High quality Angel Locsin pics. Angel Locsin would like to you to forget about the Bench Blackout Fashion Show and think about her Folded and Hung pictorial instead that will be the staple in all stores and billboards.. After a yet another stormy issue thrown at her recently with the Claudine Barretto issue, what could be next for Angel Locsin.  Angel Locsin ’s well-publicized and very public verbal tussle with Claudine Barretto, could it be that part of it is because Claudine Barretto also endorses Folded and Hung before her entry?

Super Bench Blackout Underwear Fashion Show frenzy, if not mania! lol..The Bench Blackout Underwear and Denim Show was a success with celebrity galore from the audience to the catwalk. Spotted in the audience were power couple Kris Aquino and James Yap, Annabelle Rama and Eddie Gutierrez, Georgina Wilson, Janno Gibbs, Bing Loyzaga, etc..while the celebrity endorsers of Bench were in full force in walking the ramp like Richard Gutierrez, Dingdong Dantes, Sam Milby, Diether Ocampo, Richard Gutierrez, Zanjoe Marudo, Enchong Dee, Nancy Castigleone, etc.., some in denim jeans shirtless and some in underwear. The highlight of the event undeniably is Dingdong Dantes. Notable too is Sam Milby who looked buffed.

Richard Gutierrez is the first endorser of Flawless’ The Real Gentleman (RG) collection. First local brand to put out grooming products for males. And Richard’s first ad campaign for the RG collection has a tagline, “Real Men Wear Pink.” Charoz..I bet..hahaha..just ask Raymond..In all fairness, the owners of Flawless explained why the color Pink. “Pink has always been the color of Flawless and generally perceived to be a predominantly female territory. With this launch, we are making a statement to everyone that pink is also a gentleman’s color and Richard is the perfect pitch for Flawless to stress that idea,” said Flawless Chairman Ruby Coyiuto.

Other Flawless endorsers are Judy Ann Santos, Lorna Tolentino, Yasmien Kurdi and Mark Herras. Dr. Vicki Belo is Flawless’ medical adviser and consultant.She was represented in the Richard Gutierrez Flawless launch by daughter Cristalle Henares.

Angel Locsin graced the opening of Folded and Hung in TriNoma on June 21. Of course, she was mobbed in the mall. I actually got an invite but i didn’t go, because i will be mobbed too, just kidding.. In the invitation they sent out Angel Locsin is seen with no top on and is presented as the newest endorser of the Filipino fashion brand (See photo below). Angel Locsin replaced Claudine Barretto as endorser of Folded and Hung while of course the big showbiz intriga is that rival Marian Rivera replaced Angel Locsin in her Jag Jeans endorsement.

Meanwhile, Becky Aguila, Angel Locsin’s manager said, “I just want to make it clear that Angel is not competing with Marian. She minds her own business. For whatever commercial projects Marian’s been getting, I’m sure Angel is happy for her.

O dabah! How sincere, lol..She said it before Lobo ended. Becky further explained that, “Angel right now is so engrossed and concentrated in Lobo. She doesn’t have the time to dwell on petty issues being thrown at her. Intrigues are part of showbiz life. What matters the most is the network and advertisers’ trust and confidence with Angel. Management’s [ABS-CBN] highly satisfied with her performance in Lobo. Happy rin sila sa commercial loads ng Lobo.”

Dingdong Dantes is the first celebrity male endorser of Gran Matador. Dingdong was chosen because of his staying power in Philippine Showbiz. Dingdong Dantes was only 17 when Viva introduced him in “TGIS” which became the defining teen show of his generation. From that time onwards Dingdong can be considered as the most successful member of TGIS. For all these Dingdong is grateful. “I’m really thankful dahil tuluy-tuloy ang career ko and I feel that it’s only now that my career is reaching its peak. Kung before, teen idol lang ang tingin sa akin ng tao, now, they look at me as a more mature romantic leading man, thanks to my role as Sergio in “Marimar” and as Fredo in `Dyesebel’. Through the years, I was also able to invest in some businesses, like my own production house and investment company, and the Centerstage KTV on Timog Rotonda,” Dingdong said.

Dingdong is also happy that despite a successful career, his lovelife with actress Karylle is also doing well, a feat in Philippine showbiz. Normally, a good career meant an unhappy lovelife or vice-versa. Dingdong muses, “I’m really thankful that fans and viewers now know how to separate the private and public lives of stars like us.”

Gran Matador is all praises for Dingdong as well. “Bilib na bilib kami kay Dingdong as he’s a force to reckon with whether as an actor, director or businessman. He’s a man of character who’s decent and responsible. Gran Matador stands for excellence seasoned by time and that’s exactly what Dingdong is as he has learned to hone his craft in his 10 years in the business. Isa pa, pampainit ang Gran Matador and Dingdong is also very hot now kaya perfect siyang endorser namin,” says Nelson Elises, VP for Marketing of Gran Matador.

But it’s not all roses for Dingdong Dantes. He recently figured in a blind item where he was said to have picked up some girls in a fastfood. Dingdong didn’t deny that such an incident happened but he corrected that he didn’t get on with anyone. “I would say na ako nga yun [subject of blind item] and it was in Timog kung saan nag-burger kami. Late night or midnight na rin noon at hindi lang ako yung nandoon, I was with my cousin and my brother.

“What happened is that, yung kasama ko, gustong manghiram ng lighter. Pumasok yung mga girls, they are group of girls na…beautiful girls. So, nahihiya yung kasama kong manghiram kaya sabi ko, ‘Sige, ako ang magsasabi.’ So, ganoon lang yun. Definitely, walang playtime na naganap or something. Because yung mga girls, they look beautiful and decent girls. At hindi ako lasing or anything.

“Afterwards nga, dumating din yung mga kasama nila, some are guys. And it so happened pa na yung isang guy, I know him pa. Nakasama ko or nakatrabaho ko na siya before. So, you know, it’s purely healthy conversation,” Dingdong clarified.
