JAY MANALO plays one of his meanest roles as the villainous Lucio in GMA’7’s “Nino” that will end this week. He was the one who killed Tom Rodriguez as the husband of Katrina Halili and the reason why Miguel Tanfelix as Nino was separated from his real mom and raised by foster parents Angelu de Leon and Neil Ryan Sese.
“Nakakalungkot lang kasi matatapos na kami,” says Jay. “Enjoy pa naman ako sa lahat ng mga kasama ko rito, pati sa director naming si Maryo de los Reyes. Bale comeback project ko ito sa GMA after I stayed with TV5 exclusively for three years. Ngayon free lancer na uli ako. Sana masundan agad ito ng bagong project.”
So what will happen to him as Lucio? Will he be punished and killed for all his misdeeds in the story? “Yun ang abangan ninyo. Siempre, hindi ko puedeng i-reveal dahil spoiler naman yun. Basta itong final week namin, punong-puno ng maraming rebelasyon kaya huwag kayong bibitaw.”
