The show will test the will and imagination of I CANdidates , including actress and jiu jitsu enthusiast Cristine Reyes , actress and in-demand cover girl Arci Muñoz , singer-actress Sue Ramirez , and host-comedienne Pokwang , as they perform unique talents that could be hilarious , nerve-wracking , or simply extraordinary .
Also not backing down from any challenge are theater actor and TV heartthrob JC Santos , dancer-performer Gab Valenciano , comedian Wacky Kiray , and model-actor and footballer Daniel Matsunaga .
The Philippine version of “ I Can Do That ” will be hosted by Robi Domingo and Alex Gonzaga .

8 celebrity I CANdidates show their grit in I Can Do That starting March 11

different groups of professional performers demonstrate a variety of acts that I CANdidates have never done before .
If the I CANdidates think they can do a certain act , they will make their way down the stairs towards the performers . The first to reach the fourth and last step will be locked in to perform the act and will get to choose the I CANdidate who he or she believes will help him or her give a winning performance .
Given only one week to practice , the I CANdidates should be able to perform their assigned act and entertain the audience .
The weekly winner will be determined based on the combined scores culled from the scores given individually by the iCANdidates and the extra points granted to the winner of the audience vote .
So far , the rehearsals have immensely challenged the I CANdidates physically and emotionally . In fact , Daniel got hit by the props he was required to use for an act .

Luck smiles on Maymay
