Jessy Mendiola regards her husband Luis Manzano’s candidacy as God’s plan, saying she’s proud of him for helping in making a change.
The actress penned an open letter to the TV host, declaring her support as he runs for Batangas vice governor in the 2025 midterm elections, as per her Instagram page on Thursday, Oct. 3.
“This wasn’t part of our plan but God had other plans for us,” she began.
“Isa ka sa pinaka-masipag, maalaga at mapagbigay na tao na kilala ko,” she continued. “Kahit noon pa man, palagi mong iniisip kapakanan ng ibang tao.”
Mendiola noted that she and Manzano’s co-workers can attest to his generosity and eagerness to help without anything in return. “Ang puso mo ay napaka-linis at yun ang isa sa rason kung bakit kita minamahal.”
