The dancing heartthrob of Caloocan City, Roehl is actually my first bet Mr. Pogi before Bonz Militar and Kelvin Engles. I happened to watch his first appearance on Eat Bulaga where he danced TURN UP THE MUSIC by Chris Brown. Like he's so amazing and such a great dancer which I think where he excels the most. I was saddened however when he did not made it during the semi-finals but was relieved when he returned as wildcard together with Bryann Carlo Jaofrancia and Manuel Pablo Tonido where they all won on a triple-tie.

Roehl do the WIGGLE

The "WIGGLE" word was recently on some post by his fans. I think this was associated to him when they dance I'M SEXY AND I KNOW IT on an episode of Eat Bulaga specifically before D'Kilabots Mr. Pogi Weh?. As always, I was amaze on his dancing prowess(You can't always see such good-looking guys who dances very well these days). But of course, all the members of the Mr. Pogi HUNKS are such great dancers.

Probably the hottest member of the Mr. Pogi HUNKS, Kelvin never ceased to make his fans feel the "kilig" in every performance his in. At first, I didn't notice how handsome he is during the competition(since it was only during the grand finals week that I saw him on Eat Bulaga) but as time goes on, I was carried away and made myself not only as a BAMster but a KELVINatic as well. He first showcased his talent for singing(he's so sexy when he sung THIS LOVE by Maroon5) but also showcased his dancing abilities after the competition. My most liked performance from Kelvin was when they danced I'M ALL YOURS by Jay Sean together with Mr. Pogi HUNKS Roehl Mendoza and Akeem Aldover before the start of the D'Kilabots Mr. Pogi Weh?.

What's not to like about KELVIN?

Seriously I haven't got any idea how someone could not like him. His got the looks, the talent, the charisma, those killer eyes, a smile that could make someone feel the butterflies, and that approachable attitude towards his fans. He's just perfect.

Mr. Pogi #12: Bonz Andre Militar

The Edward Cullen of the BAMsters(fans group), Bonz is such a prince charming in the making. I happened to remember the first time I saw him on Eat Bulaga, I was like "O pwede! Pogi! Crush ko na to! Hahahha". I mean come on, he's so handsome and a very good singer as well(really love the song WHERE EVER YOU WILL GO when he sung it during the pre-judging). He was indeed on my top 3 Pogis that I think would make a placement during the Grand Finals(the other 2 was Kelvin Engles and Rommel Galido) but sadly, they did not gain any. But that's OK, I really love that Eat Bulaga made all the Mr. Pogi appear on the show even after the Grand Finals. 

#kiligtotheBONZ

Haha, I happened to the agree with Paolo Ballesteros when he first mentioned "Kilig to the Bonz" on a Friday episode of Eat Bulaga. It does suits Bonz a lot because he brings "Kilig" to all BAMsters especially during his every performance on the show may it be if he's singing or dancing.

Eat Bulaga, the Philippines' longest running noontime show launch its search for the country's next TV Heartthrobs last June of 2012. The search aims to discover talented and handsome guys that will eventually bring "KILIG" to all televiewers. A new twist in the segment let the guys showcase not only their talent but their acting prowess as well plus the fact that they would have to think of a look-alike artist which soon rise to the phrase: "Gulat kayo no? Kala niyo si Robert Pattinson 'tong nasa harap niyo no? Nagkakamali kayo!".

The search lasted about 4 months and had its search not only from the Metro or Luzon but also in Visayas and Mindanao. The search ended last September 5, 2012, having Frederick Lim II and Marcus Paolo Reyes as grand finalists coming from the province of Zamboanga. Initially, there were only 13 Mr. Pogi grand finalists but the wild card edition soon aired the next day with Roehl Mendoza, Bryann Jaofrancia, and Manuel Pablo Tonido winning in a triple tie. 

The official Grand Finalists was then introduced last September 7, 2012:

#1 Chryst Josef Almazar from Sta. Rosa, Lazuna

#2 Kelvin Engles from Sta. Ana, Manila

#3 Robert Jbeili from Pangil, Laguna

#4 John Edric Ulang from Binangonan, Rizal

#5 Franz Akeem Aldover from Valenzuela City

#6 John Paul Duray from Olongapo City

#7 Roehl Mendoza from Caloocan City

#8 Bryann Carlo Jaofrancia from Dasmariñas, Cavite

#9 Rommel Galido from Iloilo City

#10 Mc Jonel Abrenica from Cebu City

#11 Justin Merck de Jesus from Talisay City, Cebu

#12 Bonz Andre Militar from Davao City

#13 Jaylord Casiño from Upper Balulang, Cagayan de Oro City

#14 Manuel Pablo Tonido from Camaman-An, Cagayan de Oro

#15 Marcus Paolo Reyes from Zamboanga City

#16 Frederick Lim II from Zamboanga City

The week before the Grand Finals, the guys did a series of production numbers and had their pre-judging last September 13 for finalists 1-8 and the day after for finalists 9-16 with Mr. Pogi 2006 Edgar Allan Guzman as one of the judges.
