Illac Diaz, idol hunk
Entry Feed Trackback
Illac Diaz is the kind of man I would like to bring home to Mom and Dad, and say, “Yes I’m gay, and he is my husband.” LOL! Seriously, this guy is amazing. He is an entrepreneur with a heart, and good looking at that (once upon a time, a commercial model)! He was just recently named one of The Outstanding Young Persons of the World (TOYP) by the Jaycees International (JCI). Idol!
Pinoy is outstanding young person of the world
The Philippine Star 09/16/2006
Illac Diaz of the Philippines has been named one of The Outstanding Young Persons of the World (TOYP) by the Jaycees International (JCI).
The award formally recognizes 10 individuals between the ages of 18 and 40 who exemplify the finest attributes of the world’s young people.
The award will be given at the JCI World Congress in November in Seoul, South Korea. Previous winners of the TOYP include actor Jackie Chan, entrepreneur Anthony Robbins, Australian aviation pioneer Janine Shepherd, Filipino writer Rene Villanueva and Filipino
entrepreneur Jay Bernardo.
Hundreds of TOYM (Ten Outstanding Young Men) awardees from over 110 JCI member countries were nominated for the international honor. Diaz received the 2005 TOYM for social entrepreneurship from the Philippine Jaycees. Diaz is the first social entrepreneur to be so honored.
Earlier this year, Diaz headed the team that topped the $100K Entrepreneurship Competition at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston for the project CentroMigrante, a self-help business model that provides clean, safe and affordable
urban housing for the thousands of Filipinos who come to Manila to look for jobs as seamen.
His team also won the first and second prizes of the MIT’s IDEAS Competition, which seeks out creative ideas that make a positive impact on the world. The team took the grand prize with their First Step Coral project, which uses a turbine powered by sea currents to energize a wire frame on which corals grow four times faster than normal. They took the silver prize with their replicable, low-cost cement peanut sheller.
Diaz set up the 40-room Pier One Seafarer’s Dormitory in Intramuros in 2000 to meet the need for temporary housing for seaman applicants. Pier One has been operating successfully and today has three branches with over 1,500 beds. He also founded the MyShelter Foundation, which builds low-cost classrooms using the Earthbag Construction System.
Diaz completed this year a research fellowship in the Special Program for Urban and Regional Studies at the MIT. He holds a Master’s in Entrepreneurship degree from the Asian Institute of Management. He was on the national track and field team to the Asian Youth Games and Asian Games from 1988 to 1995, and was the national decathlon champion from 1991 to 1993.
Illac Diaz was a commercial model before.
Illac Diaz has a blog which he entitled “Beyond the horizon of personal experience is the infinite possibility to reinvent one’s life” — and he indeed lived these words! inspiring isn’t it?

georgena_oz at Mar 3, 07 at 1:49 pm
why don’t people look at the good deeds of this guy, Illac? i mean, some are judging Illac behind his back but they have never imagined that this guy is really somewhat a kind-hearted person? does this mean that this is what a filipino really are? na kapag nalaman natin ang hindi katanggap-tanggap na aspeto ng isang tao, basta nalang natin s’yang ibabagsak? masyado tayong mapanghusga sa kapwa. bakit ‘di natin tanungin sa ating mga sarili na ang panghuhusaga ay isa ring pangit na imahe nating mga pilipino? i still believe of what Illac said that:”how can i reach success that other people may come along with me?” see, iniisip n’ya ang kapakanan natin…ang masaklap pa, hindi nakikita ng ilan sa atin ang bagay na ‘yon.
lanz vargas at Mar 8, 07 at 6:20 pm
tama ka dyan Lance….yang mga taong nag sasabing gay si Illac, ingit lang sila kasi sa age ni Illac he proven a lot in terms of making a bussines…….mamatay sa ingit ang nagsasabing gay si Illac

harajuku at Mar 20, 07 at 12:10 am

iObserve at Mar 20, 07 at 5:18 pm
gay or not, he has accomplished something every filipino should be proud of. and what’s wrong with being gay?
june at Mar 24, 07 at 12:46 pm

