MANILA – As Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Enrique Nieto arrive on Tuesday to attend this year’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders’ Meeting in the Philippines, many Filipinos could not help but get their eyes fixated on these two now dubbed as the ‘APEC hotties.’
Both Trudeau and Nieto started trending on social media since their touch down at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) – even members of the media on standby at the airport tried to get a ‘selfie’ with them from afar.
The hashtag #APEChotties became trending shortly afterwards on Twitter, with #TeamTrudeau and #TeamNieto pitting the looks and charms of both leaders.

Regarded as the ‘sexiest leader’ in the free world, Trudeau seemed to have a larger following of supporters and admirers.
