Vilma Santos is giving her full blessing to her son Luis Manzano's relationship with actress Jessy Mendiola.
In a recent interview with PUSH, the Batangas congresswoman gushed about Jessy's humble, "walang ere" nature whenever she attends the weekly Recto family dinners.
She revealed, "One thing I noticed with Jessy...hindi ko po nakikitaan na kinukumpetisyon si Lucky."
"Siyempre, kahit naman ako, imbitahin mo, meron pa rin akong arteng Vilma, 'di ba, 'yung artista. Pero 'pag may dinner kami, [si Jessy] wala eh, hindi nakikipag-compete, it’s just that: 'I’m the girlfriend.'"
The Star for All Seasons also once again spoke about her not-so-secret desire to see her son settle down and start his own family.
She said, "Ganito totoong istorya noon, [sabi ko kay Luis] ‘dyusko, anak, 36 ka na,’ sabi ko. Ang baby namin, puro aso. Sabi ko, ‘Nak, baka ano… wala na tayong baby.'"
“Sabi niya, ‘Mom, soon, soon, don’t worry..."
Luis and Jessy began dating last year and celebrated their first anniversary mid-July.
