Manila, Philippines — A scene of intense emotion and sadness enveloped the funeral of Luis Manzano’s beloved, when President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. suddenly arrived to personally convey his condolences to the family.
Those present did not expect the President’s presence. But the scene became even more emotional when BBM himself burst into tears as he hugged Edu Manzano and Luis—a clear sign of their deep connection not only as public figures, but as friends and family on a more personal level.
“This pain is for a father… for a son… Luis, Edu, my prayers are with you,” BBM reportedly whispered while holding Luis Manzano’s hand.
💔 A Deep Bond
According to several people close to the family, President Marcos Jr. and the Manzano family have had a long-standing relationship—especially with Edu, with whom he was both a part of the public service and showbiz industries. The President’s actions did not surprise some, but his genuine compassion and emotion touched the hearts of all who witnessed it.
