The kapamilya actor and host Luis Manzano revealed that he was offered to be part of the upcoming movie of his girlfriend Angel Locsin with her mother, veteran actress Vilma Santos. However, he chose to turn down the role.
In an interview with ABS-CBN News, the former “Minute to Win It” host said he has personal reasons why he turned down the offer, which he does not want to talk about in the public.
“I was supposed to be but I decided to decline due to personal reasons. Dapat kasama ako pero sabi ko, hayaan na natin ang girlfriend ko at mommy ko. Time nila ‘yun,” he said.
Meanwhile, Angel Locsin expressed her excitement to start shooting for the film. She also said that it was her dream to work with Batangas Governor even before she and Luis Manzano reconciled.
“Kahit hindi pa kami okay ni Luis, sobrang dream ko talaga makatrabaho si Tita Vilma. Hihintayin ko talaga ito. Looking forward ako kasi it’s another Star Cinema project so another quality project na naman,” she said.
The production has yet to give further details about the movie, including the target release date. However, Luis Manzano hinted in his past interviews that the box-office director, Oliva Lamasan might direct the big screen project.
Angel Locsin was last seen in the hit and now defunct series “The Legal Wife,” while Vilma Santos’s last project was the independent film “Ekstra.”
