Luke as G in “Oh my G!”
In playing a character: Luke highlights that “you have to understand what the role meant for you”
G, was a character portrayed by Luke in ABS-CBN noontime serye Oh my G! Acting G was of course difficult for Luke it was like a series of 100 questions of how and what ifs. Like, how would He be if He is talking to someone? If G is giving advice? What would be the tone of His voice? How would he act or respond to various situations.
Definitely, all of us did not have the chance to have a face to face interaction with G. It is only our faith and through prayers that we talk to Him. Holy week or the whole Lenten celebration was a reminder that a conversation should happen.
Sophie, played by Janella Salvador was one of the lucky few in the serye who happened to be seeing G and talking to him in a social media platform or face to face. She has actual interaction with G especially when she needs to make crucial decisions in life.
G in the serye was portrayed by several actors. He is depicted to be wearing a white shirt or long sleeves with a watch on his wrist.
Oh my G! reminds us of a lot of things, such as:
- We will not be as lucky as Sophie that has a direct line with G but it reminds us of G’s never ending presence in our life
- G has a personal relationship to each of us
- When making crucial decisions in life be like Sophie, pray! And G listens!
- G wearing a watch tells us that our life is limited and we can always make the most of it
We thought that sharing this during the Easter Season is a perfect way to continue to promote the serye because of the lessons it bring to our life. Also for Luke Jickain, G was a challenging role because you only don’t just play a character but as an actor Luke highlights that “you have to understand what the role meant for you”

Double celebration for Luke Jickain
Luke Jickain is a high end fashion model that as a fan, you would have a lot of hesitation to approach even just to have a photo with him. But that is not the real Luke Jickain! It’s how you or any other fan would look at him. The real Luke is down earth, easy to approach and a genuine person. He would even call anyone brother or a friend.
Looking back, a year ago as a fan I started the twitter page of Luke putting into a photo bank all the available pictures he has in the web. The goal is to post one photo everyday and tagging him is always part of the routine. One day I got an invitation from Luke to attend Fashion Week 2013 in SMX MOA. This is my first official scoop of what Luke is doing as a fashion model and I would described as the initial meet up became a squad of supporters for Luke.
During his birthday in 2013, the squad gave him the FB page managed by the fans officially labelled as LJickainFanPage. Since he was happy about the results of his official fan page social media accounts we started creating two more, one is the Instagram for all his new photos, events, TV shows and others. The last social media account is this webpage or the wordpress which shares about Luke’s advocacy, sports and others.
So we also want to say Happy Birthday to the social media sites of Luke @LJickainFanPage
And now… today is the day. The highlight of this article is of course the birthday boy of our brother Luke Jickain. Before his birthday we countdown to 10 everyday so that fans will look forward to his birthday. To make it more interesting in the social media the fan page regram, RT, share, and repost all the bday greetings for Luke. We also prepare articles about Luke’s advocacy and sports in his wordpress. 
So can we sing a happy birthday song to Luke Jickain? Isn’t something a double celebration?
We have collected some of the greetings from Luke’s fans everywhere!

Luke Jickain is Mr. Sportsmanship
What is your favorite sports?
Most people don’t realize that Luke Jickain is a serious sports person. The amazing part of Luke’s interest in sports is that he is not good in only a specific or one sport but to various. This article would explore what are those sports he enjoy and play of course. Many would say if you are the jack of trade it follows that you are a master of none, but this theory remains a theory especially for Luke Jickain because he is a national player of the flag football team known as the Pilipinas Aguilas which became his sport of mastery.
We will try to describe each of the sports Luke is involved in and see a bit of history why this ramp model join this sports?
The first sports is Flag Football where Luke is part of the team Pilipinas Aguilas who will compete in Thailand this November 2014. Flag Football is a version of American football where the basic rules of the game are similar to those of the mainstream game (often called “tackle football” for contrast), but instead of tackling players to the ground, the defensive team must remove a flag or flag belt from the ball carrier (“deflagging”) to end a down.
So what are you waiting for? Calendar the game of Pilipinas Aguilas.
