[FACT-CHECKED REPORT] Luis Manzano Breaks Silence on Death Hoax: Legal Action on the Table for Fake News Peddlers
Manila, Philippines — Television host and actor Luis Manzano is setting the record straight after becoming the subject of a viral death hoax that recently made rounds on social media and YouTube. The false rumor, which falsely claimed that Manzano had passed away, sparked confusion and concern among fans — prompting the actor to respond directly and firmly.
✅ Luis Manzano: “I’m alive and well!”
In a social media post shared via Instagram Stories and X (formerly Twitter), Manzano reassured fans:
“Guys, I’m very much alive. Don’t believe everything you see online.”
He followed this with a touch of humor, saying,
“Nagulat pa ako, ako daw ay wala na. Aba, buhay na buhay tayo!”
Despite his light-hearted approach, Luis made it clear that he is not taking the situation lightly, especially considering how rapidly misinformation can spread.
⚖️ Legal Action: Manzano Considering Charges Against Fake News Sources
Sources close to the actor confirmed that Luis Manzano is now consulting with legal counsel to explore potential charges against the originators of the false reports. According to insiders, he aims to hold accountable those who spread malicious and damaging content, especially content that involves life-and-death misinformation.
“This isn’t just about me. These kinds of hoaxes can be traumatic for families and misleading to the public. It’s time we put a stop to it,” Manzano reportedly said.
🧠 Where Did the Rumor Come From?
The death hoax appeared to have started on several unverified YouTube channels that regularly post sensational and often misleading content involving celebrities. Thumbnails often include dramatic images, crying emojis, or edited photos of celebrities in hospital beds — all without any basis in fact.
These videos tend to rake in views through clickbait tactics, with titles such as:
🔴 “Rest in Peace Luis Manzano | Confirmed by Vilma Santos”
🔥 “Vilma Santos nawalan ng malay dahil sa pagkawala ni Luis!”
None of these channels cite credible sources, and most splice together unrelated clips and music to give the appearance of legitimacy.
📢 Public Reminder: Stop Spreading Hoaxes
The rise of celebrity death hoaxes has plagued social media in recent years. While some may see them as harmless or attention-grabbing, they can cause distress to families, fans, and even disrupt careers.
Luis Manzano’s response serves as a reminder that even public figures deserve dignity and truth, and that legal measures are increasingly being considered in the face of digital harassment and misinformation.
