Vilma Santos is asking for prayers for her son, Luis Manzano, after he was hospitalized. Just a few days after the elections and his loss in the race for Vice Governor of Batangas, actor-host Luis Manzano is now the subject of concern following reports of his hospitalization.

Yesterday, news broke that Luis was rushed to the hospital by his wife, Jessy Mendiola. Many of his supporters were deeply worried and eager to know his true condition. Reports even surfaced suggesting that Luis’s condition might be serious and critical.

According to a source, it doesn’t appear to be a simple illness that led to Luis being urgently brought to the hospital. As a result, many people have been expressing their support and sympathy for what the actor-host is currently going through.

Meanwhile, today, Luis’s mother, Governor-elect Vilma Santos-Recto, spoke publicly for the first time. With emotion, Vilma revealed the real situation her son is facing. According to her, she is deeply hurt by what is happening to Luis. She said she never imagined that something like this would happen to her son and is now asking the public for prayers on his behalf.

“I’m really having a hard time right now with what’s happening to my son. I didn’t expect that he had been hiding an illness. It was triggered even more by his recent disappointment and loss in the elections. He took it very hard. He was deeply hurt by what happened. I couldn’t bear to leave him in such a condition, so I made sure to stay by his side during this time when he needs me most. I’m asking for your prayers for Luis, that he may endure all of this and that our family may overcome this challenge,” Vilma said.

She also expressed her gratitude to everyone who has supported her son from the very beginning, saying, “It means so much to him.” This was the emotional statement of Governor Vilma Santos.
