[edit] Career

As part of the dance group Streetboys, Vhong was discovered by director Chito S. Roño who continues to manage him.

Among the products he endorsed are Sprite (Obey your thirst Series -- "Sprite 101: How to add a little spice to your life" and "Sprite 101: Paano pumili ng wasto"), Pop-Cola (Sigaw ng uhaw Series -- "Pasingit, singit..." and "Ang tindi ng sikat ng araw..."), Jag Thug & Jag Jeans and Blu Tab.

His launching movie was to be Gagamboy (2004) - the Regal/MAQ entry in Metro Manila Film Festival in December 2003 - but Star Cinema Production Inc. pulled a fast one and cast him in the lead role of Mr. Suave (2003) which was scheduled in November of 2003. The issue created a feud between the two production companies.[citation needed]

Self-proclaimed 'Jim Carrey of the Philippines'.

[edit] Controversy

Navarro appeared in the August 17, 2007 press conference of the television series "Lastikman". Besides Lastikman, Vhong will star in a forthcoming movie with a "superhero", Makisig Morales (the star of Super Inggo). Meanwhile, Vhong wants DNA test for his alleged daughter. At 12 years old, she would be older than Vhong's current eldest child, Vhong Navarro Jr.[1]
