<p>Kapamilya star Luis Manzano said that he prefers doing hosting projects more than taking on acting roles.</p><p>In an interview after his official renewal of contract with ABS-CBN, the television personality candidly revealed that he sees himself as a more competent host than an actor.</p><p>“At this point, honestly, hindi ko na maisip na balikan ang pag-arte. I’m a much more competent host than I am as an actor. Happy na ako sa naiwan ko before sa In My Life, noong kasama ko si Lloydie (John Lloyd Cruz), kasama si Momski (Vilma Santos) and of course, lahat ng mga proyekto namin ni Direk Wenn (Deramas). Pero sige doon na ako sa mas mabibigay ko kung anong kaya kong gawin which is hosting,” he said.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C86qArkS6JN/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=506&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A1314535.300000012%2C%22ls%22%3A1314392.7000000179%2C%22le%22%3A1314397.2000000179%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="567" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Luis then clarified that he is not closing his doors on acting projects but will choose lighter shows such as doing sitcoms.</p><p>“Sitcom pwede. I could do… Siguro sitcoms would be more viable,” he said.</p><p>Luis then recalled his previous Kapamilya sitcom, Home Sweetie Home with Vhong Navarro, Toni Gonzaga, Alex Gonzaga, and Bayani Agbayani.</p><p>“Namimiss ko kasi. Noong ginagawa ko yung <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/homesweetiehome"><em><strong>Home Sweetie Home</strong></em></a>… para sa akin ayun na yung pahinga ko noong nagsi-sitcom kami. I was juggling three or four shows ata. Pagod na pagod ako pero super excited ako na pumasok sa sitcom dahil para sa akin ayon yung pahinga,” he expressed.</p><p>He went on: “If I will be able to do it with my Mom, masaya iyon. Tatanggapin ko iyon.”</p><p>Luis also revealed he was supposed to do a sitcom offered to him and his mother, seasoned actress Vilma Santos. However, the show did not push through.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C88jNCvSalg/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=506&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A1314544.1000000238%2C%22ls%22%3A1314392.7000000179%2C%22le%22%3A1314397.2000000179%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="510" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Meanwhile, Luis also answered if there would still be a possibility that his previous show,<em> It’s Your Lucky Day</em>, would finally be aired as a Kapamilya show.</p><p>“Unang-una, thank you na maraming nag-aabang sa <em>It’s Your Lucky Da</em>y at kung maraming nag-aabang sa It’s Your Lucky Day, isa rin naman kami sa mga nagg-aabang sa  It’s Your Lucky Day pero lahat ng iyan may perfect timing,” he answered.</p><p>He went on: “Noong nangyari yung sa It’s Showtime, hindi naman namin inakala na maraming ang magiging following yung It’s Your Lucky Day. Sabi ko nga kanina, iyong mga ganoong senyales, it means you did something right. So, pagka-tama yung oras (timing) para sa It’s Your Lucky Day… o hindi kaya iyong time na ibalik yung show, I’m sure gagawin iyon ng ABS-CBN.”</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/10/13/-it-s-your-lucky-day-to-temporarily-replace-it-s-showtime-1127"><strong>READ: ‘It’s Your Lucky Day’ to temporarily replace ‘It&#x27;s Showtime’</strong></a></div><p>Luis is currently preparing for a new Kapamilya game show that will be airing this July.</p><p>“I’m really excited because, for the longest time, I’ve been hosting franchises. Kaya nga noong nag-<em>’It’s Your Lucky Day’</em> tayo before, sobra akong excited because original sa atin,” Luis told <a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com"><strong>PUSH</strong></a>.</p><p>He continued: “Ito ngayong ‘<em>Rainbow Rumble’</em>, isang pagsabak na original game shows na talagang sa atin talaga plus yung format. Maraming nakamiss ng  ‘<em>Game Ka Na Ba?’</em>, maraming naka-miss ng <em>‘Pot Luck’</em> ng ‘<em>It’s Your Lucky Day’</em> so yung ‘<em>Rainbow Rumble’</em> mayroon tayong ganoong klaseng game show para sa kanila.”</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/7/3/tingnan-luis-manzano-mananatiling-kapamilya-1600"><strong>READ: Luis Manzano, mananatiling Kapamilya</strong></a></div><p>As per Luis, the show will test the knowledge and luck of contestants.</p><p>“Ito mas trivia tayo. Dahil nakita natin na sobrang ganda ng feedback ng ‘<em>Pot Luck’</em> segment ng <em>‘It’s Your Lucky Day&#x27;</em> na grabe iyong tawa ng mga tao, whether it be sa tamang sagot or mali ng sagot. Na-miss natin yung <em>‘Game Ka Na Ba?’, ‘Battle of the Brains’</em>, so ibabalik natin iyan,” he explained.</p><p>“For ‘<em>Rainbow Rumble’,</em> there’s a component ng talino ng book smart, may street smart and there’s a game of chance and luck also,” he added.</p>
