Dr Calanog is known by many affectionate but decidedly unprintable names to Christine, his wife of sixteen years.
His most treasured title is, however, “Dada” to his two daughters Samantha (seven years old) and Madison (five
years old), each very much capable of wrapping their father around their little fingers.
