[edit] Student

Dino is taking his studies more seriously than perhaps his career in show business.

The Multi-media Arts sophomore at the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde is determined to finish the course at all costs.

He chose to major in Multi-media Arts because, according to him, he likes to be in graphic design. He also likes to paint and do graffiti arts. He loves the arts so much that he has discovered a way of de-stressing himself: coloring books.

Dino knows the value of education and believes that it will be his fallback when all these things in show business shall have passed.

Besides his dream to finish a degree, Dino also wishes to put up a business. He plans to save money so that he can start a clothing line, a club, or a restaurant. Quite an ambitious guy, but he appears to be not just a dreamer but an achiever.

Right now, Dino’s short-term goal is to have a well-sculpted body. He does regular exercises because he wants to see himself on a billboard along Edsa with a real buffed body! “That will really make me happy!” he explains. And if given the chance, he also hopes to be a video jockey or a disc jockey someday.

[edit] Accidental star

Not many know that Dino was discovered by accident.

After a scheduled visit to the family’s dentist, he sweet talked his mother to take him to a burger joint.

“I wanted to test if my teeth were strong!” a smiling Dino recalls. While he was claiming their drinks, a stranger, obviously a gay man, came up to him.

“I thought I saw a ghost,” Dino says. “I was so afraid I ran back to where my mom was.”

To cut the story short, that chance encounter eventually led Dino to star in a number of television commercials.

Now, Dino is considered as one of the most sought-after product endorsers in the business. If you’re a motorist you wouldn’t miss his face along Edsa and other major thoroughfares in the metropolis as he is the face of PLDT myDSL. The same billboard is replicated in newspapers as full-page color ads, not to mention the television live-action version. He is also in that heartwarming Coca-Cola TV commercial about how families are drawn together by the soda drink.

More than the television commercials, the billboards along the highways, and the print ads, Dino is an actor dying to be recognized for his thespic skills.

“Ultimately I’d like to be known as Dino, the actor,” he declares unabashedly.

While he has appeared in just a couple of movies, particularly Shake, Rattle and Roll 8, he is very optimistic he’d be in more movies when he leaves his teen life and enter a more adult and responsible life.

Dino is glad that he’s in several shows on ABS-CBN, like the youth-oriented Star Magic Presents: Abt Ur Luv, Ur Lyf 2 , Love Spell: Ellay Enchanted and Astigs: Hay Skul Lyf. With all these things keeping him in the fulcrum of show business, Dino doesn’t complain.

[edit] Commercial

He was in the new campaign of Coca Cola about a family enjoying the world-famous soda. A series of four commercials where shown in South East Asian region. It was said that everytime it was being shown in different country, they are being paid. The another commercial ad was the PLDT MyDSL and it was a series of two-three commercials.
