Luis renews contract, hosts newest ABS-CBN game show

CEBU, Philippines — Luis Manzano remains a Forever Kapamilya as he renewed his contract with ABS-CBN last Tuesday (July 2) and is set to host ABS-CBN’s newest and most colorful game show, “Rainbow Rumble.”

“Para sa akin kaya sobrang importante na mga maging forever Kapamilya’ is nararamdaman mo na nandiyan kayo para sa isa’t isa. And the word is already there – Kapamilya,” he said.

“I would like to think that at the very challenging times of ABS-CBN, I was there. At the same time, noong ako ay dumaan sa napaka-challenging points ng  buhay ko, hindi bumitaw o hindi nawala ang tiwala sa akin ng ABS-CBN. And that is why I’m proud to say that I am forever a Kapamilya,” he added.

Luis expressed his gratitude to the bosses for their unwavering trust in him throughout his over two decades in the showbiz industry.

“Basta sabihin Luis may bagong kang gagawin, it shows yung tiwala. Napakalaking bagay na kahit per project lang na nandoon yung tiwala ng ABS-CBN,” he said.

Luis shared that viewers should watch out for “Rainbow Rumble,” which he described as the game show viewers miss and that will attract franchisers to acquire.

“We have been waiting for a show na pwede natin ibenta abroad so naniniwala ako na ito yung show na yun. It is one of the shows na kapag sinimulan natin ito bubuhos ang tawag para mag-inquire kung paano mag-franchise ng show.”

He added, “Ang ‘Minute To Win It’ ay skill-based game, ang ‘I Can See Your Voice’ ay singing contest, ito mas trivia tayo. Sobrang ganda ng feedback ng ‘Pot Luck’ ng ‘It’s Your Lucky Day’ na grabe yung tuwa ng tao whether it could be sa tama o sa maling sagot. So for ‘Rainbow Rumble’ there’s a component na talino, booksmart, may streetsmart, may game of chance and luck also.”

Joining him at the contract signing were ABS-CBN chairman Mark Lopez, ABS-CBN president and CEO Carlo Katigbak, ABS-CBN COO Cory Vidanes, ABS-CBN head of TV Production and Star Magic head Laurenti Dyogi, CFO Rick Tan Jr. and his manager, Jun Rufino.
