When you see John, you’ll know he is not your typical auto mechanic. When not tinkering with nuts and bolts, 27-year-old John, a native of Bicol Province, can be seen strutting his stuff on the ramp.

When his father left the country to work in Saudi Arabia, John automatically assumed the role of the man of the house. While supporting his family, John became business-oriented and put up his own auto-mechanic garage.

He prides in his ability to adapt in any situation which he believes is his key to winning Survivor Philippines. If he wins the grand prize, John plans to build a bigger business and boost his modeling career.
