10. Richard Poon
Where you've seen him: Around. This singer-songwriter has been spotted singing in concerts, lounges, even weddings. He once guested on Pinoy Dream Academy (2006).

It's not serene good looks that made us stand up and take notice of this Filipino-Chinese crooner. There are two ways to any Filipina's heart—a sexy singing voice and through her stomach. Fortunately, Richard can do both, thanks to skills inherited from his mom, a former star in Taiwan, and his dad, a Hong Kong-based restaurateur/chef. The accomplished jazz singer is also somewhat of a romantic. A Cosmo.ph article quoted him saying: "I have a sister and I always tell her, 'I love you and it may be hard nowadays but go for a man that can commit to you even at the darkest times of your life.'" If he follows his own advice, then we may as well throw ourselves at him now.

9. JC Tiuseco
Where you've seen him: Survivor Philippines Season 1 (2008), Bench Fashion Shows, Kung Aagawin Mo Ang Lahat Sa Akin (2009)

Those washboard abs amplified by that megawatt smile is just the icing on this beef cake. After parading his on-court skills as a significant member of the San Sebastian Stags, JC went on to prove that he was the most rugged of them all when he bested 15 other contestants in the first season of Survivor Philippines. This management graduate has also recently added acting and modeling credits to his name, in addition to hosting the morning show Unang Hirit. Is there anything he can't do? Well, if he decides to enter politics, we'll be sure he's out to take over the world—which isn't surprising considering he's taken over the hearts of many women.

8. Hayden Kho
Where you've seen him: Usually beside his long-time lady love, Vicki Belo

Scandals aside, this man is objectively hot. Tall, attractive, and articulate, we don't question why so many women were enamored by his dazzling charms. While we're not condoning his—er—carelessness, we like how this ex-physician turned his life around amid controversy. From most notorious love doctor to up-and-coming perfumer, Hayden is one foxy debonair—in more ways than one, we might add.

7. Joseph Yeo
Where you've seen him: On Basketball TV. He has played for basketball teams like the Sta. Lucia Realtors, the San Miguel Beermen, and currently the Petron Blaze Boosters

Apart from his “animé” vibe, fancy footwork is what keeps our eyes on Joseph Yeo every time he's on the court. That and his delicious broad shoulders. Dubbed “the ninja” by basketball experts, Joseph can usually be counted on to give more than a hundred percent when he's playing. An Interaksyon article even described the Petron Blaze Boosters guard as “exactly the kind of guy who can put (the team) over the top. He can be the difference between a good team and great one, a contender and a champion.”

He's also a family man: his children serve as his inspiration. The former La Salle cager had a career-making season (average of 13.5 points and 3.6 rebounds) after his first child, Mariana was born three years ago.

6. James Yap
Where you've seen him: This decorated cager has had a slew of off-court activities. He endorses Cathy Valencia's dermatology services and Sun Life Financial, among others.

What is it about this B-Meg guard that has girls going gaga over him? It may be his towering height, his quiet appeal, or his darn good physique, but we're betting it's his grace on court that has everyone really looking. He can make even the most complicated plays look as easy as 1-2-3. Though this hard court heartthrob has his fair share of bad rap, he is definitely our MVP.

5. Chris Tiu
Where you've seen him: Man vs. Beast and Ripley's Believe It Or Not (host); Smart Gilas basketball team (captain); as well as commercials for Oracare, Greenwich, Milo, among others

Do we even have to explain? Should we start with his boy-next-door good looks? His double college degree? His athletic prowess? Chris Tiu is the (gorgeous) full package wrapped up and tied with a neat little bow. To the heartbreak of many young women out there, however, Chris has been with the same girl for as long as anyone can remember. Loyalty? Check. Doesn't that just add to his appeal?

4. Dennis Trillo
Where you've seen him: Darna (2009), Dwarfina (2010)

Dennis Trillo—how do we even begin to explain why Dennis Trillo is cute? We can't quite put a brand on his appeal. While his fresh-faced good looks radiate a certain boyish charm, with the right expression (not to mention an appropriate amount of facial hair) the one-time rocker can also easily warp into a brooding bad boy. From clean-cut to controversial, no wonder he's won three Best Actor awards.

3. Enchong Dee
Where you've seen him: Katorse (2009), Mara Clara (2011), Maria la del Barrio (2011-2012)

This heartthrob's friendly smile can easily make anyone swoon. It's his boy-next-door aura that's irresistible to any age range. As one of the top actors of his generation, Enchong has made a name for himself in drama and comedy acting. Thanks to youth, reasonably good genes, and natural talent, Enchong's success in the ‘biz is a cinch. Of course, a great physique helped, too, not to mention the hundreds of swimming medals and trophies he's won for the country.

2. Richard Yap
Where you've seen him: My Binondo Girl (2011-2012), Chowking commercials

If the name Richard Yap doesn't ring a bell, it's because most of his fans call him Papa Chen, after his character in the recently concluded hit soap opera, My Binondo Girl.

It was difficult to choose between the two MBG patriarchs but after much discussion, we had to give it to the breakout star. After years and years of being the chef in Chowking commercials, Richard finally upgraded to play millionaire restaurateur Chen Sy. And his chinito charms have not gone unnoticed as he confessed in a MBG press conference that women have come on to him. Fortunately for his wife, he's one loyal guy. “I tell them that I'm married already. So, it's not possible.” His newfound status as a DILF has also had no effect on his humility. During the press con, he says he remains levelheaded despite the novel fame.

Watch Richard Yap fire up a wok here.

1. Xian Lim
Where you've seen him: Katorse (2009), Rubi (2010), My Binondo Girl (2011-2012)

Part-Filipino, part-Chinese, and part-Spanish, this American-bred budding star is as culturally diverse as he is ethnically ambiguous. That chiseled jaw, his rosy skin, the perfectly tousled hair, those washboard abs: we can go on and on describing his physical features but we're afraid that we won't have enough space to enumerate his other achievements. Xian is an accomplished musician (he can play several instruments); an occasional singer; and a basketball player (he was a former UE Warrior). With his looks and talent, we don't doubt that he'll go far.
