Enrique Gil: A Knight in Sweat Pants and White Shirt


All of us have dreams, have idols, and have persons that we look up to. Mine
tend to be Enrique Mari Bacay Gil V, commonly known as Enrique Gil, a young
man born on March 30, 1992 by loving parents Enrique Amadeo III and Barbara
Anne. He is second among three siblings.
I first started knowing about Enrique Gil when I saw him in the primetime
series, Princess and I, co-starred by Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla. Enrique is
not just an artist, but a very good one for that matter. He is also a dancer; I imitate
his moves every time I saw him on ASAP. He appeared on different television series
which I was not aware of because when these shows were airing I was not yet
interested because I was so young. The thing about Enrique is not just his talents
but his attitude in handling things and issues.
Enrique is not from any clans of big artists, his parents used to work for
Philippine Airlines. His mother was a flight stewardess while his late dad was a pilot.
The pedestal he was on now was not because of any star introducing him to various
directors or talent scouts but because of his perseverance and effort.
At a young age, Enrique submitted himself to queues to various commercials
and tv productions. He started acting in the summer of 2008, he enrolled in
commercial modeling and musical theater workshops conducted by Trumpets. And
his career started to boom. He appeared on movies such as Shes the One, Pieta he
Strangers, Must Be... Love, The Trial and lead roles in movies Just the Way You Are,
Everyday I Love You and Dukot.
He was not just a man of a good face and talent but I admire him more
because he joined the PETA campaign, Free Mali. Mali is the only captive elephant
in the Philippines and has been held in captive for the majority of her life. The
campaign seeks to transfer the elephant to Boon Lotts Elephant Sanctuary in
Thailand from Manila Zoo. His concern for the nature and environment is endearing,
giving me more reasons to adore and idolized someone like him.
He may not be a perfect person; he may appear in the news headlines with
lots of issues and accused him of doing things, but for me, Enrique Gil is enough.
Nobodys perfect and people has to live with that. I stand with Enrique Gil. I will
support him because for me, he is such an inspiration, that it takes sweat and hard
work to give the world your best. Perseverance is the key not just to your careers
success but also a key in giving your parents the best version of you.
