Atom Araullo, beauty and brains
Atom was a child TV personality but is now a yummy-licious hunk — and not just any goodlooking hunk. He is the ultimate beauty and brains hunk. Read on, Atom is Manila Gay Guy’s hunk of the week! Oh, the sexiness of a beautiful mind!
Alfonso Tomas Pagaduan Araullo, better known as Atom Araullo (born October 19, 1982) is a television personality, sportsman, and activist in the Philippines.
He is the second and youngest child of Carol Pagaduan Araullo, a medical doctor and an activist, and Miguel Araullo, an engineer. Both of his parents were both activists during the Marcos regime. His elder sister, Sandra, is an Applied Physics professor in the University of the Philippines and is also a member of the Philippines’ triathlon team.
Araullo spent most of his early childhood days with his parents battling it out during the Marcos regime and dictatorship. This has exposed him to the political struggle in the country. During his early elementary school days, his parents exposed him to sports and the theater. He also joined various competitions as a triathlete. He also became part of several plays.
He also is a well-known television show host. As a child, he has been one of the anchors for the children’s show 5 and Up. At present, he is a regular host for the youth-oriented show Kabataan News Network (KNN), as well as Studio 23’s morning show, Breakfast. Atom is musically inclined and he knows how play the flute. He also is a talented writer. In fact, one of his essays won him a trip to Africa. Atom also loves photography and is often seen during rallies and mobilizations with his camera in handy.
Atom graduated from the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City in 2005 with a Bachelor of Science in Applied Physics. During his stay in the university, he has been active in political alliances and has served as a councilor in the university student council. He also was an editor for his college’s publication for a year. (Text from Wikipedia.org)

At this day and age, it doesn’t matter. It makes him actually more desirable since there is a cloud of mystery about his sexuality. Go pareng Atom! Pa-kiss!!

[…] When Beauty and Brains Atom Araullo was featured in this blog, some readers said it was an open secret in U.P. (where he graduated) that Atom is gay. Well, seems everyone in showbiz has been rumored gay so that is not so surprising. I remember one American visitor I met some years back — yes he’s openly gay — he facilitated a discussion in a corporate team of which I was a member of. During the break, I told him in such a hush-hush way that I was gay, and he said “I figured you’re too cute and too smart not to be gay!” That gave me a good laugh! I echo the same: Atom is so perfect, beauty, brains — he must be one of us! Hehehe! Well, so much for this, let’s just get on with shirtless photos of this guy. […]

Ang sarap ni Daniel Radcliffe ngayon. Binata na. Lalakeng-lalake na ang hitsura n’ya. Gone are the Harry Potter days.
(From Atom to Daniel. Why not. Hehe!)

i really admire his charm everytime i watch him in studio 23’s breakfast show… there’s just something sexy with his facial hair…
would anyone know how i could reach him? if he’s really bi, then maybe he would consider having an affair with an atenean…
