Modeling has been Junel Drapete’s passion for years now. (Junel...sabihin nang may lambing sa dulo!) It may not be his bread and butter, but he always makes time for it. (sakin ba bro may time ka?)
One of his first jobs was in the IT Department for a corporation. “IT professional po talaga ako sa Manila, pero dahil sa nagustuhan ko yung pagmo-model at may mga kumukuha po sakin, pinagsabay ko yun.” (sabay tayo bro ma-masyal!)
But he explored other opportunities overseas. Four years ago, he went to Taiwan. (ay sana nagkita tayo. Nandun ako ha!)
“Gusto ko talaga mag-abroad. Kaya nung magkaroon ng opportunitiy sa Taiwan, pumunta ako. Factory worker ako dun. Mahirap yung trabaho pero kinaya," Junel recalls. (kakayanin kita bro)
After a year, he sought a better employment in Alberta, Canada. He is now a security officer of a government facility. (i-secure mo ko bro!)
“Canada talaga yung tinatarget kong mapuntuhan kasi alam kong maganda rito. Kaya nung nagkaroon ng chance, pinagipunan ko talaga para makarating rito. Three years na rin ako rito," Junel shares. (dyan mo ba ko ititira bro?)
The 30-year-old health and fitness advocate is blessed to have an agency in Canada that gets him for modeling gigs. (kaya panay pictorial sa IG!)
“5 to 6 times a week ako sa gym. Gumigising talaga ako nang mas maaga para makapagworkout bago ako pumunta sa work. Siyempre kailangan din yun para magkaroon ng good health at para rin pag may kumuha sakin sa pictorial," Junel says. (kunin na kita dyan bro!)
In his recent appearance on our YouTube Channel, WTFu, he mentioned that entering showbiz is also in his mind. “Minsan naiisip ko yan. Nung nasa Pilipinas ako may mga konting pagkakataon. Pwede ko naman subukan. Huwag siguro daring agad. Pero pwede naman aralin yun.” (dadahan-dahanin kita bro!)
