This very photogenic vegetable farmer is setting hearts ablaze in the Philippines, after a Facebook user spotted the man and circulated his photos online.

The farmer from rural Sagada, Mountain Province, was identified within a day as Jeyrick Sigmaton by a very enthusiastic fanbase, and has started to trend with the hashtag #carrotman.

Fans are likening his looks to a variety of Asian celebrities, from Korean actor Lee Min-ho to Hong Kong director Stephen Fung, and local actor Hero Angeles.




Sigmaton should thank an Edwina T. Bandong who shot the initial shots of him and helped send his mug to fame.

Facebook users have also possibly tracked down the farmer's account. We've contacted that person for comment. According to that account, he has attended University of the Cordilleras.
