Manuel “Jun” Salazar Urbano Jr.[1] (8 June 1939 – 2 December 2023) was a Filipino actor, comedian and director who was best known for his role as Mr. Shooli, a self-styled Mongolian character who specialized in political satire and commentaries on Philippine popular culture.

[6] At the same time, he worked with comedians such as Bert Marcelo, the cast of Bad Bananas, Subas Herrero, Noel Trinidad, and Rico J.

[2] This in turn spawned the popular weekly 1980s show Mongolian Barbecue initially broadcast on IBC-13,[12] which won three consecutive Catholic Mass Media Awards[11] and underwent a revival by Golden Nation Network in 2014.

[14] In an interview, Urbano denied that his character was derived from Genghis Khan, which was incidentally the subject of an eponymous 1950 biopic directed by his father, and said that he created Mr. Shooli based on his imitations of Chinese accents by his friends in school[7] and decided to officially describe his character as Mongolian to avoid offending the Chinese Filipino community and after finding that Mongolia had no embassy in the Philippines.

He also appeared as Mr. Shooli at his acceptance of the Gawad Plaridel award from the University of the Philippines, which recognized his character's social commentary and Urbano's work in multimedia commercial advertising, in 2023.

[7][8] He had previously undergone a quintuple heart bypass in 2012 and diagnosed in 2016 with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease but continued his entertainment career.
