Jomari Yllana is a Filipino actor, model, and politician. He gained fame in the 1990s for his roles in Filipino television dramas and films. Yllana was known for his good looks and acting skills, earning a fan base during his career as an actor. Over the years, he starred in several TV shows and movies, becoming a prominent figure in the entertainment industry. He was part of all-male group “Gwapings.”
Gwapings was a popular Filipino “teen heartthrob” group in the early 1990s. The group was formed by the television network ABS-CBN and was composed of young male actors who were considered handsome and charming by the Filipino audience. The other members of Gwapings, aside from Jom, were Mark Anthony Fernandez, Eric Fructuoso, and Jao Mapa.

The group’s popularity grew due to their appearances in various films, TV shows, and commercials, where their youthful appeal and good looks captured the attention of many. They became the Filipino version of a boy band, known for their charm and presence.
Gwapings helped elevate these actors’ careers in both television and film, with some members later pursuing individual acting and political careers. The group itself was active during the 1990s but eventually disbanded as the members shifted to solo projects.
Later in his career, Yllana transitioned into politics. He served as a councilor of Parañaque, a city in Metro Manila, and has been involved in public service. He is also known for his personal life, having been involved in high-profile relationships, including with actress Aiko Melendez, with whom he has a child.
