Jessy Mendiola & Edu Manzano’s Reported Departure: Clarifying the Real Story Behind the Headlines

Recently, headlines have circulated claiming that Jessy Mendiola and Edu Manzano have “fled” the Philippines, leaving behind a “heartbroken” Luis Manzano. But what’s the real story?

✈️ Travel, Not Escape

According to Jessy Mendiola’s and Edu Manzano’s previous social media posts and interviews:

Jessy Mendiola has expressed interest in traveling abroad for personal growth and possibly family time.
Edu Manzano, a former actor and politician, often travels to the United States and other countries for leisure or personal reasons.

There is no confirmed report or official statement that they left the Philippines to “escape” or due to any scandal or issue. The term “tumakas” is exaggerated and misleading.

👨‍👩‍👦 Luis Manzano: Still Close to Both

Despite their family’s complexity, Luis Manzano has remained publicly close to both his father Edu and wife Jessy.

In several interviews, Luis has shared emotional reflections about fatherhood and family.
His tearful moments—if any—could be related to sentimental family changes or celebrations, not abandonment or scandal.

🧾 No Scandal, No Conflict

Let’s set the record straight:

Claim
Reality

Jessy and Edu “escaped”
❌ No evidence or reason for such action

Luis “iyak na iyak”
❌ Misleading; no public breakdown confirmed

Family in conflict
❌ They appear publicly supportive of one another

✅ Conclusion

The story about Jessy Mendiola and Edu Manzano “escaping the country” is an exaggeration, with no confirmed issue or family fallout. Travel may be involved, but it’s likely for personal or practical reasons.

Let’s always approach news with a critical mind and respect the privacy of public figures.
