Luis Manzano: Newest Addition To The Pinoy Big Brother Family
|
“I Love You, Lucky” - these words were often used by his mother, Vilma Santos, to end her musical-variety show which aired every Friday night on GMA7. And this made the, then little kid, Luis Phillip “Lucky” Manzano a household name in the Philippines. However, the entry of Luis Manzano into Philippine showbiz would come years later. He first entered showbiz in 2002 by being an image model for the Bench sister brand, “Human”. Afterwhich, the nation was caught in a Luis Manzano-frenzy - they couldn’t get enough of the kid who was a product of the union of showbiz royalties Vilma Santos and Edu Manzano. Cosmopolitan magazine immediately featured the hunky Luis as one of its centerfolds for its Cosmopolitan’s Most Eligible Bachelors Issue. ABS-CBN, too, struck while the iron was hot and signed the young star in to be one of the VJ’s for its relaunched music channel, “MYX”. Several other offers started pouring in from the Kapamilya network soon thereafter. In 2004, he became one of the hosts of ABS-CBN shows like ASAP, Star Circle Quest and Qpids. In 2005, he ventured into acting via the sitcom, “Bora: Sons of the Beach” and the fantaserye “Kampanerang Kuba”. Furthering his acting career, also tried doing light dramas and suspense in episodes of “Komiks”, “Your Song”, “Maalaala Mo Kaya”. His first movie, the trilogy entitled “All About Love”, came in 2006 where he starred opposite Anne Curtis. He and Anne shared the screen with other loveteams, Jason Abalos-Angelica Panganiban and John Lloy Cruz-Bea Alonzo. The movie proved that Luis could be a bankable comedic actor and so he was cast in the short-lived teleserye “Crazy For You” which was shot in Barcelona, Spain where he was paired with the ultra-witty Toni Gonzaga. He then reprised his hosting role in Star Circle Summer Kid Quest and did a short stint with his father Edu in a talk show entitled “Tonight With The Manzanos”. He did forgettable roles in some episodes of “Your Song” and in the fantaserye “Rounin”, which made him decide to concentrate in hosting and in doing comedy. In 2007, he was cast in the box-office comedy hit “Ang Cute Ng Ina Mo”, with Ai Ai de las Alas, Anne Curtis, Eugene Domingo and John Lapus. Currently, Luis is one of the hosts of the saturday afternoon showbiz talkshow, Entertainment Live, where he shares the stage with the triumvirate of beauties Toni Gonzaga, Bianca Gonzales and Mariel Rodriguez. Last Sunday, he was ushered in as one the “pluses” as he becomes one of the hosts of Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus. |

Good looks, good height and an Adonis build; few of the reasons why girls and gays go gaga over Luis. However, in my language ( hiligaynon ) Luis is called “pitla”, which means he sounds like his tongue glued on his lower mouth creating a short sound to every vowels and consonants. Maybe his tongue is too short. He pronounces the word as though he is gurgling water while speaking. His father sounds the same. Well, you cant expect Mango to bear an apple! In the end, Luis is just one good looks; nothing more. Acting? He has to learn more from his mother but like his mother, he is not cut out for it. Comic? Nahhhh, he looks like a mountain boulder too chiseled trying to be funny by rolling through the declivities of an ocean (if there was one declivity in a ocean). Model? Yes, statuette I would say. He would be better off standing as a mannequin on a display romp of a boutique and believe me he would do better there because when he opens his mouth, you would wonder why God was merciless.

Luis Manzano, save for the good physical endownment, he is a joke elevated to an art form. Surprisingly, he likes it! Maybe he was concieved out of moronity when her mother was on the verge of getting nuts that she found consolation in a whiplash of fate which buried her deeper to a sex goddess tombstone languishing in the nirvana of Romeo Vasquez sexual prowess. Oppppppppps! Sorry, he is just too perfect to be gay!

hey people, stop bickering as if you’ve known Luis.
dont judge him by the way he speak. Luis is one good guy. He’s funny but he’s not gay.
Inggit lang kayo at hindi nyo siya matitikman.
mga bitter herbs kayo.
