Jose Manalo was once a source of joy for viewers during his time on the noontime show Eat Bulaga. However, netizens have recently taken notice of his prolonged absence from TV5’s noontime show, E.A.T.
Many have been wondering about his whereabouts, and these questions were addressed by veteran columnist Cristy Fermin on her YouTube channel, “Showbiz Now Na!” together with co-hosts Romel Chika and Wendell Alvarez.
According to Cristy Fermin, “Ang totoo po nagpunta ng Amerika si Jose Manalo. Mayroon po silang inaasikasong mga dokumento ng kanyang mga anak.”
Cristy Fermin also posed an additional question to her co-hosts, “Anong tingin mo ky Jose Manalo, responsabling tatay?”
“At least inuuna niya muna ang pamilya niya,” replied Wendell Alvarez.
The veteran columnist admired Jose’s sense of responsibility towards his family. “Ganun siya ka responsabli, kaya lang hindi naman lahat ng sinimulan ay nagtatagumpay. Nagkaroon siya ng problemang pampamilya pero ngayon, ok na dahil kasama na niya ang mga anak niya, na gusto niyang tumira na sa Amerika at doon subukin ang panahon kung magiging mas maganda para sa kanila.”
“Pero sa tingin ko itong si Jose babalik din ‘yun pagnaayos niya na ang lahat doon, no?” added Wendell.
Cristy immediately responded, “Baka nga nandiyan na eh!”
The revelation of Jose Manalo’s commitment to his family sheds light on his absence from E.A.T. It appears that his current focus is on ensuring the welfare and future of his children in America. Despite the challenges he faced, Jose’s determination to be a responsible father is evident in his actions.
