MUST-SEE: Good-looking sons and nephews of politicians
These men have been known for their looks as well as their affiliation with politicians and political candidates.
Sandro Marcos
Bongbong Marcos and wife Louise Araneta's eldest, Ferdinand Alexander III “Sandro” Marcos, is making a lot of female netizens swoon as they enthusiastically describe the third generation heir of the Marcos family as a man with both “beauty and brains.” Aside from his brilliance in the academic field, Sandro is also an aspiring DJ. He goes to concerts and music festivals during his free time.
William Vincent Marcos
William Vincent Marcos is the bunso of the family. He is four years younger than his Kuya Sandro. Vincent, like his dad, is an avid fan of football. He even went to the game between Korea and the Philippines’ very own, the Azkals, with his dad and brother Simon last March. Simon, the second son of Bongbong Marcos, is currently studying in Oxford.
Luis Hontiveros
This ramp model is part of the Hontiveros clan. Luis is the nephew of Risa Hontiveros, and has also actively campaigned for his Tita Risa all throughout the election period in 2016. The then senatorial candidate even regarded Luis as her “talented pamangkin” during their time together. Aside from modeling, Luis also tried auditioning in 'StarStruck V' when he was 17 years old, but failed to make the cut. Still, thanks to his baby face coupled with his masculine physique, Luis became a Cosmo Hunk at the age of 22. He is into outdoor adventures and bearing his abs during photo shoots.
Jake Ejercito
The son of former president Joseph “Erap” Ejercito Estrada and actress Laarni Enriquez grew up to be one fine gentleman. Juan Emilio, or better known as Jake Ejercito, is into traveling, basketball (he's a huge Laker fan,) politics, great films, good books, concerts, and is in love with Tapsilog. He also runs a blog, unoemilio.com, which pretty much features his adventures and love for life. With an action-star for a dad and an actress for a mom, Jake also had his fair share of showbiz experiences: Jake has a daughter with his ex-girlfriend Andi Eigenmann.
Baste Duterte
Sebastian “Baste” Duterte won the hearts of the ladies with his bad boy image. Covered in tattoos while going around with a lip ring, the A.B. Political Science graduate of Ateneo de Davao proves that he's not a rebel without a cause. He spoke against the drug allegations in Davao. Baste also passed San Beda Law School's entrance exams. He, however, did not pursue the course and opted to follow his passion: surfing and his recycling business.
Paulo Roxas
Overachiever son of Mar Roxas, Paulo Roxas, already did a lot at his age. Aside from being one of his father's biggest supporters, Paulo also once worked “in a social development non-governmental organization” as a “microfinance loans officer.” According to Inquirer, the young Roxas was assigned to Montalban, Rizal where he personally interacted and researched on the locals' livelihood programs. He is also fluent in Mandarin, having studied the language in Harvard-Beijing Academy for business purposes. Furthermore, Paulo is part of the Araneta clan, and is the cousin of the Marcos brothers since the siblings are Mar's nephews.
Ryan Christian Recto
The son of actress-politician Vilma Santos, politician Ralph Recto, and the brother of actor-TV host Luis Manzano, it's no wonder that Ryan Christian Recto is not only good at speaking but one that is also full of eloquence and charisma. During his speech that went viral, Ryan showcased that he is indeed a politician in the making. As Vilma says, he does see that kind of future in Ryan. However, his son showed interest in both politics and entertainment, hoping to follow the footsteps of his mom and dad, and even his brother. But with such confidence and talent, it wouldn't be a surprise if he does pull off both.
Luis Manzano
Filipino actor and TV host Luis Manzano is the son of Edu Manzano and Vilma Santos, who both ventured into politics. Aside from acting and being his usually goofy self, Luis also studied Hotel and Restaurant Institution Management.
Brian Poe
Son of Grace Poe, Brian Poe, is an active campaign coordinator to his mom. He has worked and participated on countless advocacies. He also did talks on student leaderships, but now his audience grew from students to people of all ages. He once gave a talk during a program held by Gabriela for women's month. Brian was also once linked to cosplayer and Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition 4 Big Winner Myrtle Sarrosa, and actress Jasmine Curtis-Smith.
Emmanuel Pacquiao Jr.
The son of the boxing champion turned politician Manny Pacquiao inherited Manny's love for performing arts. Emmanuel Pacquiao Jr., also known as Jimuel can play a musical instrument. He is also described as “God-fearing and humble” by his fans.
Gian Sotto
