“Gen Z’s heartthrob” is what L’Officiel Hommes Philippines called Kapamilya actor Donny Pangilinan, whom they have chosen to grace the cover of their first edition.L’Officiel Philippines is the country’s edition of a French magazine that has been in existence since 1921. This October 2022, the publication debuted L’Officiel Hommes Philippines, which is dedicated to highlighting menswear in the country.

Their first edition “is dedicated to the young and unafraid”, and they see that Donny fits this description to a T.“From fashion to family, Donny Pangilinan’s disarming earnestness makes you feel at ease,” said the magazine about Donny. “But you’d expect nothing less from Gen Z’s heartthrob aka ‘Internet Boyfriend’ of choice.”“For the 24-year-old’s ‘always online’ fanbase, looks won’t quite cut it if you’re problematic,” it added. The publication recognized Donny’s go-getter attitude, the type who finds happiness in the present yet looks forward to the possibilities yet to come. Though he came from showbiz royalty, being the son of actress Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan and grandson of Tony “the James Bond of the Philippines” Ferrer, Donny worked his way up from being a MYX VJ in 2016 to being the matinee idol that he is now. His tandem with actress Belle Mariano was welcomed wholeheartedly.
