge nationwide fanbase only proves that he can make it as a big star.
