He sat there with a wide smile. The kind you can't miss from afar. But hey, there was nothing about this young guy you could miss even if he were standing a mile away! Ok. ok. Maybe a good six feet away.
Aljur Abrenica was seldom late for his classes. Despite his busy sked in his mother studio Kapuso GMA7, Aljur diligently attended his classes and was quite an attentive student.
I met Aljur in person for the first time during a Visualization class at John Robert Powers. He, along with other GMA artists, took Personal Growth and English courses courtesy of the Kapuso network who believed in developing their talents' potentials to the fullest.
The Abrenica boy struck me as humble, sincere and "totoong tao". He always greeted others with a firm handshake and had very good eye contact. He was poised and composed well beyond his years. He spoke his mind but was never too opinionated. I have been following his progress as an actor via his afternoon soap and I see glimpses of hope for this tyro who may yet emerge as one of the more important actors of his generation. His moreno good looks and earthy aura are sure ingredients worthy of a project that will finally showcase his true talents.
Tagged as a hunk man-boy, I can see this Starstruck winner taking on dramatic action roles in the near future. Nevertheless, I still hope he makes good his promise to pursue a college education and earn a degree.
Go for it, Aljur!
