Whether on- or off-screen, Luis Manzano is a master of quick-witted and hilarious antics. But there is more to this talented TV personality than most people know.
In the showbiz realm, Luis has carved a name for himself and established a career as a top-rating TV game show host and versatile actor. On my social media pages, napakaraming nag-co-comment sakin na ‘Hello Luis, OFW ako. These small things create a big picture in my life,” Luis said.
Career journey
Being a son of showbiz royalties, Luis is no stranger to the entertainment industry. Notably, he played the role of a gay son who had to deal with an overbearing mother (played by his own mother) in 2009’s In My Life.
While it’s easy to assume that it was an easy journey for Luis, it was the other way around. Reminiscing his favorite moments with Myx and the opportunities that opened up after, Luis exclaimed, “NAKS talaga yun! Ang daming NAKS moments in my career including the game shows that I hosted.”
For Luis, connecting and interacting with people through hosting is more than a job. It’s priceless, he said.
After more than a decade in the industry,–Luis continues to strive for success. But it’s more than worth it.”

Successful entrepreneur
Luis is also a savvy entrepreneur who has been running his own transportation line for over a decade now, and more recently, he has started a new scent company.
“With my first few businesses, I wanted to play on a need,” he shared. Everyone needs to get from point A to point B.”
Despite his busy schedule, Luis manages and be on top of his business. ‘Yung something as simple na, ‘Boss Luis, your driver is very courteous and respectful, hinintay niya kami and didn’t give us any problems…’ I forward these messages to the office. Lahat ng ‘yan tinututukan ko.”
Living his best digital life
It recently launched Luis as a brand ambassador for PLDT Home WiFi, a home internet device that can load with family-sized prepaid data packs.
It’s a role that reflects his own digitally active lifestyle. I take care of a lot of things and being online helps me in my daily tasks.”
He adds, “I always have to be online. Para sa akin, nothing beats a great, stable and fast connection.”
When he’s not taking care of business, he’s likely playing his favorite console game or geeking out online. I’m a proud nerd,” he quipped.
For Luis, being able to share internet connectivity is crucial to nurturing relationships in this digital age. He added, “It’s as simple as when you step out when you converse when you talk to your family and you go, ‘O, have you seen this?’ or ‘O, napanood ko rin yan!’ It’s sharing the impact of the actual ‘connection.’”
Educational empowerment
As an advocate of life-long learning, Luis also sees the value of home internet in empowering school-age children. Nothing beats convenience and access to information coupled with proper parental guidance.
In this age of kids where almost everyone has access to online information, it is crucial to keep up and gain that competitive edge so they can stand out.
Imagine, now you can have online research and group meetings for projects. Keep learning every chance you get.
“I am happy that PLDT Home makes the Internet more accessible to Filipino homes through their prepaid offering. Let’s make the world a better place by encouraging more Filipinos to stay connected and digitally inform,” Luis concluded. The best way to get started is by having a reliable internet connection at home.”
Naks, daming data!
In its latest TVC, PLDT Home WiFi features the importance of Internet connection especially for families with schoolchildren by highlighting the expression, “Naks, Daming alam! Luis shares, It’s one of the biggest compliments. That’s because I read and have access to a reliable internet connection to research and learn more about the world.”
There is so much to learn online and just like Luis, families can enjoy the perks of easy access to high-speed and reliable internet from PLDT Home WiFi, powered by the country’s fastest LTE from Smart.
