Country's Young Artist

Nash Aguas
Full name: Aeign Zackrey Nash Victoriano Aguas
Birthdate: October 10, 1998
Parents: Allan Aguas & Cinneth Victoriano
Siblings: only child (spoiled! :p)
Education: Gospel Light Montessori
Talents: Dancing, acting, hosting
Aeign Zackrey Nash Victoriano Aguas was born on October 10, 1998 and currently resides in Cavite. Besides being an actor, his other dream is to become a scientist or an astronomer (incidentally his name already sounds like one). He made his television debut on MTB via the Batang F4 contest. In 2004, Nash joined ABS-CBN's talent search Star Circle Quest where he was tagged as "Little Mr. Suave". He showed great potential and with his natural charm and wits he was voted Bibbo Kid Of The Week multiple times. Having the overall package (talent, intelligence, looks, & charisma), he won the title Grand Kid Questor and also took most of the special awards including Darling Of The Press in the Finals night!
Nash, a familiar face and name not only among kids but also to adults, maintains his respectful and down-to-earth attitude in spite of the success and achievements he's attained at a tender age. He excels in school and was even accelerated a year; now he's an incoming Grade 4 student at Gospel Light Academy. He recently won the Best Festival Child Performer in the 2006 Metro Manila Film Festival for his role in "Yaya", one of the episodes in Shake Rattle & Roll 8.
This 8-year old cutie gives justice to any role given to him, whether it's comedy or drama or horror. His versatility is evident in his past and present programs: Goin' Bulilit, OK Fine Whatever, Wansapanataym, My Juan And Only, Mga Anghel Na Walang Langit, Gulong Ng Palad, Calla Lily, and Maria Flordeluna. Other notable appearances are on Wowowee, Homeboy, Komiks, and Maalaala Mo Kaya where his recent performance in the episode "Poon" was much-acclaimed. He can also be seen in the movies Happily Ever After, Hari ng Sablay, I Will Always Love You , and the upcoming Angels and Tiyanaks. Nash sure has a lot of shows and movies under his belt but we've actually only seen a glimpse of what he is capable of doing! Proving he's also multi-talented, the young actor demonstrated impressive dancing and hosting skills, along with improving singing abilities. ABS-CBN is lucky to have him because it seems like this kid can do whatever he puts his mind into!
Award-winning director Peque Gallaga said that voicing a movie is a hard thing to do. That’s why he was really impressed with Star Magic actor Nash Aguas, who did not have a problem doing it. The 10-year-old voiced the lead character Buboy in Dayo. In voicing, the dubber must not only be concerned with synchronization with what’s going on the screen, but put across the correct emotion at the same time he’s reading the script. Peque makes a comparison between Nash and himself, a seasoned actor and much-acclaimed filmmaker. “Nash had only few mistakes in voicing. That’s understandable. Nobody’s perfect. On the other hand, I made many mistakes! Oh my God! It’s shameful! And to think he has more lines and a wider range of emotions to do. Nash is an amazing actor!”
Aeign Zachery Nash Aguas loves drinking milk. During the launching of this Unilever-Knorr advocacy on eating vegetables, we caught Nash drinking milk, which he requested from the staff. “Gustung-gusto ko po ng gatas. Parang gatas na ang water ko,” he beams. Allan and Cinneth Victoriano must be very proud of their son whose star continues to rise with every new project.
Eight-year-old Nash has definitely gone a very long way from being the first Star Circle Kid Quest Grand Questor in 2004. People remember him as Peping in the updated version of Gulong ng Palad and one of the casts of Okey Fine, Whatever. Lately, he stole our hearts as Rene Boy on Maria Flordeluna.
Nash also got raves in his performances in Shake, Rattle and Roll 8, Happily Ever After, Hari ng Sablay and I Will Always Love You and Tiyanaks.

Sharlene San Pedro

Full name: Sharlene Santos San Pedro
Birthdate: April 5 , 1999
Parents: Hector San Pedro & Mylene Santos
Siblings: 1 older brother & 1 baby brother
Education: Sto. Cristo Elementary School
Talents: Dancing, singing, acting


Sharlene was discovered in a contest in ABS-CBN Star Circle Kid Quest a reality based talent search. The Grand Questors Night was held in Araneta Coliseum on a Saturday of June 2004, together with Star Circle Teen Quest which comes after. Nash Aguas became the Grand Questor, making Sharlene San Pedro as the second placer, while Arron Junatas is in third place, CJ Navato in fourth and Mikylla Ramirez in fifth place.
Sharlene is a student of Sto. Cristo Elementary School in Pulilan, Bulacan. She has two brothers.
Sharlene is a product of ABS?CBN?s first reality talent search Star Circle Quest where she emerged first runner-up. That started her showbiz career. They still live in Pulilan, she said, and they commute most of the time. "Pero kung minsan, nagtataksi na rin kami." She added that it?s his father who accompanies her to her tapings and shootings and other showbiz activities.
The talented girl loves singing and dancing and so her first TV show, "Wansapanataym," which she hosted with Nash Aguas was a dream-come-true for her. She hopes to get to perform on stage someday with her idols, John Prats and Heart Evangelista. Her other idol, Sharlene said, is Judy Ann Santos. "Kasi po sa ?Krystala,? ako yong young Judy Ann Santos." Sharlene also dreams of becoming a belter like another idol of hers, Sarah Geronimo.
But her biggest dream, Sharlene hastened to add, is to become a director. And who would she want to direct someday? "Si direk Bubot Mortiz po." Her director in "Goin? Bulilit?" Yes. We asked her twice, just to be sure, and her answer was the same.
Sharlene San Pedro reveals, “Hindi po alam ng mommy and daddy ko na magaling akong umarte. Akala nila sa singing lang ako may ibubuga but when I joined Goin’Bulilit, that’s when they saw na kaya ko palang mag-artista [My parents didn’t know that I can act. They thought I can only sing, but when I joined Goin’ Bulilit, that’s when they realized that I can also be an actress].”
Slim at 25 kilos, Sharlene is a natural. Her dad Hector was hesitant to allow his daughter to try show business but Sharlene insisted and she emerged as one of the most in-demand stars nowadays.
Her mom Mylene explains that they have to enroll her in a home study program so she can pursue her studies despite her many TV and commercial commitments. Indeed, the Star Circle Kid Quest first runner-up has become one of the most admired and busiest child stars. From being the little Judy Ann on the fantaserye Krystala, to being a mainstay of the kiddie gag show Goin’ Bulilit, she also touched many viewers’ hearts on Mga Anghel Na Walang Langit and her own teleserye, Calla Lily.
She aspires to be a belter like her idol Sarah Geronimo. But her ultimate dream is to become a director like Edgar “Bobot” Mortiz who is the director of Goin’ Bulilit where Sharlene plays Korina Kanchez in the Rated KKK, Handa na Ba Ako? segment of the show.
Her latest TV appearance saw her playing the young Shaina Magdayao on Rounin. Sharlene also played the young Aiza Seguerra on Ysabella, which stars Judy Ann Santos. The eldest of two siblings, Sharlene loves her family very much that’s why when she turned 8 last April, she opted to celebrate it with her family rather than have a big party.
