Doctor Judge
By Robbie Pangilinan
Famous and trusted beauty doctor to the stars Manny Calayan is changing professions starting Monday. From being a doctor, he will now be a judge.
But no, Doc Manny will not appear on a trial court, hearing cases and making judicial decisions. He will be on ABSCBN’s noontime program Showtime as one of the judges or “hurado,” the select few given the power to make contestants win or lose.
The pioneer of Smartlipo and Vaserlipo in the Philippines, two revolutionary fat removal procedures that are safe alternatives to traditional liposuction, is “very excited” to be on the show with good friends Boy Abunda, Joel Cruz and arch-enemy (but only professionally) Vicki Belo.
Doc Manny has the right to be a judge of a talent contest, being talented himself in signing. He made it to the top list of Celebrity Duets’ Philippine Edition Season 1. Among the 8 contestants, he was the 5th eliminated. He sang duets with the country’s best singers: Rachel Alejandro, Faith Cuneta, Allan K., Keempee de Leon, K Brosas, Aicelle Santos, Jenine Desiderio, Jeffrey Hidalgo, Brenan Espartinez, and Karel Marquez.
The founder of Calayan Surgicentre will be in Showtime starting October 17 after the eviction of the show’s longest staying judge Ryan Bang.
Ryan was taken out of the show after the public or “madlang people” decided through text votes to evict him among the current judges that included Dimples Romana, Jhing Hilaro, Andrei Felix and Jeffrey Tam. He was in the show for 48 weeks. Vice Ganda, the show’s “unevictable judge,” cried buckets of tears when the Korean young star was voted out.
Expect the doctor turned judge to render a “sample” at the show. It’s showtime! #
