Before he was a walking daydream named Yuri Hanamichi in “Ang Mutya ng Section E,” Rabin Angeles was quietly building his empire—one TikTok fan at a time. Now, with over four million followers, a romantic comedy hit under his belt, and another series (“Seducing Drake Palma”) keeping fans fed on Viva One, Rabin is officially Gen Z’s favorite heartthrob in uniform.
“Ang Mutya ng Section E” didn’t just catapult him into stardom—it turned him into the ultimate “Ja-Pinoy” fantasy, blending boy-next-door charm with a K-drama level of swoon. Viewers didn’t stand a chance. Suddenly, Rabin wasn’t just someone you’d pass in the hallway—he was the hallway.
On his rapid journey and how he’s handling the spotlight, Rabin admitted he feels a bit of the pressure but refuses to let it go to his head.
In other words, Rabin’s embracing his rise while making an effort to remain grounded — something that’s earning him even more respect from fans.
And just when you thought he couldn’t get any more crush-worthy, Rabin casually dropped the mic by becoming the first-ever Filipino brand ambassador for Botejyu Philippines.
This wasn’t some celebrity-brand speed date. Rabin has been loyal to Japanese cuisine since his pre-fame days, calling Botejyu a long-time family favorite.
“Becoming their ambassador now—it’s not just a career milestone, it feels like coming home,” he told us.
