Edo Manzano Apprehended, Surrenders and Confesses to Orchestrating the Heinous Act Against His Son Luis Manzano

In recent days, fans and loved ones of TV host and actor Luis Manzano have been mourning and devastated by his sudden and tragic passing.

According to an investigation by the QCPD, they are still in the process of examining Luis’s body and residence. Initial findings reportedly indicate the presence of fingerprints and footprints, suggesting a possible break-in and foul play against the actor.

One key person under investigation is his father, Edo Manzano, who was the last known person to have been with Luis at his home. This has led authorities to strongly suspect his involvement. Meanwhile, netizens have noticed Edo’s sudden weight loss and nervous demeanor during interviews, suggesting he may be hiding something regarding Luis’s unexpected death.

Adding to the suspicion, CCTV footage reportedly captured Edo slowly opening the gate around 10 p.m., seemingly letting someone in — a moment believed to precede the tragic incident. Luis Manzano, also known by his real name Luis Philip Santos Manzano, passed away at 44. He leaves behind his wife, Jessy Mendiola, and their young child, now tragically fatherless.

Reports say that Luis was found unconscious and pale on the floor just a week ago, believed to have succumbed to a long-standing illness that may have taken a sudden turn. However, Edo Manzano has remained publicly silent, which some speculate is due to guilt — choosing to withdraw from the spotlight to avoid further damaging the Manzano family’s name.

The Santos family has yet to release details about Luis’s funeral arrangements, as they are still awaiting the arrival of relatives from abroad and close friends from the showbiz industry to join them in mourning and saying goodbye.

In a shocking twist, Edo Manzano stunned the public when he formally surrendered himself to the NBI, admitting he could no longer bear the weight of his conscience over what had happened — what he himself had done to his own defenseless son.

In an emotional interview, Edo said:

“First of all, I am human, and I ask for forgiveness from the Santos family, from those who loved Luis, and from his supporters. Yes, I admit I am guilty. I set up my own son, Luis, because I needed money. That was the only way I could think of to get what I wanted. I’m old and have no more income, so that thought entered my mind.

But this time, I will admit the truth. I accepted an offer from a wealthy politician. I knew it was wrong, but I turned a blind eye. I made the worst decision of my life — targeting my own son. I was blinded by money, seeking revenge and selfish gain. Now, I am ready to surrender myself so that this can all come to an end. My only wish is that I be given a chance to change.”
