Luis Manzano loses endorsements after filing to run as Batangas vice governor
MANILA, Philippines — Kapamilya actor Luis Manzano revealed that he lost four endorsements after he decided to run as Batangas vice governor.
In an interview with the media during the Barako Fest 2025 in Lipa recently, Luis said that he understands those brands because there are contracts that limit him for joining politics.
“To be honest, lahat naman tayo matatanda na sa industriyang ito, sa katunayan marami sa mga endorsements ko ang hindi na nag-renew. Agad-agad nu’ng naisipan namin na mag-file (Certificate of Candidacy), isa 'yun sa sinabi ni Gov. Vi, one time 'yun, kumakain kami that time," Luis said.
“Sabi ni Gov. Vi, ‘Anak, alam na alam ko ang industriyang ito (kapag pumasok ka sa politika), sa maniwala ka o sa hindi, kahit ang endorsements mo mawawala.' Sa katunayan, tatlo o apat na endorsements ko ang nag-pull out na,” he added.
Luis admitted that there's an advantage and a disadvantage in joining politics.
“Sabi ko, naiintindihan ko naman 'yun, pero 'yung income ko, tatamaan talaga. Sabi nga ni Gov. Vi, which is ramdam ko sa start pa lang, sabi niya, ‘Anak, mabawasan ka man ng commercial, ng endorsements, e, masarap naman ang tulog mo dahil marami ka namang natutulungan na tao'."
