RICHARD GUTIERREZ
The Man: After starting out as half of a popular child-star duo in the '80s, Richard decided to shed his baby fat and donned the Mulawin wings that shot him to stardom. The once-innocent kid has turned into a serious showbiz celeb with throngs of adoring fans.
Trademark: His ability to sell fantasy and make it look good
He says: "[Acting] has always been there...I started enjoying it; I started looking at it as a craft, as an art, so nag-iiba na yung perspective ko."
ROBIN PADILLA
The Man: Having experienced tough times for embracing his "bad boy" tag both on and off-screen, Robin evolved. Over the years he has learned patience and strict discipline through martial arts, and embraced a faith that, he admits, has helped him change for the better. Amidst all this, he still remains a charmer with ageless looks that can pull the ladies in.
Trademark: His bad boy persona
He says: "Talagang malaki ang pagkakaiba ng kabataan sa meron ka nang nalaman. Pero kung ano yung pinaglalaban ko nung kabataan, yun pa rin naman ang pinaglalaban ko ngayon. Nagkataon lang ngayon ay hindi na napupunta sa usaping karahasan."
DOLPHY
The Man: At 81, the undisputed King of Comedy still has it. Although he might have lost his youthful intensity, his wit is still as sharp as when he started. It's his rich experiences in the industry and in life (not to mention his experiences with the many, many women he's been with) makes him a living legend—“a king who truly deserves his crown.
Trademark: His own brand of timeless comedy
He says: "Masasabi kong complete na ang nangyari sa buhay ko. Wala na akong hihilingin pa kay Lord, sobra na yung biyaya at tagumpay na ipinagkaloob niya sa akin, eh. Dagdag na lang ang hinihingi ko, bonus na lang."
