Daniel Padilla among 'Ginoo ni Daragang Magayon 2014' candidates

Advertisements
Daniel Padilla is among the official candidates of Ginoo ni Daragang Magayon 2014, an annual search in the Province of Albay.

Not the celebrity Daniel Padilla, but a guy who has the same name as the country's most popular male teen star.

And here he is.......

I wonder how it feels like for this guy from Catanduanes having the same name as ABS-CBN's hottest teen property Daniel Padilla.

There are good and not so good things about it (especially if you don't have the same face as the star Daniel Padilla), but I'm sure it feels great, say for example in the "Ginoo ni Daragang Magayon" pageant, when many people scream every time his name is called.

Does having a "Daniel Padilla" name help him win the pageant, or at least place in the finals?

That we have to see. He has many competition. It's gonna be a tough challenge.

Have a look at the 20 official candidates of Ginoo ni Daragang Magayon 2014:


1st Row - Aries Gian Pelo, Carl Andrey Espinosa, Cedrick Oximina, Clint Richard Peralta
2nd Row - Dan Angelo Soloria, Daniel Bato, Daniel Padilla, Emmanuel Esmer
3rd Row - Gian Ben Calderon, John Carlos Algery, John Mark Musni, Jose Dexter Valenzuela Jr.


1st Row - Joseph Xavier Pili, Joven Nuyda, Levi Martin Leron, Mark Miko Mendoza
2nd Row - Nathaniel Ednalaga, Rey Mark Almario, Richard Bagasala, Ronilo Aguilar Jr.
