Lance Christopher has already appeared in commercials for Coca Cola, KFC and iCool Bubblegum, to name a few. But even before he became a face of these brands, he was launched by Star Magic as a part of its 16th Batch of showbiz hopefuls, together with Guji Lorenzana, Jubail (Alizon) Andres, Nico Ibaviosa and Enrique Gil. Now, close to two years after his launch into stardom, the handsome 19-year old will given the chance to not merely be an actor in a commercial, but be a lead in a new teen-oriented show. He is a part of ABS-CBN’s newest teen drama, “Gimik 2010″.

Gimik 2010, which will begin with a reunion of the original cast composed of Judy Ann Santos, Diether Ocampo, G Toengi, Mylene Dizon and Bojo Molina from the original “Gimik” show which aired 14 years ago, will tackle the lives of 12 individuals as they encounter problems faced by the teens of today. The fresh batch of actors from Gimik 2010 are Jessy Mendiola, Franco Daza, Kazuo Nawa, Jaco Benin, Kenji (Jiro) Shirakawa, Janeena Chan, Hanna Flores, Daniel Padilla, Albie Casino, Mara Montes, Marian Flores and of course, Lance. The show hits your television screens today, April 25, 2010 and will run for 10 weeks on ABS-CBN.

Two TV commercials for Cobra Energy Drink are currently airing. The older TVC entitled “Surreal”, has for its lead Costa Rican model Cesar Vargas, whom I featured in an earlier post. The more recent one (where the lead battles horned beasts), meanwhile, features another foreign model also named Cesar – Cesar Curti.

Cesar Curti is a 23-year old model who, like Akihiro Sato, Fabio Ide and Daniel Matsunaga, is of Brazilian and Japanese descent. However, unlike the othe three, Cesar has a more diverse modeling portfolio. He has modeled in Los Angeles, Cape Town, Berlin and other fashion capitals. He has appeared in commercials for a wide array of products ranging from face creams to cameras, to cellphones, beers and cigarettes, which have been aired all around the world. Aside from television commercial appearances, he has graced the covers of Men’s Health Malaysia and Germany-based Mate magazine, among others.

In the Philippines, Cesar has done commercials for KFC, Coffeemate, Nestea Fit and Cobra Energy Drink. He has also walked the ramp in fashion shows for international and local fashion brands. Currently, Cesar is in Hong Kong to further expand his modeling portfolio.

Aside from Enrique Gil, another hunk appears in the currently airing Lewis & Pearl cologne “The Real You Rocks” commercial. I’m referring to the tall guy who, apparently, is Enrique’s character’s bestfriend. His name is Miguel Patrick Masigan. I do not know much about this guy, except for the following facts: he recently celebrated his 21st birthday; he is a student at the University of Santo Tomas; and he participated in the Century Superbods Fun Run which was held last month. Care to share more info on this guy? Email me.

I like the Lewis & Pearl TVC a lot. Its storyline is simple and easily relate-able. I, personally, want to see how the lovestory between “Angel” and Enrique’s character progresses. I hope the guys at Lewis & Pearl are able to read this and consider making a series out of the said commercial. If this happens, it would serve as a springboard to Miguel’s, Enrique’s and the lead girl’s success in their television careers.

An avid reader of this site asked me to feature the guy from the Cobra Energy Drink commercial entitled “Surreal” (watch the video after the jump). Apparently, the reader has long been wanting to know more about the said guy but had a difficult time researching about him. Well, reader, here he is… The Cobra Energy Drink guy is Cesar Vargas Montero. He is a 27-year old model from Costa Rica. He represented his country in the 2008 Mister Manhunt International competition which was held in Seoul, South Korea and landed the 2nd Runner-up spot in the pageant.

Cesar started modeling in the Philippines in 2008 and since then has had a flourishing career. Apart from his lead role in the Cobra Energy drink commercial, Cesar’s notable projects include a feature in Cosmopolitan Magazine Philippines’ Bachelor Bash 2008 and ramp assignments for Bench clothing. And to you, reader, I hope this info helps.
