Tom played “What makes you #MARKSBETTER.”

What’s a #MARKSBETTER day for you? “A #MARKSBETTER day for me would be when I get to relax at home and paint. It brings me back to pre-showbiz days.

“Yes I do (paint), that’s something people are always surprised to hear about me actually.”

What about a #MARKSBETTER girl? “Ay, this is a tough one. I always like looking for the complete package — beauty and brains but more importantly, someone I can have great conversations with.”

What is a #MARKSBETTER date for you? “Honestly? I prefer a simple, no-frills date. As I said, I love conversations, so something that doesn’t distract you from the person is a good thing.”

What’s your favorite #MARKSBETTER food?

“My weakness is flame-grilled burgers — and that’s very hard to find here in Manila. My usual go-to place is Burger King for quick fastfood runs. I love their 100-percent beef Whoppers.”