Another football game Luke splash into is the original America Football. In 2012, the Philippine Punishers defeated Saipan Sharks which gave the Philippines a good break in this sports. Luke played American football for San Beda College for three years.
American football is played by two teams of eleven players on a rectangular field 120 yards long by 53.33 yards wide with goalposts at each end. The offense attempts to advance an oval ball (the football) down the field by running with or passing it. They must advance it at least ten yards in four downs to receive a new set of four downs and continue the drive; if not, they turn over the football to the opposing team. The team with the most points at the end of a game wins.
So that makes it two types of football for Luke Jickain.
One of Luke’s latest TV appearance was with the sports teleserye Beki Boxer of the Kapatid Network. Beki Boxer is a story of a gay boxer who make it to the top of the boxing career. Luke played as Dyanggo the villain in the teleserye (read also Luke Jickain, his other characters and Dyanggo? http://goo.gl/T9yQrp)
Unlike the two football sports, boxing is a famous sport for Filipinos and around the world, thus I do not need to explain how this sports is done. Luke become interested in boxing because of his role in Beki Boxer. As Dyanggo he needs to portray a role of a professional boxing player. He underwent a rigid training program at Elorde in Golds Gym. He made boxing as his alternate for his workout routine. So that explains his well-toned body.
Another prominent Philippine sports is basketball. Luke is not a professional basketball player. For him this is just a hobby and leisure. He usually meet with his college and high school friends to play basketball as a goodwill game. He also join celebrity organized basketball games in different part of the Philippines. One of the latest out-of-town game Luke attended was in General Santos together with Derek Ramsay, Gerry Acao, & Joross Gamboa
The last sport I know Luke has a bit of start but did not pursue was… believe or not its ice skating. He was sharing his experience that when he started with ice skating his feet was even wounded because of the skating shoes. One day he just woke up and he was amazed about ice skating he tried several sessions at the ice skating area in SM megamall.
Now that is a long list of sports you can all choose from. Luke Jickain is amusing to look at as a sports enthusiast because his fashion sense is complemented in every sports he explore. He shares that he is a food lover and has a big appetite but sports is something that maintain his gorgeous and fit built.
Now choose your sports!
Luke Jickain: Advocate in Action
Quote Posted on
“I will always have time for advocacies that contribute to better the well-being of other people” said Luke Jickain in very casual conversation during a charity fun run to support scholarship of students.
On March 9, 2014 Luke wake up early morning to be one of the runner and supporter of the fun run organized by Ayala Foundation for the benefit of the CENTEX students. He finished the run without any pressure, he totally just enjoy it while chatting with some people whom he met in the fun run. This is a start of a Sunday that is well spent.
As a model and actor, Luke has a good influence with his followers in the social media and he sees this as a good platform to campaign the advocacies he feel strongly about. He volunteered to be part of the headshot clinic of the famous creative director and visual artist Niccolo Cosme (http://www.niccolo-cosme.com/). The headshot clinic has two advocacy campaigns focus on environmental and HIV-AIDS awareness. The environmental campaign is tagged as earth faces and for HIV-AIDS was branded as Save Sexy.
#SaveSexy is the hashtag of the campaign Red Whistle which focuses on the alarming rise of HIV infection in the Philippines. The Red Whistle has three objectives: 1. raise awareness on the situation to encourage community action; 2. deliver safer sex messages designed to reach communities affected by the epidemic; and 3. help facilitate access or referral to HIV services, including HIV testing, treatment, and support services.
It aims to empower and inspire people to come together and help each other in this battle against HIV and AIDS. The hope is to reach our objectives through online and social media efforts, visual arts and rebranding through the red whistle. We hope to engage individuals and groups to HELP sound the alarm in their respective communities that HIV is here and that it must be stopped.
Currently, Red Whistle have produced a thousand red whistles which are being given out to individuals and organizations and at the same time getting their pledges and their commitments in our battle against HIV and AIDS. These whistles are becoming a trending item and are running out really fast.
The Red Whistle campaign as a collaborative platform for artists/individuals/groups to come together and create new visuals and mediums that can be used as awareness campaign materials and to hopefully collaborate with brands to come up with items that can be in line with our campaign.

