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.”
“Alam kong hindi ito parte ng plano natin pero andito ako para suportahan ka kahit ano pa man ang mangyari,” she underscored. “Isang malaking pagbabago ito sa buhay natin at alam kong mabuting pagbabago ito. Marami kaming nakasuporta sayo, Love.”
“I am extremely proud of you for choosing this path, the path to help make a change and extend help to others. You are made for this,” she told Manzano. “Mararanasan na ng iba ang alagang ‘LUCKY’ na ilang taon ko na rin nararanasan.”
Manzano, in response, thanked Mendiola for her presence and support in his political journey via the comments section.
