Enchong comes clean

Enchong Dee

ABS-CBN Star Magic artist Enchong Dee believes in living his life healthy and free from all kinds of vices.  He is the epitome of clean living but for him this sometimes can be challenging.  Enchong says, “Sa showbiz at modelling, it’s hard to sustain a healthy lifestyle kasi puro puyat at junk food.  Atsaka mahirap maghanap ng time to relax or exercise.” 

But good health has always been important to Enchong.  Before he became one of local showbiz’ heartthrobs, Enchong had a swimming career at De La Salle University in Manila. He was part of the Philippine national swimming team and has participated in the SEA Games and 2006 Asian Games.  “Kapag inalis mo sa akin ang swimming, it’s like you’re taking a very big part of me away.”

That’s why he makes sure that regardless of his busy schedule, he finds the time to exercise.  There are days when he comes home from taping Maria La Del Barrio at 1:00am, but he will still force himself to get up early and jog at 9:00am.  His dedication to sports is apparent when you enter his house and see his wall of medals and trophies.

“When it comes to my diet, I make sure that I eat healthy too.  Once someone told me to eat all different colors of fruits and vegetables a day because each color has different vitamins and nutrients that my body needs.  Kaya lagi may fruits sa bahay and I make sure na ang meals ko laging may gulay.”

For many clean-living folks like Enchong, good health begins with a daily dose of color, be it green, purple, red, yellow or white!  Find out how Enchong Dee adds color to his like in Episode GREEN.  Catch the exclusive video we caught of Enchong as he attends a press conference, a few rehearsals and some bonding time with fans. 

“I don’t smoke, wala akong bisyo.  Clean living ako and this is because I want to be a good role model to people my age.”
