MANILA, Philippines — Actor Pepe Herrera's primary "suave" tips for guys is to be a perfect gentleman.

"Sa panahon ngayon, feeling ko we can associate 'suave' to being a perfect gentlemen," answered Pepe. "That's my goal, always looking out for any woman, always trying to protect someone, always prioritizing [the] welfare of others — not just women."
The actor added that such a description is the standard he will set for his daughter with Sarah Mallari, "'Yun ang sasabihin ko sa daughter ko, 'Yan ang goal mo sa isang lalaki, dapat 'yun ang standard.'"
