Make Way For GMA's Newest Boyband '3Logy' With Jeric Gonzales, Jak Roberto & Abel Estanislao

GMA ARTIST CENTER is launching a new boyband: 3logy, composed of Jeric Gonzales, Jak Roberto and Abel Estanislao. They just recorded their first single, “Maybe It’s You”, which the three young actor-singers composed themselves. It will be used in the rewind of “Ako si Kim Sam Soon” and GMA Records will later release it on I Tunes for digital downloading. A music video is also in the works. The three boys were chosen by GMA Artist execs and handlers from their roster of young male stars.

“Pinagbotohan daw po lahat ng young actors at kaming tatlo ang nakuha,” says Jeric, the eldest at 22. “We all sing but we underwent training with our coach, Zebedee Zuniga, who taught us how to enhance our harmony and blending.”

Jeric is the male winner in Protege and has done both TV soaps (“Pyra”, “Strawberry Lane”) and movies (“Hustisya”, “Dementia”). He’s already a nursing graduate when he joined Protege. How does he find working with Jak and Abel?

“Dati ko na silang friends kaya maganda agad ang bonding namin,” he says. “Si Abel, nakasama ko na before sa ‘Teen Gen’ and si Jak naman, nakakasama ko sa mall shows. Pareho rin kaming produkto ng Ginoong Laguna. Ako, noong 2013 at siya, 2012.”

He used to be paired with Thea Tolentino, the Protege female winner. But Thea is now in the long-running “The Half Sisters”. “Swerte nga niya, tuloy-tuloy ang show nila, halos one year na. Magkapareha pa rin naman kami as the new endorsers of Boardwalk for their casual denim and T-shirts.”

Jak is John Rommel Roberto in real life, 21 years old, an HRM graduate and a regular in “Master Showman”. He has done movies like “Asintado” and the anti-bullying advocacy film, “Potpot”, now being shown in various schools and universities. His last soap was “With a Smile” with Andrea Torres.

Abel Estanislao is 19. He was taking up sports education in UP when he joined “Teen Gen” but is now enrolled online taking up business management. His moreno good looks remind people of the young Richard Gomez. After “Teen Gen”, he was cast in other soaps like “Maghihintay Pa Rin”, “Villa Quintana” and “The Half Sisters”. “Usually, best friend ako noong bida, like Andre Paras in ‘Half Sisters’,” he says. “Now, kasama rin ako sa bagong soap na ‘Healing Hearts’ with Kristoffer Martin.”

His dad is related to the Ilagans of showbiz and cousin of the late Jay Ilagan and Janno Gibbs, while his mom is a cousin of Dexter Doria. His showbiz crush is Kylie Padilla and he hopes to work with her someday.

Watch out for 3Logy as they sing and dance their way into your hearts soon.
