One may recall that Manahan  made the decision to leave ABS-CBN in 2020, following the rejection of it’s franchise renewal.  He then directed the now-defunct musical variety show “Sunday Night Live” and the noontime show “Lunch Out Loud” at TV5.

Kapuso stars welcomed the director and posted heartfelt messages online.

Pokwang uploaded a photo on her Instagram account and stated, “Congratulations Tatay. See you soon.”
