Get some kanin before you click. Because dala ko yung ulam.
Thirst was real in Manila this 2017, so it was good thing that there were a lot of hunks that brought the ulam.
Star Cinema
ABS-CBN's Wildflower premiered in February and we were introduced to three hunks. First is Diego, who seemed to never be able to keep his shirt on in any episode.
ABS-CBN
Diego is played by Kapamilya actor Joseph Marco, who also disarms with his smile.
ABS-CBN
Then there's RK Bagatsing, who plays Arnaldo Ardiente, currently the sexiest douchebag on Philippine TV.
ABS-CBN
But how can you hate him when he looks so innocent?
Those puppy eyes...
ABS-CBN
Completing the Wildflower trio is Vin Abrenica. His character is Jepoy, a vindictive young man who's also allergic to t-shirts.
ABS-CBN
Who inspired Vin to lose his shirt? His brother Aljur, who returned to Philippine TV in August after a long hiatus.
ABS-CBN
He entered ABS-CBN's FPJ's Ang Probinsyano riding a horse half-naked.
Classy.
ABS-CBN
Who else can't keep a shirt on? Kapuso hunk Jak Roberto, who earned the title "Pambansang Abs" because of his prominent eight-pack.
Jak became popular after being cast as one of the boys in Meant to Be, a hit GMA-7 series that premiered in January.

Pengeng pandesal.

Addy Raj was another hunk that got popular due to Meant to Be. Addy is Indian, but can serve you Greek god realness.

Addy walked the Bench underwear fashion show last November 18. He only wore blue briefs.
Same.

There were other scene-stealers in the Bench event. There was baby-faced Dominic Roque in green undies.

One more thing we wondered about: when did Gerald Anderson turn into a total daddy?
This cover for a fashion magazine last April made us want to call him oppa.

Another unexpected daddy: champion figure skater Michael Martinez.
He posted this photo in January and everyone was like: wtf, how did that happen?

Another plot twist that made hearts skip was the reveal of Xander Ford last October. Guwapo.
Too bad because he wasn't able to sustain his newfound fame.
ABS-CBN
Filipino runner Anthony Beram went viral when he made love to the camera during the live telecast of the men’s 200m finals competition of the 29th SEA Games in August.
The competition hadn't even started, but in this moment, he already won our hearts.

Another Filipino athlete that made 2017 hot: Mark "Mugen" Striegl, a Fil-Am MMA fighter who won his bout in last August's URCC: XXX.

He was also a part of the Bench fashion show because he's an endorser too.
He did several explosive push-ups on stage, like a bad ass.

Throughout the year, we were all asking: does Piolo Pascual ever age?

And how is his son Iñigo as hot as him?
I guess that's how genes work.

How about watching Sid Lucero play a priest in Smaller and Smaller Circles, and you found it hard to focus because he's just so pogi?
The crime thriller is showing in theaters this December.
TBA Studios
But all of these men are no match for Atom Araullo.
The handsome reporter made headlines in September when he announced that he was leaving ABS-CBN for GMA-7.
GMA-7
No one else comes close, really.
Do I even have to explain this?
GMA-7
Same, Atom, same. Thank you for your existence. <3
GMA-7
Let's hope we'll be as lucky in 2018. May we never be dry again.
