AJ Perez was hailed as the Cutest Boy of the Philippines or so it seemed in the annual poll of Candy Magazine, a magazine geared for teens and tweens alike. In its 100 Candy Cuties for September, AJ Perez tops the initial list. The poll lasts until the end of the year. Last year’s initial Candy Cutest is Dino Imperial but was eventually overtaken by Pinoy Gossip Girl Sam Concepcion.

Tempo had a story today about the so-called Dino Imperial scandal that it says is no scandal. Of course, it is not a scandal in the magnitude of the scandalous things that happen to todays celebrities. But nakakainis na kasi ang sobrang daming damage control publicity about the incident. Yes, this Dino Imperial scandal happened in this very blog. It was a scoop, that everyone copied in their blogs, newspapers, etc..but, hello? kailangan bang ipagpilitang smack lang ang lahat at girlfriend nya yung girl. You all know the truth. So, to let things straight, sabi nga a picture speaks a thousand words. Ayan judge for yourself if it was really a smack. The lest they could do sana is to keep quiet. Nagsasanga sanga lang ang PR. Yes walang dapat ikahiya si Dino but sana lang PR department should not be so defensive.

Here’s the TEMPO story and like the stories that made the rounds of tabloids and newspapers, smack lang daw, and this is not the first time na dinedeny ang story, as if there was no picture to prove.

Dino Imperial scandal is no scandal

Kasama si Dino Imperial sa mga April celebrators na ipina-presscon ng Star Magic. He turned 20 last April 9 at isang bonggang foam party celebration ang ginanap sa Prince of Jaipur sa The Fort, Taguig City. Ani Dino, talagang nag-effort siyang gastusan ang kanyang birthday party dahil namaalam na siya sa pagiging teenager.

Puno ng foam all over the place na talagang wet and wild ang kanyang well-wishers na mostly ay close friends. Special guest ni Dino ang kanyang non-showbiz girlfriend. Aniya, some of his friends took pictures at ipinost ang mga ’yon sa kanilang personal blog spots. May ilang nag-lift ng pictures at nire-post ang mga ’yon bilang “The Dino Imperial Scandal” sa internet.

Kasama du’n ang picture na naghahalikan sila ng kanyang non-showbiz girlfriend. Pero ayon kay Dino, smack lang ’yon. May mga shots na partying moments at may isang nakahiga si Dino sa sahig in a sea of foam. “It was all fun. Nag-enjoy lang kami at wala akong dapat ikahiya,” ani Dino.

Dino Imperial wet and wild night on his 20th birthday party in Prince of Jaipur at The Fort. It almost also went into a Dino Imperial scandal, see photo of Dino Imperial lip-locking in wild abandon a party girl. I guess it is one thing to celebrate a birthday as a nobody than be a celebrity, if you’re an up and coming matinee idol, discretion is a must. And in Dino Imperial’s case, he turned it in his Dino Kilatis fashion, a wet and wild night as he turned 20.

Dino Imperial broke up last year with his girlfriend partly because of her jealousy to Empress Schuck. But the way Dino Imperial has been partying wildly, i don’t think Empress Schuck will entertain an off-screen relationship.

The cute PLDT MyDSL guy, and of course the Coke guy and several other endorsements guy, lol, that is, Star Magic’s up and coming talent, Dino Imperial stirred the media’s imagination when he attended the presscon of his new tv show, Volta: The Series. Volta: The Series stars Ai Ai Delas Alas as Volta redoing her role in the hit 2004 movie, Volta.

Dino Imperial plays 220, the son of comebacking super hero Volta. By showing up in his superhero character 220 costume, Dino Imperial had the press all agog with excitement. What caught the press’ imagination is the prominent bulge in the superhero costume.

Dino Imperial when asked by the press why he has that swell size blurted out gratitude to his Spanish blood, “Thanks to my father and grandfather!” as his explanation. He even remarked, “I notice people looking down but I’m definitely not complaining.”

In fact, Dino Imperial is proud of flaunting his big bulge saying, “We’ll, it’s not my fault to have a bulge like that.”

ok..hehehe..
