While leaders of Pacific Rim nations discussed trade and economy issues at a meeting in the Philippines this week, netizens of the host country had a debate of their own: Who is the handsome ‘Hottie’ of the summit?
A twitter poll with the hash tag #APECHottie, one of the most trending on social media, pitted new Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau against Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto for the best-looking leader at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit.
Trudeau, 43, and already famous on the internet for a photograph of him shirtless and in a boxer’s pose, has a slight edge, local media said.
But Peña Nieto, 49, gets a lot of attention because of his clean-cut looks and the shared history between Mexico and the Philippines, both former Spanish colonies.
Other leader at APEC, including U.S. President Obama, China’s Xi Jinping and Japan’s Shinzo Abe were not on the list nor was President Aquino, although he is still called the most eligible bachelor in the country. (Eagle News Service)
