Single/Single, an award-winning series aired on Cinema One in partnership with PhilStar TV, recently kicked off its second season at the Cinema One Open Air Cinema at Sur Resort, Boracay.
Following a successful season last year, Single/Single will have another 14 –episode season tackling the theme of adulthood and revolving around millennial issues. Starring Matteo Guidicelli as Joey and Shaina Magdayao as Joee, the witty take of Single/Single on millennial dilemmas marked the series as a show for young adults and their coming of age.
Written by Palanca winner Lilit Reyes and directed by internationally recognized filmmaker Pepe Diokno, Single/Single won the Silver Anvil Awards last year – an award given to public relation programs that meet high standards in their category – for its helpful financial advises subtly intertwined in the script.
Season 2 will definitely be more exciting as the main characters continue their journey, find out how they will grow as people and how they will grow their careers.
Watch out for Single/Single Season 2 starting May 15 on Cinema One. It will air every Sunday at 10 p.m. with replays at 9 p.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Calayans in Cebu
Cebu’s health consciousness has vastly evolved over the past decade, with the surge of holistic fitness and wellness services such as yoga, meditation and natural therapies. The sector, represented by private-public sector coalition Cebu Health and Wellness Council (CHWC), has also been receiving support from the Department of Tourism (DOT) and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), who have worked together to bolster Cebu as the medical tourism destination of the Philippines.
These developments in Cebu have inspired the formidable tandem of Drs. Manny and Pie Calayan to bring their breakthrough brand of wholistic dermatology and cosmetic surgery to the thriving health and wellness sector.
This coming July, Manny and Pie Calayan Clinic opens its doors in Cebu by way of its newest branch located at the 3rd floor of SM Seaside Mall’s Seaview Wing, SRP Road, Cebu City.
Clients can now experience the same personalized and caring treatment that have endeared the doctor couple to their patients, both in Metro Manila and in other parts of the country.
Despite having established their Calayan Surgicentre brand for the past years, the couple decided to change their brand name to Manny and Pie Calayan Clinic to distinguish themselves from the proliferation of unauthorized clinics operating under the Calayan brand.
“We’ve gained global expertise and valuable experience from our US stint and this enables us to bring our practice to a whole new level, and make these available to Filipinos,” says Dr. Manny Calayan.
Dr. Pie Calayan, a vegan, yoga practitioner and advocate of alternative treatments, has infused a holistic approach into their practice, providing patients with care that goes beyond physical procedures and addresses their entire sense of well-being – body, mind and psyche.
“It’s no longer just about looking good on the outside, but also feeling good on the inside,” she shares. “For instance, when patients come to me for acne treatments, we don’t just address the obvious symptoms. We unravel every factor that could be causing their breakouts—dietary, environmental, even spiritual—and aid our patients in addressing these root causes.”
The same approach is also employed with patients undergoing Dr. Manny’s cosmetic procedures. “We provide them with recommendations on how they can maintain their post-surgical figures for long-lasting and sustainable results,” adds Dr. Pie.
After 20 successful years in the business, Drs. Manny and Pie still continue to provide personalized dermatological and surgical service to their patients.
“Pie and I are definitely very hands-on with our approach. We conduct consultations directly with clients, and are easily reachable for any questions. Whether in the Visayas, Davao or Manila, we want to make sure that the Manny and Pie Calayan brand of care is provided to every patient,” he stresses.
Dr. Manny affirms the importance of relationship building and gaining the trust of every patient. “Our patients come to us hoping to find a better option, improve their life…and I do empathize whatever are their reasons. We are here to help them step by step in their personal journey.”
In keeping with this personal commitment, the power couple, also widely renowned as “celebrity doctors to the stars,” continue to maintain the trust and confidence of their growing multi-generational clientele.
After the Cebu launch, the couple are looking forward to expanding further south when they inaugurate their branch at SM Lanang in Davao City in November.
