Modern-day first lady

The road to Jessy Mendiola being the first lady of the House of Manzano is not a walk in the park. Her stature as “modern-day first lady” stems from the fact that she is married to Luis Philippe Manzano, the first son of Star for All Seasons, movie and former public servant Vilma Santos and esteemed character actor and host Edu Manzano.    

Mendiola, of course, is one of the brightest leading ladies in ABSCBN. Thus, prior to their marital union, the many ups and downs of their romance had its lion’s share of scrutiny, peppered with pesky rumors plus the onslaught of bashers who wanted the demise of the relationship.    

During Mendiola’s contract signing as the latest brand ambassador of Cathy Valencia Advanced Skin Clinic, it is obvious how her marriage made the new Mrs. Manzano bloom and blossom. The twinkle in her eyes are apparent. The smiles are congenial and sincere. The tone of her face, confident. The reveals, exciting.

She admits that two years into their relationship, she knew already that Luis was the one.

“He is a good man. He is caring, giving, loving, and honest. Ang dami niyang naituro sa akin, I have changed so much emotionally because of him. Alam kong he is husband material,” she started.

“To be honest, I am not the type of woman who dates for the sake of dating. When I go out with a guy, a part of me feels, kung pwedeng ito ang future husband ko. Yes, I date with the hope to marry this man,” she carried on.  

Mendiola admitted that the age difference between her and her husband was never an issue.

“Our age gap is around 11 years. Off camera, makulit pa rin siya pero mas marami ang times that he is serious. Some people expect him to be always delivering the punchline or the joke, but in reality, there is gentleness and seriousness about him that makes me feel secure, protected and so loved,” she stated. 

“The kilig is for real every time I wake in the morning and he is the first face that I see. He has this habit na dapat yung mga paa namin laging magkadikit,” she added revealing bits and pieces about the television host.
