The New Chinoy Heartthrob in the Making!

Mr. and Ms. Chinatown 2013 is official done.

The winners was already announced.

I am so lucky to have an interview with

of one of the winners and actually one of

my top 5 choice to be the Mr. Chinatown.

The interview is not really a one-on-one personal interview.

It is still my pleasure to ask him questions

and luckily to get an answer from him.

WHO is HE?

He is Jerome Edward Dy Tan, a Management Graduate from Chiang Kai Shek College.

 The 1st Runner-up on the last Mr. Chinatown 2013.

This nice guy from Manila really gave a great fight on the last pageant.

He might be pressured on the Q&A. but I guess everyone 

will feel the same when someone will be on that position.
