Luis Manzano Hosts Anew The New Season Of 'Kapamilya Deal Or No Deal' Which Has A Big Change In Its Format

WE JUST SAW LUIS Manzano at the Puregold Perks Card launch which he is endorsing. A few days later, we see him again at the launch of the new season of “Kapamilya Deal or No Deal” that he is hosting anew starting this Monday, February 9, on a new secret time slot.

“This will be an all new ‘Kapamilya Deal or No Deal’,” he says. “Wala na yung 26K girls na dati kong kasama. Instead, there’ll be a diverse mix of popular celebrities who will themselves not only hold the briefcases that can change their lives and give them a chance to make a deal of a lifetime.”

Joining Luis in his wacky antics are 20 Lucky Star members composed of a teen heartthrob, beauty queen, comedian, action star, character actor, sexy actress, singer and many more. Before the game starts, a roulette will determine who among the Lucky Stars will be the player for the day. The chosen player may opt to keep his or her briefcase or trade it with another Lucky Star. The bargaining begins and the player opens the briefcases in hopes of getting a big offer from the Banker. This is the first time in all ‘Deal’ franchises around the world that the briefcase models will be replaced by popular personalities who will also serve as studio players.

“Maganda, nakakatuwa, pati nga ako nagulat sa kung sino ang mga makakasama ko as contestants,” adds Luis. “The 20 Lucky Stars will be in the show for one month at pati si Banker, may bagong pasabog kaya abangan nyo.”

So why is Luis chosen to be the show’s host once again?

“The last season of ‘Deal or No Deal’ that Luis hosted lasted for a year and a half,” says ABS-CBN exec Reilly Jun Santiago. “That’s the longest so far. Longer than yung ibang nag-host. Besides, Luis is one of our most bankable and lovable hosts in the country today.”

Is it true Luis will also be the new Captain Barbell now that the Mars Ravelo franchise is with ABS? “Wala pong ganyang offer sa’kin. At malabo ko ring magawa kasi aside from ‘Kapamilya Deal or No Deal’ which is a daily show, I’m also hosting the new season of ‘The Voice Kids’ plus yet another new game show for a big company. So sa hosting muna ako.”

Valentine’s Day is coming soon. What are his plans for him and Angel Locsin? “It so happened na February 7 is also our anniversary, so baka isang celebration na lang ang anniversary namin at ang Valentine’s Day.”

Does he think their relationship now have more chances of being successful than when they first went steady some years ago? “Siguro naman, kasi we‘re both more mature now. We know how to handle things better. Magkaroon man kami ng mga tampuhan, we’re now more equipped to handle conflicts and we already know what to expect from each other.”

Don’t miss the premiere of an all-new “Kapamilya Deal or No Deal” beginning February 9 on ABS-CBN.
