Luis Manzano recently hinted at the possibility of him joining politics.
He shared in recent Q & A with fans, “Nakikita ko — baka naman na sa horizon ‘yan — ang pagiging isang politiko.”
Well, it is in his blood, after all.
Both his parents are politicians.
His mother, actress Vilma Santos, is currently Lipa representative.
His dad, actor Edu Manzano, sat prior as Makati vice mayor.
Luis went on, “Naniniwala ako na lahat tayo meron tayong obligation o responsibility to serve. We have different capacities. Puwedeng from a simple act of service, or through public service talaga. Para sa akin, hindi ko sinasara ang pinto ko sa politika.”
“Ito ang pinaka magandang tanong — kung sakali ba na tumakbo ako, iboboto niyo ba ako? May tiwala ba kayo sa akin pag dating sa boto ninyo? Iyon ang pinaka magandang katanungan...”
Many of his fans approved of his plans, prompting him to say, “Maraming, maraming salamat sa kumpiyansa na ‘yun… Thank you so much na so far, maraming may tiwala naman sa akin pagdating sa public service."
He then added, “Tingnan natin kung tatakbo ako, tingnan natin kung ano’ng posisyon. Ang filing ng candidacy ay October, kung hindi ako nagkakamali. Puwedeng-puwede pang humabol, kung sakali man.”
