ENCHONG DEE

ENCHONG DEE as Nico

Ernest Lorenzo (Enchong) Dee
Born: November 5, 1988
A Filipino actor, model, and champion swimmer.
He is a brother of another Filipino actor model, AJ Dee.

Enchong Dee is always in his swimming trunks. But that’s not entirely a bad thing because 18-year-old Enchong who started swimming at age six, is a champion swimmer with 400 plus medals (including a SEA games silver) to his name. Even a cool and casual get-up of shirt and pants cannot hide his V-shaped back and toned body.

In swimming, Enchong clocks in an amazing time in the most difficult butterfly stroke — next only to Eric Buhain. His teammates aptly brand him "Halimaw" (monster) because of his powerful core-propelled movement in the butterfly stroke. Enchong’s fastest time in the 100-meter butterfly is 56.5, which puts him at par with the country’s best.

The resident pretty boy of the pool, Enchong hopes to be part of the team which will compete in the 2008 Olympics in China but for now, his sights are set on the 2007 Southeast Asian Games in Thailand.

If you think Enchong has it easy, just swimming everyday to prepare for his competitions, you’re so wrong. Sporty and athletic Enchong also engages in badminton and triathlon and has academic classes to attend to. He is a sophomore at De La Salle University taking up Sports Management. TV and modeling take up his time when he’s not in school or in the pool.

Enchong’s TV roles are on both ends of the spectrum. In the teenybopper Saturday show About Ur Luv, he is Blue, a singer/heartthrob from the province paired with Brenda (Carla Humphries). For your late-night primetime soap fill, he joins Diether Ocampo, Kristine Hermosa and Rica Peralejo in Palimos ng Pag-ibig where he plays Rica’s brother, Job, a dentistry student. He is also a regular on the Sunday variety show ASAP where he dances and hosts along with Star Magic’s stellar line-up.

He was one of Cosmopolitan Magazine’s 2006 Centerfold Bachelors, a part of Metro Magazine’s Body Calendar and snagged the Choice Pop Cover Boy award from the ASAP Pop Viewers Choice Awards for 2006.

With all these, it is no surprise that Enchong is also the advertising world’s hottest boy. He has starred in billboards and commercials and now is the newest endorser of Timex’s sports collection. Timex is the No. 1 sports watch in the US and athletes swear by the precision timing of the watch — perfect for Enchong who is a world-class swimmer!

At 5’9" and 155 pounds, this world-class swimmer from Naga City is a prize catch.



Nico is...

He is exactly the opposite of his best friend Julian. As someone who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, Nico believes that life is all about pleasure and women. But his fickle heart soon begins to beat for just one girl because of Jasmine.
