According to a well-informed source, John Lloyd Cruz is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2025. But while the actor's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.

Why not Cruz for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 41-year-old actor, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Cruz so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the actor have already been named ‘Filipino Of The Year’ by some major Filipino newspapers and even ‘Pasay City Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Pasay City (John Lloyd Cruz's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the actor was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“#CruzPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”

“Congrats! John has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 21 Dec 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not John Lloyd Cruz?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 21 Dec 2024
Could 2025 officially be the Year of John Lloyd Cruz?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2025?
