Xian Lim says he has not received the worst of Twitter tirades, only comments that critique his acting.

After capturing hearts in ABS-CBN's recently-concluded primetime soap My Binondo Girl, Xian Lim's face is here to stay on television—and now even on print advertisements and billboards along main avenues.

At the launch of Globe Telecom's new offer at noon today, March 23, at Mario's restaurant on Tomas Morato, Quezon City, Xian was announced as the new face of the company.

After playing the winsome Andy Wu, Kim Chiu's love pair in My Binondo Girl, Xian's face is becoming more visible through commercials; more recently in television advertisements for a shampoo brand and a popular fast food chain.  

"Sobrang saya ko na they gave me the trust. And I'm really happy that the day's finally here, nandito tayo sa launch.

"Excited ako. That's all I can say," tells a fresh-looking Xian at the said press conference today.

As the telecommunications company's latest promo offers the unlimited access to social networking sites Facebook and Twitter through Internet-capable cell phones, inquiries on how Twitter bashing against celebrities has gotten out of hand, were hurled at Xian.

The 22-year-old actor, who keeps a Facebook and Twitter account, expressed how he has not been spared from receiving positive and negative feedback.

Xian states, "Sa mga negative comments about me, I don't really pay attention that much...

"For me, babasahin ko siya... it's just good room for improvement din, e. 'Pag in-analyze ng konti: 'Bakit kaya nila sinasabi yun?'"

The actor says he receives criticism about his acting.

"Sa akin naman po, kasi mga nababasa ko lang po is parang minsan... hindi nila nagustuhan yung eksena, nagrereklamo sila bakit daw ganyan-ganyan... Yun lang po yun.

"Pero hindi pa naman ako nakaka-experience ng sobra-sobrang pag-atake sa akin. Pero... I'd know how to handle it."

Xian focuses mostly on the good comments.

"Lahat po kasing [ng] binabasa ko [ay] yung mga magaganda, e.

"'Pag nakikita ko yung [mga comment na,] 'Ay, parang hindi masyado pumatak yung luha niya dun!' yung mga ganun, e, di next time talagang papapatakin ko na yung [luha ko] nang todo-todo!"

    Xian is a very effective commercial endorser and uses Twitter, etc. a lot to plug his shows and endorsements. His great attitude shines through to people...so strong is his mass appeal even his McDo standees are a "tourist attraction". McDo, Globe and the rest of the companies who have tapped him as their endorser could not have chosen a better one! Go Xian!

    ewan ko pero hindi ako ngguwapuhan kay xian.. obvious naman na nagamit nya si kim chiu and swerte nya sa kapalaran nya na sa tinagal tagal sa showbiz ngayon lang sumikat.. pero hindi nya massustain ang kasikatan kase wala naman siyang talento sa pag arte kumanta na lang sya hahahaha... sa tv ads naman napaka dull at pangit ng ads nya halatang feign ang pagkain...

    Wag nyo na idamay si Sharon. Ibang situation yon. Anak na nya ang binabalihura nung mga bashers. Gagawin nyo rin yon kung naging nanay kayo. Yun iba nga mapintasan lang idol nila na hindi naman nila kadugo todo defense at handang gyerahin yung mga taong sa tingin nilang nangaapi sa idol nila what more kung kadugo mo na yung pinagsasabihan ng masama.

    Hulaan ko kung saan galing young mga nega feedbacks. Yung mga tards na groupong di maka-move on yan. Pinipilit yung dating lt na matagal nang pinaglipasan ng panahon. Tanggapin nyo na ang katotohanan after Kim naging Bea at now si Sarah na gusto ni Gerald. Kung balak nyang makipagbalikan noon pa. At si Kim nakipagdate na rin yan sa iba at ngayon kung si Xian gusto nya pabayaan nyo sila.Buhay nila yan, fans lang kayo.

    Agree. One versus a hundred...take the hundred. There will always be criticism not matter how good you are, it's part of the deal. How you handle the bad certainly defines who you are.

    ang kaso nga si sharon di marunong tumanggap ng mga negative criticisms eh, dapat lang di nya pansinin yon.tingnan nyo si kris aquino kung ano ano ang mga pangit na tinatanggap si marian at angel pero dedma lang.sabagay good or bad .... publicities pa rin yon lalo pa at malapit ng i air ang show nya
