| Xian Lim on Men's Health Feb 2012 issue |
At this day and age, I have a mouthful to say about the local show business (showbiz). I will not expound on this but suffice to say that I dread the thought of my daughters expressing their desires of becoming artistas one day. Of course the prospect of earning money and becoming famous might excite them to no end but there are reasons a father would rather dream that their daughters, or sons, finish a degree and become successful chefs, or lawyers, or get a career in the corporate world or put up a business of their own. Hoping of course that there are still huge opportunities waiting for them by the time they finish college.
Here is a singular thought: Celebrities or showbiz personalities should strive to become role models for their fans and followers.
But there are those whom we learn and discover to be worth following. Take Xian Lim. He is multi-talented (acting, singing, playing instruments, sports, etc. ). I take Xian to be somebody with a huge brain and heart. He is romantic and he has remained tarnish-free [read as no drugs, no fathering some teeny booper) even after a couple of years in the business. I also learned that he is a good son.
Little girls and yes, wives, mothers and lola's have experienced some kilig watching ABS-CBN's "My Binondo Girl". Undoubtedly, there is an exemplary chemistry between Xian Lim and Kim Chiu. Kim must have been so thrilled when Xian Lim took time to get a choir to serenade her. Guys like Xian - hopeless romantic.
And this is what every father dream that their daughters meet one day. Not an artista, but somebody who is, among other things, responsible, intelligent, charismatic, romantic, a good son to their parents and perhaps sports minded.
I wish that Xian Lim continues to become a great role model to all young men in and out of Philippine showbusiness.

My sentiments, exactly! Xian is indeed a source of joy and inspiration for all ages both male & female, but especially the young, impressionable minds. Let's support him and those like him in the limelight, even as we pray for their continued guidance. God bless and Mama Mary keep Xian Liam. :)
