BJ Manalo - 842 votes

Time Out: You would never expect this 21-year-old Bench endorser to be a homebody. If BJ isn't on the hard court, you'll find him at home obsessing about his room. He's such a neat freak that he's got everything organized. Aside from basketball, BJ regularly attends his prayer group and helps non-profit organizations build communities around the country.
Slam Dunk: This De La Salle University point guard is crazy about no-fuss females. He's into down-to-earth firls who don't spend their time worrying about what dress to wear or what soes to buy. Eventually, BJ wants to end up with a girl who knows her priorities. For BJ, this means putting God before everything else.
3 Points: Top three on BJ's hotlist are his bible (he brings it with him wherever he goes), his f150 pichup ("I have a week's worth of clothes in the back") and his toothbrush.
Grand Slam: BJ's life is basketball. He's been playing ever since he learned how to walk; that's why nothing's going to stop this marketing management major from pursuing his dream, which is to play in the PBA. An important part of his future plans is to settle down and live simply with a loving family.
The Best Thing About Basketball Is: "I forget all my problems when I'm on the court. Most of the things I learned in life I learned through basketball. My most important lesson - there are no shortcuts in life."
