Luis Manzano Fuming with Anger at His Father, Edu

In a controversy shaking the world of showbiz, it’s been said that Edu Manzano now regrets his actions and words directed at his daughter-in-law, Jessy Mendiola. Meanwhile, Vilma Santos is reportedly furious over this alleged mistreatment, and Luis Manzano is deeply affected.

It seems Luis has no choice but to endure the pain of a situation that’s slowly tearing his family apart. Amid the silence, a voice emerged—a voice of regret. According to someone close to Edu Manzano, the veteran actor has long been carrying the weight of guilt over how he treated Jessy Mendiola. In the past, he reportedly never fully accepted the actress, and behind the camera, he made her feel time and again that her presence in his son’s life wasn’t enough.

When Luis and Jessy were newly married, Edu was said to have greeted their union with a cold reception. He allegedly didn’t show the kind of support and care that a new daughter-in-law would hope for. According to sources, Jessy remained quiet throughout. She didn’t complain, didn’t lash out—but you could feel her pain.

She repeatedly tried to reach out to Edu, but it was like there was always a wall between them. As time passed, Jessy tried to remain strong. She humbled herself, tried to understand the silence. But with each act of self-restraint, it seemed she, too, was slowly breaking apart. It even reached a point where Jessy began to avoid family gatherings where Edu would be present—not out of pride, but to protect her own feelings and preserve her husband’s peace of mind.

Luis witnessed it all. In every moment Jessy stayed silent, he was the bridge. In every misunderstanding, he stood in between. But while he tried to be strong for the two people he loved most, Luis himself was slowly falling apart.

Vilma Santos could no longer hold back her emotions. According to a friend of the actress, she confronted Edu with her frustrations—something she rarely does in public.
“You shouldn’t have treated Jessy like that. She’s a kind wife, a good mother. She didn’t deserve your cold treatment,” Vilma reportedly said—words filled with anger, pain, and defense. Three emotions that engulfed Luis’s mother all at once.

The source added, “Even if you and Luis had past disagreements as parents, Jessy should not have been dragged into it. She’s not the enemy. She’s family now.”

And now that both his father and mother have spoken out, Luis is choosing silence.

According to someone close to the TV host, he no longer wants to speak. “So much has already been said by others. He just wants peace now—for his wife and their child.” But even in silence, the exhaustion can be seen in his eyes—not just from work, but from the emotional weight of a family torn apart.

In a family used to the spotlight, the glare now seems painful. Will they continue to choose silence, or are they finally ready to face the truth and begin healing the wounds they’ve long tried to ignore?

Stay tuned for our next update on whether reconciliation is still possible for the Manzanos amid this deepening rift.
