If you were a fan of FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano, you definitely remember Onyok—the adorable little boy who stole hearts across the country with his wit, charm, and undeniable acting talent. Played by child actor Simon “Onyok” Pineda, he became one of the show’s most beloved characters. But where is he now? And what does he look like today?

It’s hard to forget Onyok’s early days on screen. With his innocent face, infectious laugh, and natural chemistry with Coco Martin, he quickly became a fan favorite. His scenes brought comic relief, heartwarming moments, and emotional depth to a show filled with action and drama.

Onyok joined Ang Probinsyano when he was just five years old. Despite his young age, he held his own alongside veteran actors. Viewers were impressed by how naturally he delivered his lines, often bringing smiles to audiences nationwide.

Off-screen, Simon “Onyok” Pineda also enjoyed popularity. He appeared in variety shows, guest interviews, and was even signed under a major talent agency. Brands tapped him for endorsements, and he became a regular presence on television for several years.

But as with many child stars, time passed—and Onyok slowly stepped away from the limelight. Fans noticed his absence and began wondering what happened to the little boy they had grown to love.

Now, several years later, Onyok is no longer the tiny, curly-haired toddler fans remember. He’s grown into a confident young teen with a whole new look! Gone are the chubby cheeks and baby voice—in their place is a more mature version of the same charming kid, complete with a bright smile and his signature charisma.

Recent photos circulating online show Onyok looking taller, leaner, and stylish. He now wears his hair in a neater cut, and his fashion sense has noticeably matured. Some fans were shocked at how fast he grew up, while others expressed their joy at seeing him flourish.

Though he has taken a step back from showbiz, Onyok hasn’t disappeared completely. He occasionally updates his social media accounts with photos from school, family gatherings, and hobbies. From all appearances, he is living a happy and balanced life, enjoying his teenage years away from the spotlight.

Sources close to his family say that he’s focusing on his studies and personal development for now. There have been talks of a possible comeback, but nothing has been confirmed yet. Still, fans are hopeful that he will one day return to television or film.

Despite his hiatus, Onyok remains a symbol of the golden years of Ang Probinsyano. His impact on the show and his contribution to its success are still remembered fondly. Many agree that the earlier seasons of the series wouldn’t have been the same without him.

What made Onyok so special wasn’t just his cuteness—it was his authenticity. He acted not just with his words, but with his eyes and expressions. He could make viewers laugh in one scene and tear up in the next. It’s a rare gift, especially for someone so young.

Today, as he enjoys life away from the camera, Onyok is growing into a new chapter—one that’s full of possibilities. Whether he chooses to return to acting or pursue a different path entirely, one thing is certain: the Philippines will always remember the little boy who brought joy to millions.

So, do you still remember Onyok? We sure do. And now that he’s all grown up, we’re excited to see what the future holds for him!
