With <strong><em>Roja</em></strong>, his hit series alongside<strong> Donny Pangilinan</strong>, Kyle has gained momentum and maintained a steady and sure pace. </p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1770599794167embed_metro artist spotlight kyle cinco_12.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>How the best becomes better</strong></div><p>Being sure about where he wants to take his career now means a lot, especially since he started last year, in his words, “slowly” due to a hand injury that had him questioning his next career steps. For the first part of 2025, Kyle admitted, “<em>Medyo hindi ko alam kung saan ko ipupwesto ang sarili ko</em>.” But with the help of his management and team, he said, “I was able to find my footing, I guess, and where I wanted to bring my career.”</p><p>It was a pivotal year, and perhaps it came with the fact that he marked a decade in showbiz in 2025, too. Reassessing motivations and purpose, as well as reinventing oneself, are always welcome, and in that milestone year, such reflections proved to illuminate his passion for his craft.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1770599868966embed_metro artist spotlight kyle cinco_13.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1770599898006embed_metro artist spotlight kyle cinco_14.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>While he experienced a breakthrough in his acting career during his “Gold Squad” era in the afternoon series <strong><em>Kadenang Ginto</em></strong>, Kyle has long stepped out of that treasure chest, going for gold and discovering precious opportunities on his own. </p><p>This 22-year-old’s recent performances have remarkably stripped away his teen-star image, revealing a grit and emotional maturity far beyond his years. His portrayal of Obet in the 2023 mystery teen drama series <strong><em>Senior High</em></strong> served as a definitive turning point, which provided him with the springboard to more complex roles. </p><p>Then came <strong><em>Pamilya Sagrado</em></strong>, in which he starred alongside <strong>Piolo Pascual </strong>and <strong>Grae Fernandez</strong>. With a character like Moises, who is caught in the crosshairs of justice and moral ambiguity, Kyle delivered a performance that was both vulnerable and visceral. Gravitating toward characters with weight, this pretty boy has proven to be a versatile actor, unafraid to portray characters with ugly truths.   </p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1770599960147embed_metro artist spotlight kyle cinco_3.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1770599977510embed_metro artist spotlight kyle cinco_15.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><p>Whether he is navigating the high-stakes tension of a youth-oriented thriller or the quiet, interior heartbreak of a family drama, he possesses a rare &quot;quiet intensity.&quot; </p><p>No wonder he won his first <strong>Best Actor </strong>award at the<strong> 21st Gawad Tanglaw Award</strong> with his role in <strong><em>Pamilya Sagrado</em></strong>! “It was a big <em>teleserye</em> for me,” Kyle looked back. But for an artist like Kyle, big and best should always lead to better. </p><p>As Kyle was working on <strong><em>Roja</em></strong>, an action-packed series grounded in rivalry, one thought that crossed his mind was: “My only competition is my potential. And I just want to be better than myself yesterday.”</p><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1770600002789embed_metro artist spotlight kyle cinco_1.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1770600014950embed_metro artist spotlight kyle cinco_2.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>With every role and project he takes on—be it bringing to life the life story of pro makeup artist <strong>Hajie Alejandro</strong> in a <strong><em>Maalaala Mo Kaya</em></strong> episode, an aspiring singer in<strong><em> 100 Awit Para Kay Stella </em></strong>(and actually singing three songs in its OST), or the estranged son of a former criminal in <strong><em>The Ride </em></strong>also with Piolo Pascual<strong><em></em></strong>—one thing is apparent: his growth. </p><p>And it’s partly because Kyle intentionally chooses roles that can truly resonate with people and his purpose.  </p><p>Even with his beginnings in a singing competition, Kyle has successfully established himself not as a singer who acts but as a singer <em>and</em> actor, and while music may have taken a backseat, his passion for lyrics and beats remains. Singing will always be his form of release. </p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1770601808207embed_metro artist spotlight kyle cinco_25.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>“Honestly, we’ll see where life takes us at this moment, but I’m enjoying the projects that are coming my way,” he told <strong>Metro.Style</strong>. And what’s particularly endearing about him is that he doesn’t take all the credit for what he has achieved so far, knowing some people helped pave the path for him. “Everything that’s been coming my way, I’ve been able to think about with my whole team. I have my whole team behind me, and I’ve just been blessed with very different kinds of projects.”</p><p>“Blessed” is a word Kyle may not realize he often speaks of, but how often he says it mirrors his genuine feelings. With everything he has to be grateful for, he is, no doubt, blessed, and what he feels he can do in return is make the most of these blessings. </p><p>“<em>Sunod-sunod ’yung mga</em> blessings,” he reflected. “And I think one thing 2025 really taught me is everyone has their timing <em>talaga</em>. God’s timing <em>talaga</em>. <em>Nasa sa kanya kung kailan ka kailangan</em>.”  </p><p>And today, the rapidly shifting world of showbiz needs artists who can ride with the times, and Kyle is on board. His time to make bigger waves is now, and he’s right here, right now—all in!</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1770600541349embed_metro artist spotlight kyle cinco_21.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1770600562308embed_metro artist spotlight kyle cinco_22.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>The style chameleon</strong></div><p>Parallel to his growth on screen is Kyle’s rising status as a fashion muse. A style chameleon who can rock anything from laid-back and street-style to bespoke and couture, Kyle has stepped out as a disruptor. </p><p>He has no qualms about wearing floral touches as he did at the 2025 ABS-CBN Ball, and a soft, powdery blue hue as seen in his Star Magical Christmas look last year. He embraces transformations, like dying his hair blonde for a role. He is comfortable in his own skin, unbothered and unpretentious, like showing up for his guesting on Edward Barber’s “The Painfully Human Podcast” in <em>tsinelas</em>. </p><p>But this cool guy can easily transition to model mode in no time. And designers love dressing him up not only for his physique that gives justice to their creations, but also the vibe and attitude he carries with him. Whether oversized or form-fitting, structured or avant-garde tailoring, Kyle can pull them off with a mix of edge and nonchalance. </p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1770600692564embed_metro artist spotlight kyle cinco_8.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1770600925665embed_metro artist spotlight kyle cinco_9.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>In this exclusive fashion editorial, Kyle collaborated with world-renowned fashion designer <strong>Michael Cinco </strong>to create a visual narrative that bridges the gap between street edge and high-fashion luxury.</p><p>The celebrated designer told Metro.Style, “Kyle Echarri in Michael Cinco is the ultimate fusion of streetwear edge and couture glamour. Draped in streetwear-inspired denims, shirts, and exquisitely laser-cut oversized jackets, he elevates urban style to high-fashion heights, showcasing a bold, modern aesthetic that is fearless, unforgettable, and cementing his status as a style icon for a new generation.”</p><p>What makes Kyle Echarri truly compelling is his versatility. His fashion sense adds layers to his personality, which acting has lent depth to. And, as he continues to take on more challenging roles and push the envelope in showbiz or fashion, he stands out as an artist whose goal is to constantly evolve. And through it all, he shows that in the world of entertainment, the most stylish thing you can be is yourself.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1770602835402embed_metro artist spotlight kyle cinco_10.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><p>All clothes by <strong>Michael Cinco</strong></p><p>Photography by <strong>Rozen Antonio</strong></p><p>Produced by <strong>Ryan Banks</strong></p><p>Styled by <strong>John Klint Vasquez</strong></p>
