After an incredible Olympic run, this Filipino pole vault star is capturing hearts with his strong principles, sports advocacy, and unbeatable style.

Social media is buzzing with fans who can’t get enough of EJ’s edited clips, radiant smile, and unyielding spirit. 

His charisma and fighting spirit have not only made him a national hero but also made pole vaulting a sport to watch.

Curious about what makes this national heartthrob tick?

In Mimiyuuuh’s latest vlog, EJ takes a lie detector test and reveals what it’s like to be the ultimate boyfriend ng Bayan.

 

Throwback to EJ and Mimiyuuuh’s kilig moment

An old YouTube vlog featuring Mimiyuuuh, Alyssa Valdez, and EJ Obiena just blew up online.

The clip has everyone cracking up and feeling all the kilig, thanks to Mimiyuuuh’s priceless reaction to the pole vaulter.

In the vlog from November 2023, when Valdez asked Mimiyuuuh about her type, she couldn’t help but gaze at EJ, and it was the cutest thing ever. Fans are totally vibing with Mimiyuuuh’s simping over EJ.

Same Mimiyuuuh, same.

Reunion with a twist

Fast forward to now, and Mimiyuuuh and EJ are back together—only this time, it’s got a fun twist.

In a hilarious lie detector test, Mimiyuuuh put the 28-year-old pole vault star in the hot seat, grilling him about his dating preferences. 

EJ Obiena has opened up about his love language, and it’s all about quality time. In the hustle and bustle of an athlete’s life, time becomes a precious symbol of affection.

The Filipino Olympian also dropped some wisdom on gift-giving. He believes the thoughtfulness behind saving up and buying a gift makes it truly special. 

“May tao na may 100 [pesos] and may tao na may piso. ‘Yong may 100, nagbigay ng piso. ‘Yong may piso, binigay niya ‘yong piso. Like, who gives more?” 

EJ’s perspective on love and generosity is as inspiring as his athletic achievements.

Life and Sports

Aside from his love life, the nation’s boyfriend also got real about his journey in sports. Mimiyuuuh asked him, “Do you think sports changed your life?” and EJ replied with a heartfelt, “Definitely.”

He shared how being an Olympian seemed like a distant dream back in the day. “As a kid, I never imagined I’d be here. I just wanted to clear five meters, and now, here I am, one meter beyond that. It’s been an incredible journey, achieving things I never thought possible,” EJ reminisced.

But here’s the real tea—Mimiyuuuh hit EJ with the big question: “May chance ba tayo?” To which EJ shot back with a friendly, “As a friend, of course.”

Even though Mimiyuuuh got friend-zoned, their playful chemistry as friends is totally worth watching. 

EJ is happily taken, though, in a loving relationship with German athlete Caroline Joyeux for four years now.

 

With his natural charm, charisma, and dedication to Philippine sports, our pambansang jowa is definitely still worth simping for.
