Faces of Ambibo: Patrick Adasa Nazario

PATRICK IN THE MIDDLE. Sandwiched between siblings, being the middle child is always a challenge. Not as pampered, no great expectations, they say. Chenkoy is neither of those. Look into those eyes and see burning will and determination. (Photos: Joem C. Bayawa)

    You will give Chase Crawford a run for his money! Or Brad Pitt for that matter, when you
    grow a little older…

  2. tita dits Says:

    congratulations for being chosen as one of the faces of ambibo! i’m very proud of you Chenks! i know you’re good looking, after all it runs in the family (mother side…hehehe), but i must say i’m impressed by these pictures! kudos also to the photographer…

  3. girlie Says:

    naliwat lagi ka sa imo mother!!

  4. Suzy Adriatico Says:

    Although I love my sister-in-law dearly, I would beg to disagree. You, Chinks, are truly your father’s son. I have watched you grow up here in the US, from a quiet, doe-eyed 6th grader, to a mature and responsible, though still quiet and reserved, young man. And what a great-looking one you’ve become, too……..just like your aunt (just kidding!). I am very proud of you.

    My kudos to Ambibo on a job well done, for bringing out the best and the brightest among ZN’s new crop of stars. The parents must, and should, be truly proud (p.s. from my dear hubby, instead of Person of the Year, he should just be the Faded Face of Ambibo).

  5. lola est Says:

    chenks, the whole family is mightly proud of you – not only for your good looks, (makes me wonder where those genes are coming from too), but for your down-to-earth disposition. lola est loves you very much and your equally good-looking bros. hey, talk of jonas bros …..

  6. chenky Says:

    thank you to all the comments !!

  7. UncleB Says:

    Love the black and white frame! The write up about you is absolutely spot on. Your eyes show a determination to succeed. Look at pic in Barong Tagalog. Let me think, which actor has the same intensity in their eyes, bamm, Denzel Washington!

    Rock on! We are very proud of you.

  8. Vancouver cousins Says:

    Hey Chenkoy, great to see you on this website that our mom visits every Monday evening. Good job on your basketball. Mom says we will see you next year in Memphis. That is so awesome!

  9. dipolog cuz Says:

    hey chenkoy, we are your cousins from dipolog.goodluck

  10. uncleM Says:

    you have grown as handsome as me.regards to your dad

  11. Auntie Zorayda Says:

    Hello there Chenkoy. Great picture! The Kuan clan is very proud to have you in this Faces of Ambibo…and what great expression on your face indeed. Keep up the good work.

  12. Maria Cyd Adriatico Says:

    Artista naman ka Chenks, among the three of you brothers, we really thought you are the least handsome, but now, it seems like you have become the “most”, I and your Tito Hector would always remember you as someone we can call if we have computer problems,and that little boy who would ride a bicycle to school, up to now, we keep figuring out what your route was whenever we take a walk passing Butler Middle School.You will have a long way to go and we are so proud that we have lived together in one roof in Oak Brook before you and your family moved to your Woodridge castle. Stay good and handsome, your parents must be right in installing a sophisticated alarm system in your house,”basig tabanun unya ka,maayo na lang nga mabantayan ka nila”, even if your Mom and Dad are spending alone time in their secret room(just the way castles are meant to be).

  13. Uncle Joven Says:

    Promising young man.

  14. AuntieLuch Says:

    There’s something about us middle children. We are like good wine….cheers!

  15. Uncle Pat Says:

    Chengkoy, life is a journey, but hey, with your good looks and determination, take in charge and be in control of the helm and you’ll be in smooth sailing. We’d love to see you all here in San Diego. Our love to the family.

  16. Auntie Maricel Says:

    Chenkoy! Pastilan dong, pagkaguwapo naman nimo. hilomon lang gihapon ka? ayaw kaayo ug palabi ka hilomon kay mapareha unya ka sa imong tatay nga “lady killer” adtong sa high school pa mi. kon sa bisaya pa: mamatay na lang ang babaye, wa pa gihapon ka ingon. bwa ha ha!

  17. dotcom Says:

  18. Tita Jean (Australia) Says:
