Crush ng Bayan! Manny Jacinto’s Pinoy-Coded College Grad Pic Has Everyone Swooning

Nov 12, 2024   •   Kyzia Maramara

Manny Jacinto will always be a legend for Filipinos. The 38-year-old Filipino-Canadian actor is slowly carving a name for himself in Hollywood with titles like The Good Place (2016), Nine Perfect Strangers (2021), Top Gun: Maverick (2022), and The Acolyte (2024) under his belt. Blessed with dashing good looks that have the Internet obsessing over him over and over again (have you seen this version of him on the red carpet?), Manny has successfully captured hearts all over the world. Naturally, Pinoys are  proud of him, especially when we find out just how Pinoy he is. Case in point: did you know he has the most Pinoy college degree ever?

“The most Filipino course next to nursing — civil engineering,” commented one X (formerly Twitter) user. If anyone has any doubts about Manny’s Filipino-ness, his bachelor’s degree in Applied Science in Civil Engineering from the University of British Columbia will put all that to rest. According to Manny, he was supposed to become a pharmacist but “failed chemistry.”

“I looked at the different subjects and I thought hey, if my dad can be an engineer, why can’t I? I figured I’d just go in that same direction,” he said in an interview. But as fate would have it, in the end, he became an actor whose work we now get to enjoy.

Someone even unearthed his college graduation photo and Pinoys, naturally hilarious creatures that we are, have a lot to say about it.

Crush Alert: 8 Things You Should Know About Manny Jacinto

Manny Jacinto as your typical Pinoy student

Mukha syang tambay sa TNC tapos pancit canton palagi kinakain pero mabango pa rin at dean’s lister sa UST Faculty of Engineering https://t.co/i7bQjXA6pH

— Noelle Capili-Ruiz (@MxNoelle) November 9, 2024

“Mukha syang tambay sa TNC tapos pancit canton palagi kinakain pero mabango pa rin at dean’s lister sa UST Faculty of Engineering,” said another X user. We could totally picture Manny in a computer shop looking like studying is the last thing on his mind. He’s that one classmate who says they haven’t studied for the exams but ends up almost perfecting it anyway.

 

The Crush ng Bayan

Si Manny Jacinto yung crush ng batch pero may jowang taga-Ateneo kaya madalas di nakikita kasi sumusundo pag uwian na. Makakasalubong mo lang sa Gloria Maris sa weekend having lunch kasama yung pamilya niya after they attended worship service https://t.co/MN6wSxmdos

— H Y R O (@heyrow) November 10, 2024

With a Pinoy-coded haircut like that, we’re a thousand percent sure Manny would be the crush ng bayan. Imagine him walking campus in his Engineering uniform, oblivious to the groups of girls subtly elbowing each other in kilig as he comes near.

 

Your TOTGA kapitbahay

he’s the kind of gwapo na makikita mong nagbabantay sa printing xerox shop https://t.co/jdS1cf4bU9

— vince (@droidhymns) November 9, 2024

He could totally be that kapitbahay who runs the local computer shop or the sari-sari next door when his parents are busy. Manny looks so Pinoy that other Pinoys are saying his face looks familiar.

“Parang anak ng kapitbahay niyo ta’s kalaro mo until ayan, nag-migrate sila sa Canada,” read one post.

gets sobrang pogi ni manny jacinto pero alam niyo yun sobrang familiar ng mukha niya parang anak ng kapitbahay niyo tas kalaro mo until ayan nagmigrate sila sa canada https://t.co/vfgsZK4GPq

He looks like a Pastor’s kid

mukha siyang anak ng pastor tapos wala siyang kamuwang-muwang sa mundo kasi nasa christian school siya all his life until mag-UST siya. may magkakacrush sa kanya na guy tapos di niya talaga malalaman na crush siya nung guy kasi magdrift-apart sila. pero he’ll still greet him sa- https://t.co/AQF10cIpAr

— 美 (@FEMMEI9) November 10, 2024

“Mukha siyang anak ng pastor tapos wala siyang kamuwang-muwang sa mundo kasi nasa Christian school siya all his life until mag-UST siya,” read another post on X.

Manny will probably laugh at how his single college graduation photo launched a thousand fanfics online.

 

Manny Jacinto as the boy who broke your heart

this the kind of face that had future doctors and senators breaking down over a 3-month situationship back in college https://t.co/Qcj20s6R3e

— riem dante, rnd (@justdants) November 9, 2024

We all know the type. A quiet, handsome guy who is at the top of the class but is simultaneously the life of the party. “This the kind of face that had future doctors and senators breaking down over a 3-month situationship back in college,” read one post. Nailed it.

 

The ideal Filipino son-in-law

he is already the ideal filipino son-in-law https://t.co/z3p2yGOcyq

— xela ‍☠️ (@XelaV1e) November 10, 2024

Face card, brains, talent — Manny Jacinto is the ultimate triple threat. Like all these comments pointed out, he’s the ideal man to introduce to your parents and the ideal Filipino son-in-law. Based on one grad photo, that is.

You must already be planning a wedding with Manny in your head. We hate to break it to you but this guy’s already taken IRL! He’s married to fellow actress Dianne Doan. The pair is as sweet as can be, supporting each other’s endeavors in life.
