Toronto has contributed a few talents to local showbiz, including Ariel Rivera, Vanessa del Bianco, singer Bong Chavez and Michelle Bayle. Is there room for one more?
Okay, then, let’s welcome Shacel Faraon, 18, who was named Maharlikang Pilipino 2003, beating 46 other equally handsome and talented aspirants. Standing 5’9" and weighing 170 lbs., Shacel first won the Toronto counterpart of the annual Maharlika search and competed here as that city’s representative, with the other winner scheduled to also compete in the Bodyshots contest here.
Shacel is a showbiz material, now being managed by Joey Gosiengfiao. He has the looks and the talent (can sing and can dance and, with acting ability that can easily be honed by a workshop). Any company interested? Paging Regal’s Mother Lily! Star Cinema’s Malou Santos! Viva Boss Vic del Rosario, Jr.! Seiko Boss Robbie Tan!
Born in Calauan, Laguna, on May 22 (a Gemini) to Sally Taningco (a nurse) and Hector Faraon (a nautical engineer), Shacel, whose name was derived from his parents names, and his two siblings spent their growing-up years first in the United Arab Emirates where their parents worked and then in Toronto where they are now based. Shacel finished grades one to four in the UAE, and grades five to eight and high school in Toronto where he’s now a Nursing freshman at the George Brown College.
Dreaming to follow in the footsteps of his idol, Aga Muhlach ("I love the way he looks and his decent image"), Shacel won six other special awards at the Maharlika contest (Mr. Personality, Mr. Photogenic, Most Flawless, Maharlika ng Gabi, Face of the Night and Mr. Striders Shoes).
