Luis Manzano Reportedly Rushed to the Hospital in Critical Condition — Vilma Santos Seen Visibly Shaken

Manila, Philippines — Filipino television host and actor Luis Manzano was reportedly brought to a hospital in critical condition late last night, according to sources close to the family. While official details have not yet been released, early reports suggest that the situation was serious enough to prompt immediate medical attention.

His mother, veteran actress and former Batangas Governor Vilma Santos, was seen arriving at the medical facility early this morning, appearing visibly emotional and distressed. Onlookers shared that she was in tears as she entered the hospital accompanied by close family and security personnel.

What We Know So Far

As of this writing, no official medical bulletin has been released by the hospital or Luis Manzano’s representatives. However, a source from within the family circle, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that Luis was admitted due to a “sudden medical emergency.”

“It was unexpected. He was with loved ones when it happened. The family is asking for privacy and prayers,” the source shared.

Jessy Mendiola by His Side

Luis’ wife, actress Jessy Mendiola, is reportedly with him in the hospital and has not made any public statements. The actress recently posted a cryptic message on her Instagram stories—a black screen with a folded hands emoji—that has further fueled concern among fans and followers.

Friends and colleagues from the entertainment industry have begun expressing their support and well-wishes for the beloved TV host through social media. #PrayForLuis quickly began trending on X (formerly Twitter) this afternoon.

Vilma Santos: A Mother’s Silent Strength

Several witnesses at the hospital described seeing Vilma Santos arrive “shaken and silent.” The award-winning actress and longtime public servant has always maintained a strong public image, but many noted that this time was different.

“We’ve never seen Ate Vi like that—she looked devastated. She didn’t speak to media and went straight inside,” one hospital staff member shared.
