Biography

Angelo Diego Castro III is the son of veteran broadcast journalists, June Keithley and the late Angelo Castro Jr.[2]

He started his career in front the camera as an actor in a series of soap operas and TV commercials. He started acting in theater at the age of 11, appearing in plays by Fr. James B. Reuter productions.

Away from the glare of the spotlight, he is an accomplished chef. He graduated from Culinary Arts Management back in 2004 and was Executive Chef for two major food brands in the Philippines. He currently owns a restaurant called Lord of the Wings.

His journalistic genes and love for the dishes paved the way for him being a resident host and cook in UNTV’s morning program Good Morning Kuya.

He has appeared in several TV series in the Philippines, including Esperanza (1997), Growing Up (1997) and Gulong ng Palad (2006) to name a few.
