Three On the Way to Stardom

After the threesome of Rico Yan, Marvin Agustin and Diether Ocampo, who will Star Cinema/ABS-CBN's Talent Center groom for stardom?

Yes: Leandro Muñoz, Jericho Rosales and Piolo Pascual.

Good choices, aren't they?

The three have the looks, the talent (as they've shown in various ABS-CBN shows), the public appeal and all the other requirements/qualifications for stardom.

After winning as 1998 Star Awards' Best New TV Personality and the Best Actor in a Single Performance, Jericho has become the excellent example of a matinee idol turned young dramatic actor. Versatility and depth are associated with the name Jericho Rosales and this he never fails to prove in his shows and guestings. One can never seem to tire watching Jericho on screen. His brand of acting evokes empathy from those who turn their eyes on him. Jericho also gets to slowly lead his contemporaries in the film industry with two movies under Star Cinema, Flames, The Movie 2 and Tanging Yaman.

With his sterling performances in ABS-CBN's top-rating shows, Jericho will definitely stay on the business for a long, long time.

Jericho Rosales – He has already proven himself to be an excellent performer in television (especially in his guest appearances in Maalaala Mo Kaya?). In Tanging Yaman, where he plays a son seeking his father’s approval and attention, he lives up to his reputation as a gifted actor.
