Harold Pineda

After his success in the Ginoong Pilipinas (or is it Ginoong Filipinas?) pageant, the actor acknowledged his likely appearance in sexy films once he crosses the threshold to show business. Indeed, his first movie was Jeffrey Jeturian’s Pila Balde which, luckily for him, enjoyed commercial and critical success in the country and even abroad. The title may literally mean lining up for water but don’t be fooled, because it actually connotes a gang bang – a girl with guys lining up to have sex with her, Harold being one of them. The movie discusses life in the slums. In spite of (or because of) the movie’s roguish sex scenes, it succeeded in exposing the political and social mayhems of the characters . . . and flourished Harold Pineda’s name in the movies.

Since then, Harold appeared in several sex-themed films including Favorite Subject: Sex Education (with Angela Velez), School Frats (also starring Gina Alajar, Isko Moreno and Cherry Pie Picache), Sagad, Masarap Habang Mainit, Alipin ng Tukso and Biglang Liko. He has been called ‘Telag King’ after admitting that his ‘mushroom of love’ reacts on its own whenever he’s doing a sexy scene – something he only laughed at. “It’s only normal,” said Harold. Such lame publicities are considered normal those days, if I may add. They always love attention. Business, as usual.

During those years, Harold was a hot potato in almost all gay rags as well. Matter of fact, he’s one of the most daring in the pictorials – showing more skin (and scourged manliness) than we can anticipate. But like most sexy stars, Harold’s career was ephemeral and slowly ended up in oblivion. So please don’t kill me for resurrecting the dead. *LOL* I’ll celebrate a comeback though.
