SHE'S the only one who can deliver those promo spiels on television without making us laugh.

A Studio 23 VJ for four years, Trisha Chiongbian now revs us up at 7 p.m. every Saturday night on "Gameplan" (she's been having fun with Carlo Ledesma and Akiko Thompson for two years).

An adventurer, she's hasn't passed up a chance to join events like the Adventure Race (Team Gameplan won second) and the San Mig Light Enduro.

She has just signed a contract with Levi's for its 501 Women's Campaign. Two weeks ago she hosted the Meg Anniversary party.

2bU! caught with her and asked 20 totally random questions. Her only concern? "I think my answers are kinda corny. Tell me honestly, are they corny?"
