Veteran showbiz reporter and columnist, Jobert Sucaldito defended Vhong Navarro’s son, Yce who just recently joined the FPJ’s Batang Quiapo cast.
In his online program, “Oras ng Opinyon, Talakayan, at Diskusyo,” Jobert said that many netizens quickly judged Yce just because of his appearance on the poster published by Batang Quiapo.
While he cannot be compared to good-looking artists, like Gabby Concepcion, Jobert believed that Yce had his handsomeness.
Jobert also reminded the netizens that Vhong didn’t become famous due to his appearance.
“Nilalait nila yung bata, nilait nila yung mukha ni Yce, kamukha daw ni Vhong, hindi mukhang artista. Pero my god, tignan nyo naman yung mukha ng bata, infairness naman sa kanya. He has the looks, gwapo yung bata. May not be so gwapo as Gabby Concepcion pero may sarili siyang kagwapuhan,” said Jobert.
“Wag kalimutan ang nanay ng bata ito ay ang napakaganda na si Bianca Lapus. Si Vhong Navarro may not be so handsome as an actor but yun know ang entrance naman yung sa showbiz ay via pagsasayaw sa Street Boys,” he added.
Street Boys is a boy-dancing group that became popular in the 90s.
The columnist also said that Yce waited for a long time to become an artist.
“Years din yung hinintay pa niya kasi mag go signal si Star Magic ganun, noong una ay hindi ko talaga pinapayagan pero lagi kong sinasabi na darating naman talaga yung opportunity, ngayong tapos na siya sa college,” he stated.
