The story of hotshot discovery (HD) is nothing new in showbiz circles. When he was starting out, HD was just one of the boys in the talent pool of a network. He played supporting roles in non-primetime shows, thus his exposure did not generate much interest. It was only after a real life drama that HD got involved in, that somehow the public got to notice him. His co-participant in the drama, a promising female lead (FL) was forced to take a break from showbiz as a matter of course. As thus, it was HD who got suddenly thrust into the limelight. People became curious of him. But given that, still, HD was dismissed as ordinary because he did not possess the matinee idol looks - hunk body and an acting potential of a serious primetime lead.

Alas, all those weaknesses took a 180- degree turn when HD left his network and transferred to another. Overnight, his name became hot and suddenly, he exuded a certain appeal that was quite the opposite of the shy image in his previous home. He started showing off his body in provocative shoots. He became visible in magazines and other media. In less than a month, he had gotten significant roles in drama tv projects. And in no time, came his biggest break in the top drama series of the network.

And not too long ago, HD won an acting award for a movie. The award came from one of the prestigious award-giving bodies such that winning the recognition added another feather in his cap, so to speak. However, during his acceptance speech, HD did not acknowledge FL and their love child. In his interviews regarding the award, there was no mention of the significant people in his life. Viewers dismissed his behavior as a result of the network war because FL, who is the mother of his son, works for the rival station. Rumor has it that a top executive instructed HD not to mention them. Otherwise, he will lose his projects. Consequently, HD is bearing the brunt of criticisms for all of these indiscretions. HD had no choice, he had to endure lest he loses the perks being handed down to him by a top network executive. As to how this will entirely affect him and his personal life, only he will be able to tell if the end justifies the means.
