<p>Heartfelt and authentic stories that revolve around the many facets of love and self-discovery will be returning to the fourth season of &ldquo;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/8/29/queer-dating-show-sparks-camp-heats-up-with-season-4-introduces-new-campers-in-quest-for-love-1910" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Sparks Camp</strong></a>,&rdquo; which will bring together more adventurous queer campers making connections within a familiar beach paradise.&nbsp;</p><p>Among the ten campers chosen to embark on the quest for genuine romantic relationship is 31-year-old cisgender male Joaquin Espiritu, also referred to as &ldquo;The Walkin&rsquo; Conyo Heartthrob&rdquo; from Caloocan City. The 5&#39;9&quot; flight attendant not only traveled the globe but also bravely ventured into various professions, ranging from PR manager to modeling, before finally joining the cabin crew.&nbsp;</p><p>Joaquin&rsquo;s emotional maturity was shaped by several lived experiences, which included dealing with heartbreak, struggling to find self-worth, overcoming internal homophobia, and building a fulfilling life outside of romantic relationships.&nbsp;</p><div>&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe width="315" height="576" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/C5-gOmaVQbI" title="#SparksCampJoaquin aka The Walkin' Conyo Heartthrob! | Sparks Camp Season 4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br></div><p>Being a sleek player, Joaquin usually presents himself as a polished, confident, and socially experienced individual, but before reaching this level, he actually spent a long time figuring out where he belonged. &nbsp;</p><p>Finding his true sense of self began after his religious schooling. While navigating these institutions led him to constantly adapt, he turned out to be a natural people person, yet with quite a guarded heart.&nbsp;</p><p>Presently, Joaquin defines himself as someone who reads the room before speaking his mind. Contrary to some first impressions of him as being cold or intimidating, he considers himself to be &ldquo;Mr. Congeniality,&rdquo; who truly delights in connecting with others once he feels safe.&nbsp;</p><p>Meet Joaquin Espiritu as a camper on the Philippines&#39; first-ever queer dating reality show, &ldquo;Sparks Camp,&rdquo; streaming on <a href="https://app.iwanttfc.com/dFR6MWHAcVb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>iWant&nbsp;</strong></a>this September 16.&nbsp;</p><p>Viewers can get early access to each episode through <a href="https://app.iwanttfc.com/dFR6MWHAcVb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>iWant&#39;s&nbsp;</strong></a>subscription plans, starting at P35 per month in the Philippines, and USD 4.99 per month in the United States* (*promo price until October 31, 2026) and for the rest of the world.&nbsp;</p><p>Enjoy all the feels you want, only on <a href="https://app.iwanttfc.com/dFR6MWHAcVb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>iWant</strong></a>, the Home of Filipino feels.
