Director, starmaker, mentor, father, second father, showbiz icon just a few appellations that Johnny Manahan or Mr. M is called. Having been in showbiz for more than 30 years, he has witnessed many stars rise and fall. For the longest time, he has dealt with stars on a director-talent level but for the past 15 years, as manager-talent, being ABS-CBN Star Magic's (formerly the Talent Center) Senior Vice President. Mr. M started in television with pre-martial law ABS-CBN. He transferred to Channels 9 and 13 to work on the children’s show "Kaluskos Musmos" and the sitcom "Chicks to Chicks" and returned to ABS-CBN when it reopened in 1986. The relaunch was successful but the problem was, there had no stars because they were under contract with Regal, Seiko and Viva.
