Former Batangas Governor and Veteran actress Vilma Santos couldn’t stop hiding her emotion after talking about the controversy faced by her son Luis Manzano.
It can be recalled that Manzano was facing charges from several investors for being involved in an alleged fraud worth P100-M.
According to the complainants, they were convinced by Manzano to invest millions of pesos in Flex Fuel Corporation and even promising profits that the company later didn’t realize.
Flex Fuel also introduced the actor as their ‘CEO’ and even used the actor in their promotional material telling the potential investors to “do businesses with Mr. Luis Manzano.”
However, in an interview, Santos insisted that her son is a good person and will not be able to do something wrong to others.
“And the only thing I can say is I know my son. Ang anak ko ay tumutulong, hindi nanloloko. Kaya ‘yung mga nagsasalita at naghuhusga sa kanya, dahan-dahan lang kayo. Walang ibang nakakakilala sa anak ko kung hindi ako. And I know he is such a good person,” Santos said.
She also gave a message to her son, believing that the truth will prevail in the future.
“You will be fine, anak. Maraming nagmamahal sa iyo and the truth will prevail. Alam ng mga tao ‘yan. Tumutulong ka, anak, hindi ka nanloloko and I love you. I love you, Lucky.” she said.
As of writing, Manzano has yet to give a public comment about the accusations against him.
Meanwhile the complainant said that they would not be swayed by the public support for Manzano and still planning to pursue the charges.
