My in-it-to-win-it favorite in the Mossimo Bikini Summit 2011 is 21-year-old Jan Derek “JD” Espinosa. The 6’3″-tall hunk with the bee-stung lips used to play for the Far Eastern University Baby Tamaraws. He’s the son of veteran broadcaster Ruth Abao.

Where in the world is JC de Vera? Have you seen him lately? A squeak, perhaps? Heck, he’s not even in the summer catalog of Bench Body, unlike in the previous years when he’s one of the lead models, shirtless. After his near-miss at the top in GMA, he’s nowhere in the pop meter these days.

If you’re a big supporter of cute and tiny contestant Renzie Ongkiko in the Mossimo Bikini Summit 2011, then this photo is for you. This was taken way back when he was just starting out to join shows and contests where wearing underwear is required. Renzie is one of the early favorites in the competition.

Already being highly buzzed about as the contender for the top prize in the Mossimo Bikini Summit 2011 is Filipino-Australian looker Kevin Donnelly. The 18-year-old cutie has been featured in some TVCs of late. Will he make it on finals night on 18 June 2011 at the Canyon Cove in Nasugbu, Batangas?

Leading men Dominic Roco [topmost] and JC Tiuseco dive into their sexy roles as the island drama Sisid premieres today in GMA’s afternoon block. JC is a pearl diver and Dominic plays a rich kid [role was originally for Ian Batherson, who is still in the cast] who also wants to go diving shirtless.

It’s Sunday, time for some old photo! This one’s taken 19 years ago when a young upstart with showbiz lineage burst into the scene in teasing Speedo shots. His name: Gary Estrada, a tall, dark and brooding 21-year-old who held some promise of being a matinee idol. He starred in sexy and action flicks then. He’s now a Board Member in the provincial government of Quezon.

Sexy isn’t he? This is 23-year-old male model Laxzy Rem Villar, who is now known as Laxie Villar. With his hot looks and bod, he can give the Brazilian and foreign models a run for their money. This 6’1″-tall hunk has done TVCs and runway jobs for A-list designers and commercial brands around the Asian region.

Will Nelson Banzuela be good enough for the top prize in the 2011 edition of Mossimo Bikini Summit? He’s apparently one of the favorites in the bikini competition. The 22-year-old cutie is a newbie in the modeling world but he has already attracted the attention of talent scouts and agents for his boyish good looks and charm.

Boys look so much hotter in the summer
Take your shirt off in the water, pull me under
Oh, I must be dreaming
Oh, you got me singing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

– Jessie James, Boys In The Summer

Yes, him. Marco Morales. The frontal nudity guy. The One. He who makes it a point to do the de rigueur penis-flap, flaunting in his movies. Well, there’s nothing new, yet. He has not done some indie gay flicks of late. In the meantime, here’s a scene from his international movie El Consul de Sodoma, where he shows a lot of skin. As usual.
