Vice Ganda is the newest Calayan endorser

AFTER MARVIN AGUSTIN, Dr. Manny Calayan also got Vice Ganda as his newest endorser. "Ano naman ang pababago mo?" a writer asks Vice.

"Ang ugali ko," he laughs. "Actually, I need maintenance for skin care. Kasi lagi akong ngarag, kulang sa tulog, laging naka-make up, so I need Dr. Calayan's help para mas gumanda ang skin ko. Tapos, pangarap ko ring magkaroon ng billboard at bibigyan daw ako niyon."

So he's aware that folks find him to "mapang-okray" (overly critical) as a judge in "Showtime"? "Yes, I'm aware they find me maldita. But then, I have to maintain that kasi hindi naman puedeng lahat na kami, pa-sweet. Kaya ako, sinasabi ko talaga what I have in mind. Kung bored ako o talagang napangitan ako sa performance, I blurt it out kaysa naman magpaka-plastic ako."

His career took off after he supported Ate Vi in "In My Life" and his exposure in "Showtime". "Ang dami talagang blessings na dumarating. I'm also in Judy Ann Santos and Sarah Geronimo in 'Hating Kapatid'. Ako yung maid nila pero ang feeling ko, kapatid nila ko. After this, I'll start shooting my launching movie, 'Petrang Kabayo', to be directed by Wenn Deramas. Sabi ko, huwag namin gayahin si Roderick Paulate sa original kasi ang galing-galing niya at di ko siya magagaya. I have to play Petra my own way."

And he'll also have a big concert at Araneta Coliseum on May 15, "May Nag-Text, Vice Ganda in Araneta". "Naku, sobrang takot at pressured ako dun. When the producer, Cora Rodrigo, offered to do it for me, nagpresyo kami ng manager kong si Ogie Diaz nang tipong tatangihan kami, pero kinagat pa rin so wala na kong nagawa. But I'm glad ang daming gustong tumulong para mag-guest sa concert ko."

His career is obviously doing well. How about his lovelife? "May boyfriend ako pero di ganun ka-serious kasi bihira na kaming magkita. Priority ko naman kasi itong career ko. Ang daming magandang nangyayari, e."