I think I saw a guy in Disney’s production in Hongkong Disneyland that looks exactly like Illac.
Possible kaya…
fatboyslimden at Apr 22, 08 at 4:38 pm
I’m Illac’s ex and he’s not gay… well, not entirely. He’s bi-sexual. Si Joyce girlfriend nya talaga pero pag nasa abroad si illac nangbababae and nanglalake sya. Okay lang naman ata kay Joyce kasi hindi rin siya umaamin kung tinatanong siya kung may boyfriend sya.
Illac’s great when it comes to his contributions to society and to the philippines. However, if we’re talking about emotional stability, medyo may tama sya. that’s why i left him.
besides, i hated it when he’d ask me to lick/finger his ass. seriously. not my thing.
Illac's Ex at May 23, 08 at 8:42 pm
We should just be happy for Illac, however he wants to lead his life. We should give him and Joyce the benefit of the doubt. Let’s not be sardonic, people! What’s important is that they are good people at heart and help the betterment of our country.
Jollibeeboy at Jun 16, 08 at 11:31 pm
hindi siya bading! isa siyang gaysha! hihi! mahal ko siya….i just love to be with him all day long…tapos makikita ko yung rosy chicks niya at kahit magsasalita siya ng save the world all day! hindi ako magsasawa!
Yang Ma at Sep 5, 08 at 2:47 pm
if a guy would ask the girl to lick his ass gay na ba un?? break na ata cla nung joyce… yeah mag 40 na cya and wala pa cyang asawa….
blah at Sep 11, 08 at 9:56 am
mga aling at chong, rinig ko hindi siya grumaduate sa Harvard studies niya. Bagsak ang lola mo pero pinapalabas na nakatapos siya dun. charing at chuvaness talaga. Ang lola mo ay silahis. May lalaki na pinagsabay sa ex niya pero hindi ko alam kung sino na ex. Rinig ko may bagong girlash ang ate natin. Goodluck nalang sa iyo hija. Sana hindi ka mabigyan ng AIDS. Rinig ko rin mashadong ginagamit ang contributions sa pagkuha ng mga babae pero siya ang iniiwanan kasi masama ang ugali.

My cousin has a friend in Harvard and my cousin said Illac did not graduate from Harvard. I think he did not finish his course. I don’t know why he woud claim he is from Harvard. Isn’t that a big lie? I liked you pa naman and you were my idol.
Patty at Oct 22, 08 at 9:26 am
I meant he did not graduate from his course in Harvard. He just attended the school, just like all the rest who went there and never finished. I saw him at the RFM and Tatler ball, people were congratulating him for his success at Harvard. It gives me the creeps to find out he is being applauded for something he did not truly accomplish. This is embarassing to the Philippines.
Patty at Oct 22, 08 at 9:30 am
BADING AKO!!!!
Loring at Jan 19, 09 at 11:27 am
by the way comments flew medyo feeling ng iba paninira na pag sinabihan kang gay. mali naman yata yun. if he is gay, and tagged as such, e di hindi paninira yun, its just stating a fact (if it is factual).
anyways, i love his idealism for turning things into opportunities, harvard or no harvard. he maight have actually said that he went to harvard and that is fact, but perhaps people in media took it as finishing a course at harvard. that couldnt be the fault of illac.
i dont know the guy but i like what i see. not only is he cute with puppydog eyes, his skin looks flawless and ageless, and another plus on the bulge right below… it just pops out in his pants. LOL!
Rooster at Jan 22, 09 at 8:46 am
idol ko si lilac diaz matalino at good looking pa kahit na sinasabi nila gay. idolo-idolo ko siya…………
danilo ligon at Jan 22, 09 at 11:09 pm
He did not make it to finish in Harvard. Sorry to disappoint all Illac admirers.

I wonder if you have concrete evidences of what you are saying or are you just reeking of jealousy and hatred. i’ve seen pictures of his graduation in Harvard, in fact it is posted in his multiply acct. so with that solid visual evidence – i can confirm with 99.99% accuracy that he indeed graduated from his course in Harvard.

ayan, a classic case of my cousin who has a friend of a friend of a friend of a cousin story….LOL!
you should probably confirm it with a research before you post anything. masyado kang social climber…

bakla grumaduate siya…nakita ko mga pics niya sa harvard commencement nila. may pic pa siya wearing a sash na philippine flag dun sa graduation nila. by the way, Harvard also acknowledges Illac..in fact he was featured in a full page article sa official website ng Harvard when he won his young entrep award…so wag masyadong maitim ang mga budhi sa inggit.

Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in a square hole, the ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them, because they change things. They push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who’ll do it.â€

Yes We Can at Apr 25, 09 at 11:31 am
Illac finished from Harvard. He excels in academics as you can see from all this accomplishments in and out of the Philippines. I know for a fact that it is his ex, Joyce Platon, who is spreading these rumors because she is very bitter that he broke up with her and she has nothing good going on with her life. Please, post this as I am defending a close friend. If there is anybody to blame about these ill rumors, blame Joyce Platon, a wannabe socialiate.
a friend at Oct 26, 09 at 10:34 am
I am also defending a friend. This Joyce Platon that is spoken of here is a talented young woman who has been going about her private life. What she and Illac had is the PAST and it is a fact that both of them have better things to do than speak ill of one another. As the saying goes: “Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.”–Eleanor Roosevelt
You should bear that in mind, “a friend”.Especially when you don’t even know the REAL story. Leave them be. Thank you.

Heto iyung ebidensya na nag-Harvard si bakla:
http://content.ksg.harvard.edu/leadership/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=508&Itemid=45
Pero, ang nakasulat:
Born in the Philippines, Illac Diaz is a mid-career MPA student and Reynolds Foundation Fellow at HKS, a member of the Young Global Leaders program of the World Economic Forum, and the 2006 winner of the $100K first prize in social enterprise track of MIT’s business plan competition.
Hindi sinabing “MPA graduate” ..ang sabi: “MPA student” …copyright is 2008…end of 2009 na…so ang tanong: naka-graduate ba siya?
