Maricar Reyes is a commercial model-turned-TV actress, she played “Candy” in ABS-CBN’s series “I love Betty La Fea” as Armando’s (John Lloyd) first love. Maricar is a familiar face in television as she is the ethereal Ponds endorser. Maricar is not only a beautiful face, she is also brainy. She is a practicing Doctor and when not on television, She is attending to her regular day job as an ‘anti-aging doctor’.

After doing a VTR for a fastfood company commercial, Johnny Manahan of Star Magic (a talent management handling ABS-CBN stars) saw and took keen notice of her. Prior to that, she appeared once on “ASAP ’08” and “Wowoweee.” She didn’t receive any follow-up invitation from the Kapamilya network thereafter.

A self-confessed health nut, Maricar spends at least three times a week in the gym for weight training. This, according to her, is another department in her life that she really loves. As for diets, the former Ponds commercial model stays away from junk food, even as she admits she can’t wrap up a meal without a modest, not-so-fattening dessert.

Watching her play such an important role on TV, no one would ever think this 24-year-old Ateneo B.S. Biology graduate was idle for quite some time.

Even if she only has the Bea-John Lloyd-starrer for a regular show, this pretty talent is just as busy. With the localized international telenovela taping every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, she’s called to join in at least twice a week. And when she’s not needed in such scenes, Maricar attends to her regular day job as a medical practitioner.

“Actually, I’m still a general practitioner, since I just took the board exam last year,” she said, stopping short of divulging other details of her other profession.
