Luis Manzano still mum on failed relationship with Angel Locsin

TV host and Social coMedian Luis Manzano is still mum  on questions about ex-girlfriend Angel Locsin and their failed relationship.

In an interview with entertainment website PEP.ph, Luis refused to confirm whether he indeed unfollowed Locsin on Twitter after they supposedly broke up.

“Anything to do with Angel, tahimik na lang ako. Mas tama na lang 'yun for both parties. Tahimik na lang ako sa lahat ng bagay,” he said.

Manzano said it’s hard to comment about their relationship because there will always be people who will misinterpret whatever he says.

“Ang showbiz kasi, ang bawat sagot namin ay seed. Seed 'yan na bubunga ng kung anu-anong bagay kahit gusto mo o hindi. Kahit napakaganda ng intention mo sa sagot mo, makakahanap at makakahanap ng mali ang taong naghahanap ng mali,” he said.

But according to our own research, the actor indeed unfollowed Locsin on Twitter. In a website that answers if one user is following another on Twitter, @luckymanzano is no longer following @143redangel but the latter is following the former.

In January, Locsin and Manzano admitted having problems with their relationship. At that time, the two maintained that they are working on a solution.

However, Locsin seemed to have confirmed her split with Manzano through an Instagram post in February where she referred to him as her “ex.”
