No one can contest that Johnny Manahan — known as Mr. M in the entertainment industry — is one of the most formidable star makers in the Philippines. Thanks to his trained eye and now legendary 'x factor detector,' Manahan has transformed then-unknown talents to superstars such as Piolo Pascual, Bea Alonzo, John Lloyd Cruz, Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo. And so, in his new chapter heading GMA Network's talent management group, any artist who gets Manahan's stamp of approval had every reason to celebrate.

Recently, not one or two but 17 fresh faces got this coveted feat. They are called Sparkada and they are eager to prove that once again, Mr. M has chosen this generation's biggest stars.
