Skip the beat

THIS guy is a popular 24-year-old disc jockey who has spent his childhood and most of his life travelling places: Bohol, Makati, Taguig and Cateel.

Now he is in Davao City and radio listeners know him as one of the funniest DJs. Doods' parents describe him as nice, simple, morally upright and talented. Though he admits to being weird and a "pasaway" sometimes.

He regards himself as a broadcaster (if the name Johnny Bukol rings a bell, then you must know him) and a sales manager- a good one at that. You may mistake him for a call center agent and he looks like one because he once was a call center agent. He believes he is a fulfilled person after graduating college with a Mass Communications degree.

He is now pursuing a career in Hotel and Restaurant Management while working as a radio man. That is why he is an inspiration to aspiring disc jockeys who sometimes forget the value of education in exchange for fame.

There is something unique about this morning radio personality. Papa Doods is known for popularizing lines and has amused many with his now household phrase "Aning-aning" "bayota ka" on radio.

This Libran plays a few instruments, sings and is inclined to arts as he also draws and designs. He has a fondness for listening to love songs, RnB and ballad music and watching TV shows on HBO.

For all the lookers out there, this huggable papa wants to meet nice people with sense of humor, ladies who are simple, kissable, understanding and passionate.
