Like you, Cosmo Chicks, April Online Hunk Rocco Nacino loves summer, too! After all, it's the perfect excuse to blow off work, run off to exotic locales, fry in the sun, and walk around in nothing but a teeny-tiny bikini--or in his case, board shorts.

After seeing Starstruck V’s Second Prince reveal his swoon-worthy senti side last week, we wanted to bring the summer spirit up a notch. We already know how active and energetic the budding young star is. He dabbles in sports such as basketball and futsal, as well as martial arts Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai. He also shows off his dancing chops regularly on GMA-7’s Party Pilipinas. So for this week, we got Rocco to run by the shore, throw a beach ball around, and work up a sweat in the name of fun!

Read on to find out what the 23-year-old registered nurse loves to chow during summer, what flick fires him up for the season, and why he would never don trunks at the beach. Click on the gallery to see a grinning Rocco having a blast beachside—you’ll fantasize about packing your bags and heading off to some beach destination with him for days!


What's your favorite summer treat?

My favorite summer treat is halu-halo. Sarap!

What's your favorite summer-themed movie?

Favorite ko ang Fool’s Gold starring Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey. Ang ganda ng mga beach dun e. The water is so nice. Tuwing napapanood ko ‘yun gusto ko ding pumunta sa lugar na ‘yun.

What’s your favorite beach pastime?

'Pag nasa beach ako, I just like to lie down and watch people walk by. Just relax.

What water sport would you like to try?

Gusto ko i-try mag-wakeboarding sa CamSur.

Who’s your favorite travel buddy—friends, family, or girlfriend?

Hindi ko pa kasi na-experience going out of town with a girlfriend or with friends. So yeah, family. Pero siyempre gusto ko ma-experience ‘yun. Medyo protective sa akin ang mom ko. Alam niya kung ano'ng pwedeng mangyari 'pag girlfriend ang kasama ko or 'pag friends ang kasama ko. May pagka-mama’s boy ako e (laughs). Ngayon mas maluwag naman siya sa akin.

What’s your favorite beach outfit?

Sando and board shorts, or just board shorts.

Would you ever wear trunks?

No (laughs). Parang sobrang skimpy naman nun for a guy. Iba na ang generation ngayon. Hindi na ‘to Baywatch era (laughs).

What do you think of guys who wear trunks?

Idol ko kayo kasi kaya n'yo ‘yun! Ako, hindi ko kaya ‘yun! Ang galing n'yo! Very confident kayo 'pag ganun (laughs).

Have you ever gotten drunk on vacation?

No. Tamang inom lang!