Luke, talks about quality of life which everyone should experience as a human being. We all have been given a chance to live a productive and happy life. However, the decisions that we make also affects our very own quality of life. With this in mind, Luke never hesitated to lend his time to be part of the celebrity ambassador who advocates for availability of information in order to make right choices or decisions in life. This campaign is led by United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). UNFPA works to promote the right of every woman, man and child to enjoy a life of health and equal opportunity. UNFPA supports countries using population data for policies and programmes to reduce poverty. UNFPA’s vision is of a world where every pregnancy is wanted, birth is sage, every young person is free of HIV and AIDS and every woman and girls is treated with dignity and respect.
This year’s World Population Day theme “Investing in Young People,” Project Headshots Clinic photographed celebrities and advocates to kick off the “selfie” campaign to encourage social media users to participate and express their support for the rights of adolescents and youth. In the Philippines, the campaign focused on three key issues of young people – adolescent sexual and reproductive health, universal access to basic education and youth unemployment.

Many people knew Luke Jickain as a ramp model and definitely this is something nobody will dare to question. He has a grand name in the fashion and modelling industry in the Philippines. He has countless of fashion show which he participated and this made him a reliable fashion endorser.
However, the craft of modelling led him to an acting career. He went to The New York School for film and Television classes to better his acting skills. Luke Jickain is truly a learner in progress. His experience in modelling and acting enabled him to attract followers and fans that is always on look for his next endorsement, TV show or fashion show.
Luke Jickain, his other characters and Dyanggo?
Luke Jickain was described by simplymanila blogspot as a man of literally few words; Luke’s quiet and sometimes brooding persona may come off as too serious. That seems to have changed on “Boracay Bodies” as he has shown that among all the others, he had the strongest desire to understand the members of their group. During the tense moments, it was always he who acted as the peacemaker and showed a willingness to sacrifice himself in order to help his group members thus he was called the wise man.
After his famous body shot in Boracay Bodies and of course showcasing the wonderful island destination in the Philipines which is Boracay, Luke take on a new role in the character of Tommy for a miniseries entitled Misibis Bay. Another tourist destination located in Albay in Bicol Misibis Bay is a stunning private tropical hideaway built on a pristine stretch of beach.
Tommy in the miniseries is a life guard in the resort whose character started as very adherent at first but eventually turned around to become the bad guy in the story. The acting of Luke here was appreciated because from being the peacemaker in Boracay Bodies to now the total opposite for Misibis Bay. The most intriguing part the character of Luke here is his love scene with Ms. Vivian Velez who is a veteran actor in showbiz.
Talking about versatility, Luke Jickain is really serious in his craft. After Misibis Bay he has a short stint in Madam Chairman a TV series which talks about politics, friendship and family of course led by the Madam Chairman herself the megastar Ms. Sharon Cuneta. Luke’s character here is Councilor Tejada a supporter of Bebeth who is the character of Ms. Sharon Cuneta. Councilor Tejada played by Luke is outstanding in his attire with a big bow tie and always in long sleeves. Luke was even in character as Councilor Tejada when goes to events and gathering.
So that is a total of three different characters played by Luke Jickain in different shows of the Kapatid Network TV 5.
He was Luke the wise man, Tommy the good guy turned villain and Councilor Tejada a staunch supporter. But who really is Luke Jickain and who is Dyanggo mentioned in the article title?
Many of the supporters of Luke Jickain knew him as the model but only a few knew him as an actor of course his acting career is still on a long journey. Also a few people would know that he has seriously studied acting in the New York Acting School for Film and Television classes that is how serious he is with his acting craft. He is definitely known to be a hunk, sexy and good looking actor but beyond that outstanding look of Luke, he is a good friend and a humble person.
And… Dyanggo? We have to discover who Dyanggo is. This character will be definitely played by Luke Jickain for Beki Boxer the newest series in TV 5 Kapatid. The show started today March 31, 7pm Mondays to Fridays. Beki Boxer is lead by Alwyn Uytingco and Vin Abrenica.
