After a total of 935,884 online votes, Kapamilya Teen Queen Kathryn Bernardo emerged as the hottest/brightest star in the country under 20 years old. Her on-screen partner–Daniel Padilla–came forth as her runner up.
Kathryn garnered a whopping 203,736 total number of votes in the online poll conducted by Starmometer which lasted for 14 days (two weeks).
The Kapamilya Primetime Princess bested 49 other nominees from August 4 to 8 when the online voting began, until the poll was trimmed down to the final 20 and voting continued with integration of Twitter votes from August 8 to 18, 2013.
Kathryn’s on-screen partner, Daniel Padilla, occupied the no. 2 slot by getting a total number of 148,415 votes. It’s interesting to note that Kathryn and Daniel also captured the no. 1 and 2 slots in the first edition of our “Hottest 20 Under 20″ poll in 2011.
Kathryn and Daniel are set to star in the new Kapamilya primetime series “Got to Believe.”
The new lead stars of the youth-oriented sitcom “Luv U” made an impressive debut in our #Hottest20Under20 poll.
Nash Aguas bagged the bronze position (#3) with 143,265 votes. His co-stars Jairus Aquino and Sharlene San Pedro finished 5th and 6th, respectively.
Meanwhile, two artists from the latest batch of Star Magic Circle–Jerome Ponce and Jane Oineza–made it to the Top 10. Jerome, who is a cast-member of “Be Careful With My Heart,” placed 4th while Jane, a New York Festivals Best Actress nominee for her ‘MMK’ performance, ranked 8th.
