RYLE SANTIAGO renews his contract as endorser of Cherub Baby Care Products of Megasoft Hygienics. In his first contract that lasted for one year and 6 months, Ryle was able to do 30 shows for Cherub and visit many schools in various provinces throughout the country. Which ones are the most memorable for him?
“Una yung sa Negros Occidental kasi naging wild ang reception ng mga tao. Sobrang pinagkaguluhan ako at nagkasugat tuloy ako sa may leeg. Pero okay lang, kasi magandang souvenir yun ng warm reception nila sa’kin.”
“Naging tagaawat nga ako sa crowd,” says Aileen Choi Go, Megasoft VP for sales and marketing. “Pati hair ko, nahila. But doon ko nakita kung gaano kagusto ng tao si Ryle. Marami ngang schools ang tumatawag sa amin para bisitahin din niya.
"We love Ryle kasi napakabait niya, maganda ang masayahing personality and upbringing ng parents niya sa kanya. He’s a good example sa youth kasi kahit busy siya sa showbiz, he continues with his college studies bagay sa aming theme na School is Cool.”
Ryle is currently taking up filmmaking at Meridian International (MINT) College. He says he’s satisfied as Cherub endorser as Ms. Aileen is very generous to him. “When we had a show in Bohol, we were booked in a hotel na may white sand beach so nakapag-swimming ako. They always make sure I’m very comfortable. I really love doing shows for them as I just love performing.”
Ryle was with his stepdad, Chris Tan, at the signing of his renewal contract. Ryle considers Chris his real dad as he grew up with him since he was 7 years old.
“He was legally adopting me para maging Tan na rin ang surname ko but my real dad (Junjun Santiago), hindi pumayag, kaya Santiago pa rin ang ginagamit ko. But I had Tan tattooed on my arm to show how much I respect Daddy Chris.”
Ryle is now 20 years old and it’s common knowledge he wooed 19-year old Kira Balinger, who’s now in “Pamilya Ko”.
“Favorite siya ng ABS-CBN management and they can see she has a bright future. Niligawan ko siya, pero hindi naging kami. People around her think hindi pa siya dapat makipagrelasyon. So kung ayaw ng family niya at ng management, I have to respect that. I don’t want to get in the way of her career, but she remains to be a very special person for me up to now.”
He’s now being linked to GMA young actress Pauline Mendoza, who was linked before to Kapuso co-star Jeric Gonzales and is now also linked to Joshua Garcia.
“We have so much in common. Magkasundo kami sa maraming bagay. Mga bands na gusto ko, gusto rin niya. So, palagi kaming magkasama sa mga concert nila. Sabay kaming naghahabol ng gigs. Friends din sila ni Joshua. But I think it’s too early to say kung hahantong sa ligawan ang friendship namin. At this point, for me, love can wait. Nandiyan lang naman yan.
"As of now, gusto ko munang mag-focus sa work ko at sa pagiging endorser ng Cherub Baby Care Products that include their wipes, baby soap, powder and cologne na mga ginagamit ko talaga.”
