While he’s surely able to charm a lot of girls (and girls at heart!) with his previous stints in several programs of ABS-CBN Studios through the years that he’s been in showbiz, talented heartthrob Brent Manalo has indeed gone on to win more hearts over when he became one of the Kapamilya housemates of “Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition.”
And it was through joining the reality show that we were able to get to see and know the real him beneath his ‘cold’ façade. Thus, he and his final duo partner, Mika Salamanca, were able to make it until the end of the competition and even snagged the “Big Winner Duo” title.
He may have been in the industry for quite some time, not to mention that he stayed inside Bahay ni Kuya for more than 100 days, yet that seemed to be still not enough for us to know him deeper. But he got us covered, as he shared 10 facts about himself in this episode of “Atin A10 Lang.”
As we all know, the “PBB Collab” housemates underwent “hotel arrest” prior to entering Bahay ni Kuya. And Brent confessed that it was actually his first time to experience being quarantined his entire life.
Since the “Gentle-Linong Heartthrob ng Tarlac” has a pretty common and popular surname, it’s inevitable for many to assume that he is perhaps affiliated with celebrities and famous figures that bear the same last name as his. But he clarified that he doesn’t have a consanguineous relationship with any of them.
He then went on to recount having chicken pox, or bulutong, during his graduation when he was in Grade 6, as well as show the scar on his left palm that was caused by a shard of shattered glass bottle.
Aside from being naturally good-looking and impressively fashionable, another thing that would make us say “sana all” to Brent is that he doesn’t perspire easily. At the same time, we quite feel sorry for him upon knowing that he has motion sickness, which could be a challenge for him whenever he travels.
Just in case you wish to make this handsome and cool Sagittarius happy on his birthday that falls on December 6, then know that his favorite viand is beef caldereta.
And lastly, many were indeed able to relate when Brent mentioned that he’s the eldest among four siblings and that he’s been living all by himself ever since he was 15.
Now that more people are able to appreciate him more following his victorious “PBB Celebrity Collab Edition” stint, we’re looking forward to seeing more of Brent in Kapamilya shows and films!
