The best person in your life is the one who comes first in your mind after reading this sentence.

 Let go of those who bring you down and surround yourself with those who bring out the best in you.

 Your real strength comes from being your best you.

These past days, part-time Neil Namuag is busy posting positive quotes on his Facebook page.

“I just want to spread good vibes,” he told VRS.

Before, he graduated Information Technology at Bohol Island State University (Bisu)-Main Campus last March, Neil was hooked on many things-a student and part-time model.

Unknown to many, away from the glaring klieg lights and grinding cameras, Neil thinks about initiating change.

But what could a new graduate like him possibly do? A lot. Neil, the face of www.omg.com, is doing charity works. He has visited towns to distribute goodies and school supplies to schoolkids for US-based socialite Mikey Gatal.

“I love what I am doing,” he said.

Already, he’s making heads turn not only as a part-time model but also as a hunk,   he  was second runner-up in the controversial Rajah Sikatuna and first runner-up of ICM’s Mannequin 2015.

However, Neil has no plan to join higher male beauty pageants like the Misters of the Philippines (where fellow model model Ar Dela Serna was a runner-up)

“No need, because my experience from my past pageant was already enough for me,” he said.

He plans to build his own business together with his family.

A Taurus (April 25), Neil stands 5’11”; weighs 160 lbs.; and wears medium-size shirt, size-32 briefs and size-10.5 shoes.
