Edu Manzano now stars in FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano in the Kapamilya network. In an interview with PEP.ph, Edu compared the strong points between ABS-CBN Corporation and GMA Network. He revealed that he didn’t want to feel tied down in one genre. Celebrity Bluff became his last project in the Kapuso network.
In the said interview, Edu confessed that he hosted Celebrity Bluff for a long time and expressed that as an actor, he would want to experience all genres.
“Ang haba-haba ko na sa Celebrity Bluff. Tsaka maganda rin yung hindi ka natatali sa isang genre. So, maganda rin yung masubukan mo rin lahat.”
Edu elaborated that every network has its own strengths. He noted that GMA Network remains strong when it comes to fantasy series and ABS-CBN remains strong when it comes to drama. Edu emphasized that as an actor, he would want to try everything. He felt lucky that he had a chance to experience every genre.
“Hindi naman sila kuwan, e… ang kanya-kanyang network, may kanya-kanyang lakas, e. Ang sinasabi nga, ang strong points sa Kapuso, nakita mo yung fantasy, marami silang ganung klaseng tema. Sa ABS-CBN naman, andun naman yung drama kung saan sila nakilala. So, kung ikaw ay isang artista, gugustuhin mo talaga na masubukan mo lahat. Minsan action, drama, comedy… Ako, suwerte lang ako, e, nasubukan ko lahat, pati game show.”
Edu explained that he had an option to renew his contract in GMA Network. However, he had already received an offer from the Kapamilya crime-drama series, FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano.
“Nagtapos na yung kontrata… Pero there’s an option to renew. Pero dumating din yung offer… actually, matagal-tagal na rin yung offer sa Ang Probinsyano sa akin.”
