Now that Luis Manzano is no longer with Jennylyn Mercado, is he finally ending up back in the arms of ex-girlfriend Angel Locsin, who is also now single, after breaking up with Phil Younghusband last October? A lot of people believe e reconciliation is possible especially when Luis didn’t comment much on the issue when he was a guest on Buzz ng Bayan last Sunday. He said, “It’s very, very hard to comment on that kasi syempre may pinagdaanan rin naman si Angel at ako rin. And to comment on that, siguro it will fuel certain flames na iwasan na siguro natin dahil baka mabigyan ng hindi magandang interpretasyon.” Angel, in a separate interview, explained she won’t be able to answer whether they could get back together or not, and is presently happy doing what she loves the most and also helping out victims of Yolanda.
