Kapamilya star Jessy Mendiola threw her “Hawhaw” Luis Manzano a surprise birthday bash last April 21, inviting his close friends and his favorite band in a reggae-themed party.
“Minute to Win It” host Luis Manzano was met by a crowd singing “Happy Birthday” when he got off an elevator during his 38th birthday party. This moment was captured in a video uploaded by Mendiola on her YouTube channel yesterday, April 24.
“Grabe sobrang stressed ako and kinakabahan kasi sobrang bilis niyang makakutob ng surprise, pero this time feeling ko mag-wwork ito,” the “Maria Mercedes” actress admitted before the surprise.
(I am very stressed and nervous because [Luis] picks up on surprises quickly, but this time, I have a feeling this will work out.)
