John Paul Joseph Cadayona (born March 3, 1989 in Las Piñas City) also known his screen name as Sef Cadayona is an actor who came from the fifth season of StarStruck. Sef is being called as the male Sheena Halili for portraying sidekick roles in the series that he belonged to. The series where he became a sidekick are Ilumina (2010) as the best friend of Aljur Abrenica, Time of My Life (2011) as the gay best friend of Kris Bernal, Alice Bungisngis and her Wonder Walis (2012) as the sidekick of Jean Garcia; in Together Forever as best friend of Julie Ann San Jose and currently in Mundo Mo'y Akin (2013) as the best friend of Alden Richards' role. Aside from his sidekick roles, Sef also is getting attention because of his gay portrayals in several GMA Network shows. --- He was a grade-school graduate of Marist School in Marikina City. He finished high school in Divine Light Academy in Las Piñas City. Cadayona sacrificed his studies of Media Arts in San Beda Alabang to join StarStruck. --- Sef already made some TV appearances through the commercial of an ice cream brand that made a signature due to the weird scenarios on how to spend the 20 peso bill that is still on the air. Sef made it to the final fourteen last November, 2009 with Steven Silva and Sarah Lahbati who got the Ultimate Survivor title for male and female, respectively. He was considered as one of the threats for the boys because he was very active and he excelled in almost every tasks that were being given to them. During the dancing week given Douglas Nierras as the mentor, he gave 100% of his performance and had a chance to perform on stage paired with Nina Kodaka who finished 6th in the competition. However, during that week, he was included in the bottom group where Zeryl Lim went home. In the following week, he was again included in the bottom group together with Princess Snell and the first timer by then, Rox Montealegre, where he was declared as the fourth avenger. He accepted his fate that time with humility. He said that what happened to him is just the beginning and just pray no matter what. --- Sef is part of one of the high-rated primetime series in the network. In Mundo Mo'y Akin, Sef is Nonoy, who is the friend of Jerome (Alden Richards), who also works in the resort owned by the Carbonels. Nonoy knows about the special relationship between Jerome Alvarez and Darlene Carbonel (Lauren Young) and soon notices Marilyn Mendoza's (Louise de los Reyes) feelings for his friend. Nonoy has a biting and sarcastic wit, serving as somewhat of a comic relief throughout the series. Because of this, having four regular shows, Sef is one of the busiest actors of the network nowadays. So far, Sef has one film for 2013, and that is the Marian Rivera - Richard Gutierrez-starred film, My Lady Boss, under GMA Films and Regal Entertainment.
