iGMA: Andi Manzano talks about men and her career

Sa taglay niyang ganda at galing sa hosting, surely there are a lot of things in store para sa isang Andi Manzano. Andi talks about her career plans and the men na nali-link sa kanya.

Andi was first known for being a disc jock para sa isang sikat na radio station na pinapasukan rin ni DJ Mo Twister. Kaya naman nang pumirma ng kontrata ang dalaga sa GMA Network ay marami na agad ang nagtanong sa kanya tungkol sa tunay na relasyon nila ni DJ Mo. “I started naman kasi sa morning show niya [Mo Twister]," pahayag ng dalaga, “When he started doing TV, sabi niya, ‘O, bakit hindi kayo mag-TV din?’ He was the one pushing me to do iyong mga audition for MTV Philippines. I won the VJ Hunt tapos iyon, it started iyong passion ko for TV, for hosting." Ilang beses ring nilinaw ni Andi during their presscon na hindi naging sila ni Mo. “It was never official. Parang we like each other, pero parang hanggang doon lang naman talaga," paliwanag niya, “Kasi we work together everyday tapos we did TV show together. We were good friends. When he started doing TV shows and I started doing the afternoon show, medyo our friendship [had no communication]." Bukod kay Mo Twister, ang isa pang nili-link kay Andi ay ang Kapuso leading man na si Mark Anthony Fernandez na napapabalitang personal na nilapitan siya at nagpakilala pa sa kanya. “I was like, ‘Wow! Mark Anthony Fernandez!’ Na-touch din naman ako kasi he introduced himself na, ‘I listen to your radio show.’ So syempre [ako], ‘Wow! Thank you for listening.’ It’s just flattering lang naman kasi he’s Mark Anthony Fernandez," masayang sagot ni Andi. Now that she’s one of the deejays for Party Pilipinas, is Andi also hoping to have her own television talk show since hosting is what she really wants to do? “Someday. Hopefully," sagot ng dalaga, “Syempre you start out first with Party Pilipinas. That’s how it goes naman, they try you out. And if they think you can do it, then maybe you’ll expand to something else. I’m just waiting at the same time [for projects]. We’re gonna see what happens." At ang gusto niyang katrabaho for her future talk show? None other than her co-DJs na sina Grace Lee at Jessica. “I’d love to work with [Grace Lee and Jessica]! They’re kinda like my sisters and when we have one show, kilala na namin iyong isa’t isa. Alam ko na iyong ihihirit sa kanya. It’s gonna be super funny if ever that happens," excited na sagot niya. Dagdag pa niya, if ever na magkaroon siya ng sarili niyang talk show, she would want teenagers to be her audience. “Teens talaga [ang gusto ko]. Even with my radio show, the people that listen to me are the students coming home from the school – college students, grade school, elementary," pahayag ni Andi. “Usually naman there’s not a lot of teen shows on TV, so I kinda want to get that teen market. Like this is something teens can relate to, show something na they’re really gonna listen to. Since I think they know me naman somehow from radio, they can transition also to TV with me at the same time," patuloy ng dalaga.
