Every time we see our favorite stars on stage, we can’t help but gush and get starstruck by their charm, stunning visuals, and exceptional talent–-qualities that never fail to make us feel kilig. And just like us, our Kapamilya idols also have celebrities they admire and make their hearts flutter! They gamely shared their answers when asked, “Sino ang Pinoy celebrity na pinaka‑kinakikiligan mo?”
“What Lies Beneath” stars Eliza Borromeo and JM De Guzman spill the Kapamilya actors who make them swoon. JM mentioned his co-star in the series, Jake Cuenca, as the one who gives him that kilig feels. Meanwhile, Eliza admitted that “It’s Showtime” host Vhong Navarro has the undeniable charm that makes her blush---especially with his signature dance moves.
For “Roja” stars Kai Montinola and Kobie Brown, it’s talent and visuals that truly capture their hearts. Kobie revealed that Liza Soberano is his ultimate choice, while Kai shared that Lea Salonga has been her lifelong crush---from childhood to her teenage years, and even up until today. “She inspires me to do my best in every performance,” Kai added.
Our talented celebrity performers from “Your Face Sounds Familiar” also had some interesting names to share. Coach Nyoy Volante revealed that Alice Dixson has always been the one to make him swoon. Meanwhile, Jason Dy mentioned JMielle, JM Dela Cerna and Marielle Montellano. “Kinikilig ako kapag nakikita ko sila lagi, parang… sila na ba? Kapag nagpe-perform sila, laging nakakakilig. Even off-cam, ang sweet nila sa isa’t isa,” Jason quipped.
Meanwhile, our Kapamilyas from “ASAP” named today’s biggest stars who never fail to make them flutter. Jane Oineza chose none other than her real-life partner, RK Bagatsing. As for Sofronio Vasquez, he mentioned OPM icons and real-life couple Regine Velasquez and Ogie Alcasid. He shared how seeing the two both on and off cam makes him feel kilig, “Nakakakilig talaga sila. Even as they celebrate 15 years of love, parang kahapon lang sila naging boyfriend-girlfriend.”
The Ultimate Performer Vina Morales named two heartthrobs from different generations. As a longtime fan of the Megastar Sharon Cuneta, Vina recalled swooning over Gabby Concepcion back in the day. She also mentioned Kapamilya actor Piolo Pascual---everyone’s ultimate crush.
Donny Pangilinan proved to be a true kilig source for many. His close friend and Kapamilya host Robi Domingo even answered Donny’s name---showing a photo of him straight from his phone. Bong Gonzales also picked Donny, admitting he’s been a fan since 2017 up to now. Meanwhile, Esang De Torres joined in, naming Donny as her ultimate source of kilig.
Quite different from the others, Miggy Jimenez named Filipino athlete Alex Eala as the one he truly admires, even saying that she’s the reason tennis is now gaining recognition in the Philippines. And lastly, Kat Galang shared that longtime crush Jericho Rosales makes her kilig, proudly recalling that she had already met him before.
