Ping is an occasional artists, he is the son of character actor Pen Medina. The Truth is, He's Pretty too. But being pretty is the last thing on Ping Medina's mind. The 23-year-old, whose first acting job was as the young Jose Rizal in the film by Marilou Diaz-Abaya, has bigger things to care about. Things like his Cinemalaya project with Dennis Marasigan — an ensemble film called "Tukso," in which he would star with Ricky Davao, Soliman Cruz, Irma Adlawan and others. Things like playing the guitar and recording a demo with his band, Hello Ebro. Things like figuring out his real role in Philippine cinema.
Ping has been in the industry for 10 years now and although mall tours and provincial shows are not part of his itinerary, he does have a huge fan base. Actually, he has two kinds — the first made up of people who loved him as Kuya Bogs in Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros and the second are the people who have seen him on television, in shows like Etheria and the afternoon soap Makita Ka Lang Muli, both aired on GMA 7. He gets recognized when he's out and is asked to pose for photos and sign autographs but Ping finds a deeper connection with fans who he can really talk to about his work and about his passions. And he has a lot of passion for his craft. He has notable performances and earned MANUNURI (URIAN) Best Supporting Actor nomination for the film Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros.
