Given the grim nature of competitions this present time, is it still possible to have a fanbase which would cling to decent actions? If your answer is no, you probably haven’t heard of the Enzopporters.
The Enzopporters is a fresh group of people who simply aimed to support Enzo Pineda on his journey on Starstruck V. On the 29th of November 2009, a thread dedicated to him on PinoyExchange.com(PEx) brought to light the Enzopporters, a shortened term for Enzo and Supporters. The other choices for the group name were Enzolites (Enzo+Elite for Starstruck V Elite Explosion) and Enzophinoes (Enzo+fans or phinoes). Enzopporters became the official fanbase title when Enzo Pineda himself thanked and recognized the name on a shoutout episode in December 10, 2009.
Enzopporters started out with members from the online forum PEx, but was extended to the “real” world after their first meet-up in the first elimination night of Starstruck V. Now, the Enzopporters is composed of more than 60 people from online forums, people who come and cheer for Enzo and Enzsarah every live elimination nights and mall shows and hundreds of people who vote for him on Starstruck V through text and online voting. The Enzopporters is comprised of people from all walks of life, from different places across the country, may that be in Luzon, Visayas or Mindanao or even outside the country, people from different age brackets and backgrounds. Of course the numero uno fans of Enzo would be his family and friends. Even the high-profiled Mr. Eric Pineda created a PEx account, in the name of enzodad, in response to the request of Enzopporters. Enzo also has an account on PEx that he still uses, despite the barrier of "isolation" in virtue of the Quarter 1110.
What makes Enzopporters unique and unified are the values that they keep upholding, which are summarized as E-N-Z-O-P-P-O-R-T-E-R-S: Esteemed, Noble, Zealous, Open-Minded, Polite, Persevere, Optimistic, Reputable, Tactful, Encouraged, Remarkable, Smart. It is no less than Enzo Pineda who inspired the Enzopporters to make a difference by being “the light among the dark” as per Enzo’s favourite song, “Liwanag sa Dilim.” A visit on his thread might end the misgivings.
While others resort to trash-talking against other contenders, the Enzopporters keep itself firm on the principle spearheaded by Enzo. Amidst the derogatory comments others have posted upon Enzo, the course of action only boils down to two: defending Enzo or ignoring them at all.
Now on its third thread on PinoyExchange, the Enzopporters has been stronger than ever and after a meeting headed by Mr. Eric Pineda, the father of Enzo, Enzopporters became more of a force to reckon with on the competition, paving the way for the alternate name, the Enzoforce.
We don’t know how things in the competition will turn out but one thing is for sure: Enzopporters will always stay by Enzo’s side and will manifest the inspiration that we have been getting from Enzo since day one of his Starstruck Journey. It is not actually the competitiveness of Enzo that was admired by many but his positive spirit, motivation and humility in the world of mayhem called showbusiness. This inspired the Enzopporters to also do their best in everything, always keep positive and succeed without stepping on others.
We are the Enzopporters, and we are proud of it.
