Issai Villafuerte, Philippines' Ice Princess

Philippines is a tropical country, would you believe we have a 13 year old Filipina ice skater who bagged 20 medals, 11 gold, six silver and three bronze medals after competing for three months in the USFSA recently? She is no other than Anna Isabel Villafuerte, also known as Issai from Bicol, Philippines and the granddaughter of Camarines Sur Congressman Luis Villafuerte.

Last year, Issai became the first Philippine-born ice skater to qualify to compete in the United States Figure Skating Association (USFSA) after undergoing a series of rigorous tests conducted by the USFSA. This year was her first year of competitive events.

Philippines already have a representative in the next Winter Olympics slated for Vancouver, Canada in 2010. Issai, now tagged as the Ice Princess started skating at the age of 8 at SM Mega Mall. I wonder if she also skates at SM Mall of Asia. I want to see her in action.

Wow! I’m impressed, this will surely place him more to his already blossoming movie career. I haven’t seen the footage of Bench Blackout Denim and Underwear Fashion Show 2008. Let me share his videos below…

… and his Medicol commercial

I like the commercial more… sexiness is in his personality not on his muscled body alone. But I love his abs! And indeed another proud pinoy.
