Changing models’ and actors’ names have been a regular occurrence in the industry. It has been practiced for innumerable reasons. Harry Chua, Jon Mullally and Marvin Wijangco changed their foreign-sounding surnames to easier-to-remember hispanized surnames when they entered showbiz. Now, the three are more popularly known as Harry Laurel, Jon Avila and Marvin Raymundo.

However, it seems that Carlo Atienza’s manager thought of the reverse process in order for his talent to gain more attention. He replaced Carlo’s surname with one which is more appropriate for his oriental look. Thus, the guy formerly known as Carlo Atienza has been newly christened as Carlo Ichiro.

From Aldwin’s accounts, Carlo’s new surname has been eliciting the positive response he expected.
