Ben & Ben & Ben? Rowell Santiago completes ‘triplets’
While it is not rare for artists in show business and the music industry (even in the indie scene) to meet because of the overlap of their celebrity worlds, amusement is in the air when a certain meet-up feels like some sort of a family reunion.
Lead artists of the indie folk-pop band Ben&Ben, twins Paolo Benjamin Guico and Miguel Benjamin Guico are already dubbed as ‘cute’ by netizens who find their interaction and teasing online and offline endearing. Indeed they are more than just “two identical faces” as apart from the talents they display when they take the stage, their relationship as brothers is another thing that their fans are fond of.
Adding one more look-a-like did not seem so possible aside from having a mirror, until actor-director Rowell Santiago – totally not a “Ben” – meets them, and this cuteness is bad for the heart!
In an Instagram post that Rowell posted on Monday, November 26, he could not help but caption it with “I finally found them,” as if he just met his long lost twin boys or even twin brothers.
Sporting a pair of spectacles that coincidentally seemed to be similar to the glasses frames of the twins, Rowell firstly took a selfie with Miguel, then another with the two. They say that you look exactly like seven other persons in the world, and looks like with this meeting, the twins just need to find six more.
Adding the hashtag #wearefamily made online users adore the lead singers of the band and the director more.
Poking fun on the evident identical features of the three despite not sharing the same blood, the post by Rowell was filled with comments of laughter.
Instagram user @cams.n could not help but comment, “you could pass as their dad!”
Meanwhile, @gienmoto wrote, “Mr. President ‘di ka po nagsasabi triplets po pala kayo (you did not even tell us that you guys are triplets),” referring to his role as President Oscar Hidalgo in the long-running television drama “Ang Probinsyano.”
Another user also pointed, “This is probably the only picture I’ve seen of them smiling. They’re usually poker-faced,” according to @supermommeye.
