Meet Paulo Avelino’s Siblings: Gabriel Avelino, Angela Avelino, and Honey Avelino

Paulo Avelino, born Michael Paulo Lingbanan Avelino on May 13, 1988, in Baguio City, Philippines, is a renowned Filipino actor, singer, model, and film producer of Spanish-Filipino descent.

Raised in a Roman Catholic household, he is the son of Roberto Puigcerver Avelino, who has Spanish roots, and Jennilyn Lingbanan, a native Filipina. Paulo is the second of four siblings—Gabriel, Honey, and Angela—growing up in a close-knit family with a notable political lineage. His grandfather, Baltazar Avelino, once served as the governor of Samar, while his great-grandfather, Jose Avelino, held the esteemed position of Senate President.

He completed his high school education at Ateneo de Manila University and later pursued a degree in business administration at Far Eastern University. However, his passion for the arts led him to shift gears and enter showbiz after participating in GMA Network’s StarStruck in 2006.

Since then, Paulo has built a solid reputation in Philippine entertainment, with standout performances in hit television dramas such as Walang Hanggan (2012), Bridges of Love (2015), and The General’s Daughter (2019). He also made a mark in film, especially through his critically acclaimed roles in historical epics like Heneral Luna (2015) and Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral (2018).

While he has become a household name, Paulo remains deeply connected to his family. Unlike their famous brother, Gabriel, Honey, and Angela Avelino have kept relatively private lives, choosing to stay out of the public eye. Nonetheless, their strong sibling bond and family-oriented values have played a key role in shaping the man behind the screen.

Gabriel Avelino

Gabriel Avelino, the brother of actor Paulo Avelino, maintains a private life away from the public spotlight. Unlike Paulo, who has built a prominent career in the entertainment industry, Gabriel has chosen a quieter path, with few details about his personal or professional life made public.

As a member of the distinguished Avelino family—descended from former Samar governor Baltazar Avelino and Senate President Jose Avelino—Gabriel is part of a lineage with deep historical roots in the Philippines. While Paulo has not spoken much about him in interviews or on social media, their close-knit family dynamic suggests a strong bond between the siblings.

Gabriel’s low-key presence reflects a preference for privacy, focusing on pursuits outside of public attention.

Honey Avelino

Honey Avelino, the eldest among the Avelino siblings, has made a few appearances in the public eye, setting her apart from her more private brothers. In 2014, she gained attention as a contestant on the Philippine reality show I Do, where she joined the competition alongside her then-boyfriend, Emil Bautista.

During her time on the show, Honey expressed a strong interest in pursuing a career in entertainment, particularly in hosting or reporting. She openly admired her younger brother Paulo’s acting skills, sharing that after attending acting workshops herself, she developed a deeper appreciation for the demands of the craft.

Honey also gave fans a rare glimpse into the Avelino family dynamic, describing Paulo as a quiet and reserved person, even during his younger years. While on I Do, she briefly addressed speculation about Paulo’s rumored romance with actress KC Concepcion, mentioning that she had never met KC but thought she seemed “pretty” and “mabait” (kind).

Known for her bubbly and outgoing personality, Honey also revealed her love for animals, describing herself as a devoted pet lover who grew up with a household full of rabbits, dogs, and cats. Although she hasn’t pursued a long-term career in showbiz following her stint on I Do, Honey left a memorable impression with her charm, wit, and obvious pride in being Paulo Avelino’s sister.

Angela Avelino

Angela Avelino, the youngest of the Avelino siblings, has chosen to lead a life away from the spotlight. Much like her brother Gabriel, she maintains a low profile, and little is publicly known about her personal or professional pursuits.

While Paulo Avelino occasionally expresses his love for his family in interviews and on social media, he remains careful not to share too much about his siblings, respecting their preference for privacy. Angela, like the rest of the Avelino family, shares deep roots in Calbayog, Western Samar, through their father, Roberto Puigcerver Avelino—a Spanish-Filipino—and their mother, Jennilyn Lingbanan.

Although her current endeavors remain under wraps, Angela’s quiet presence is a reflection of the close bond the Avelino siblings share, even as some of them remain out of the public eye.
