Netizens tag Derrick Monasterio 'His Royal Hotness' after daring underwear ad
It appears that netizens loved Kapuso hunk Derrick Monasterio's recent underwear ad where he stripped down to his undergarments.
The said project is the new summer ad campaign of the famous undergarments brand, Bench Body.
His fired-up photos were released last Thursday, April 15.
It was his first time to pose for the underwear brand, and although “nerve-wracking,” the Beautiful Stranger actor said that he was pleasantly surprised with the outcome.
Now, netizens tag Derrick as “His Royal Hotness.”

In an interview with 24 Oras, the actor said he is pleased that the public appreciates his hard-earned physique.
“Sobrang happy ako kasi na-appreciate nila 'yung hard work. 'Yun 'yun, e. 'Yun 'yung pinaka-highlight dun, e,” he said.
Derrick also shared that he was not aware of the details of the ad. He was just told about it upon arriving at the pictorial.
He then related that he asked his good friend and fellow endorser David Licauco's opinion about the endorsement. He admitted that he always asks David every time he is about to post daring or sexy photos on social media.
“Sobrang supportive ng tao na 'yon. Idi-DM (direct message) ako nun…kasi 'pag magpo-post ako ng something na medyo daring mine-message ko siya lagi. Sabi niya, 'Sige post mo mukha namang bagay sa 'yo, e. Bagay naman sa image mo 'yan 'yung mga ganyan,” he said.

In November, the fitness enthusiast transformed his old garage into a neon industrial home gym.
“Never in my wildest dreams I dreamt of owning a home gym. Been working on this project for months and with the help and expertise of the top interior/event designing company in the Philippines, Moss Design House, it happened. I'm speechless,” he said of his three-month-long renovation project.
