According to Jessy, Luis’s final moments were filled with love, gratitude, and quiet strength. Though he was in pain, he managed to speak gently and clearly, leaving behind a heartfelt message for his wife and their young child.

“He held my hand, looked at me with tired but loving eyes, and said, ‘Take care of our daughter. Make sure she grows up happy. Tell her Papa loves her so much,’” Jessy shared.

Their daughter, affectionately called “Peanut” by both parents, was the center of Luis’s thoughts even in his final breath. Jessy recalled how Luis would often talk about their child’s future — always full of dreams and hopes, even when his health began to decline.

In the days leading up to his passing, Jessy said Luis became noticeably quiet, as if preparing himself and his family for what was to come. “He wasn’t afraid,” Jessy said softly. “He just wanted to make sure we would be okay.”

She also recalled how he thanked her repeatedly during their last conversations. “He kept saying ‘thank you’ — for loving him, for standing by him, and for giving him a family. It was as if he knew his time was short, but he wanted to leave with peace in his heart.”

Jessy described those final hours as both painful and beautiful — filled with silence, soft embraces, and words that would echo in her heart forever. “He made me promise I would smile for our daughter, even when it hurts. That I’d stay strong, even when I feel like falling apart.”

As the news of Luis’s passing spread, the entire nation was engulfed in grief. Known for his charm, wit, and genuine kindness, Luis Manzano had become one of the most beloved personalities in Philippine showbiz. His untimely death shocked fans and fellow celebrities alike, with tributes pouring in from across the country.

Despite the overwhelming sadness, Jessy says she is trying to stay strong — just as Luis asked. “He didn’t want sadness to fill our home,” she said. “He wanted love to remain, even if he’s no longer physically with us.”

In a quiet moment during the interview, Jessy looked up and whispered, “I hope he’s proud of me. I hope he sees that I’m trying.”

Friends and family of the couple say Jessy has been incredibly brave, holding her daughter close and surrounding herself with people who remind her of the love Luis left behind. “Jessy is hurting, but she’s fighting — for Luis, for their child, for the life they built together.”

The revelation of Luis’s final wish has deeply moved fans, with many expressing their admiration for the strength and love that remains between Jessy and Luis even after his passing. Social media has been filled with messages like “Gone too soon, but never forgotten,” and “Luis’s love lives on through Jessy and Peanut.”

As Jessy begins the slow and painful journey of healing, she says she finds comfort in the memories they shared — the laughter, the late-night talks, and the dreams they had for their future as a family.

“I’ll tell our daughter every day how much her Papa loved her,” Jessy said with a trembling voice. “She may not remember his voice, but she will feel his love — always.”

Luis Manzano may be gone, but his final words, his dreams, and the love he poured into his family will live on forever. His last wish wasn’t for himself — it was for the people he loved the most. A final act of selflessness from a man who, until the very end, thought only of others.
