The Cutest Guys in Government
September 30, 2001 | 12:00am
Are good looks essential to public service?
Definitely not and this list is by no means an endorsement of the people on the list or their ability to serve the public well.
We just think that as we observe the tough and oftentimes dirty game of politics, we women can at least derive some pleasure from eye candy.
How was the list compiled? We interviewed a few journalists, some congresswomen and political watchers– all females, of course!
Here they are – the cutest guys in government:
The Finance Secretary is not only the best-looking guy in the Cabinet, he is the best-looking one in government. The former banker holds a Harvard MBA, is known to be a devoted husband and has six children.
Swoon Points: He never accepts a dinner appointment which does not include
Female reporters who cover the House attest to his "macho ang dating" and "nakakalaglag ng panty" sex appeal. But sorry girls, the congressman has been married to Badette Sison for 10 years and has four sons.
Swoon Points: He reads books like The Lexus and the Olive Tree.
A hall-of-famer handsome guy and the most eligible bachelor in the land since Aga Muhlach tied the knot, the Trade Secretary’s tall, dark, sexy looks are balanced by his intelligence and charm.
But he does have a rep for chasing anyone in a skirt (hello, Jessica Rodriguez!).
Swoon Points: Mar, if you settled down, you’d even be cuter.
The second-term congressman from Cebu is called "Santo Niño" for his boyish and innocent good looks.
Swoon Points: He is constantly on the phone with his wife of eight years and takes his eight-year-old daughter out on dates.
The well-dressed congressman from Marinduque did not realize the effect he had on women as they watched him on television exhibiting his glibness as spokesperson for the prosecution during impeachment trials. Intelligence definitely has its appeal. Unfortunately for us, he is also married to the beautiful Camille Sison.
Swoon Points: He dresses as smart as he looks and he holds master’s degrees from the Ateneo Law School and the Asian Institute of Management.
Definitely a man of the masses, the Congressman from Sorsogon is one of the most humble solons in the House.
Swoon Points: Another sexy nerd who can speak Tagalog like Balagtas.
This second-term congressman from Malabon is called the Hugh Hefner of Congress not only because he oozes with charm but also because he lives the life of the rich and famous.
Swoon Points: He’s into choppers, yachts, speedboats and water skiing.
The 32-year-old congressman from Bukidnon is most well-known for dating Vina Morales but he’s a looker himself. His mestizo looks give him a political advantage especially in this Tisoy-obsessed country.
Swoon Points: He is a partner in the very successful Tequila Joe’s chain which means he’s not a bad entrepreneur either.
We love him not only because he’s a self-made man who rose from selling fish to becoming one of the country’s most inspiring entrepreneurs or because of his key role in the former president’s impeachment but because he’s just one hell of a sexy guy.
Swoon Points: Tom Jones had better retire his hipsters when Manny dances to Sex Bomb.
The congressman from Tarlac is not only handsome but rich (he is the nephew of Danding Cojuangco), very intelligent (he has a master’s degree from Harvard Law School and topped the bar), well-dressed and is an officer and a gentleman (he is a lieutenant colonel of the Philippine Air Force).
Swoon Points: He’s a licensed commercial pilot.
With a name like Wimpy, you better be cute! The 25-year-old congressman from Bicol and Ateneo Law junior would even be cuter if he ditched the daddy dress code.
Swoon Points: He has no girlfriend and doesn’t really care about the way he dresses.
This first-term congressman from Valenzuela is tall, lean and has chinito appeal.
Swoon Points: He’s from Boston University and has had tough business experience running his family conglomerate – the Wellex group.
The 32-year-old congressman from Pampanga and deputy majority floor leader is a graduate of Harvard University, lifts weights, scuba dives and is very close to his mother. He is also an endorser for Caltex Delo. He donates the proceeds of this endorsement to his district.
Swoon Points: He loves Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings series.
Mike’s not your typical handsome devil but the Housing Secretary has an earnest charm, a sense of humor and principles that make girls swoon. Plus, the leader of the Spice Boys personally hand-carried the articles of impeachment and obtained all the signatures necessary to file it.
Swoon Points: He’s not bad at Trivial Pursuit, especially in the history category.
The 31-year-old mayor from Balanga in Bataan is so good-looking, people think he’s gay (he’s not). He has a complexion girls would kill for and lips worthy of a Chanel endorsement. He’s eyeing the governor position in 2004. All those applying for first lady of Bataan, better start campaigning now.
Swoon Points: He doesn’t have a girlfriend yet.
The congressman from Cavite is a graduate of Columbia University and was one of Channel 2’s best reporters. He is at his charming best when he serenades the public with Pinoy love songs. He is married to Georgie Roa.
Swoon Points: His rendition of Nandito Ako will put Ogie Alcasid to shame.
Definitely not and this list is by no means an endorsement of the people on the list or their ability to serve the public well.
